Re: GAME THREAD: Devils v Steelers: Sat 24th: Cup

It was interesting listening to CBW on the Ice Line stating that we had a lot of offensive zone time during the weekend, but too much was perimeter with not enough shots and traffic in front of the netminder. Is this something which is easily corrected through coaching or is it a recruitment failure...

Re: GAME THREAD: Panthers v Steelers: Saturday: CUP

I don't like losing at any time but that was not a disappointing performance, just a disappointing result. That's how I see it. We've had some disappointing performances this season, but based on the stats and reports from those watching the game it sounds like we played well last night. I hope Fox...

Re: GAME THREAD: Panthers v Steelers: Saturday: CUP

Just having a look at the match stats, which I'm not convinced are always correct. Overall Panthers were 1.20 for expected goals and we were 0.99. No period was dominated by one team, we edged the 1st and Panthers edged the 2nd and 3rd. You'd expect Panthers to be ahead on xg in the 3rd, because the...

Re: GAME THREAD: Panthers v Steelers: Saturday: CUP

I'm not watching the game, but in the 1st the faceoff stats were even.

After we went ahead we fell apart on the faceoffs. Do we go too defensive when we have the lead, with players stepping back on the faceoff rather than jumping in trying to win it?

Re: GAME THREAD: Panthers v Steelers: Saturday: CUP

This should be a good test of where we're at. Panthers are on a decent run and I had them down for finishing 2nd in the league behind Belfast. Assuming no additional injuries, I guess Fox will stick with those top two lines. Will he also stick with Whistle between the two Finns? Hopefully we can get...

Re: Return Of The Iceline

Has anybody heard what injury Dowd has suffered. When he was interviewed he mentioned the recovery was taking longer than he hoped and it was very frustrating, but he didn't mention what it was. Based on the discussions on the Iceline, I can see him being out for a few weeks, which would be a shame,...

Re: GAME THREAD: Steelers v Clan: Sat 10th : League

I guess it's no real surprise, but Clan have departed with Head Coach Mike Sirant.

It will be interesting to see who they appoint in his place.

Re: Return Of The Iceline

It should be a more relaxed show tomorrow night after this weekends successes. I hope they don't go over the top though, it certainly was a positive weekend, but we did only edge a very close game against Manchester and beat a struggling Glasgow team......Small steps in the right direction. A big po...

Re: GAME THREAD: Storm v Steelers : Sun 11th : CUP

I didn't see the game, but following the stats updates it looks like we deserved the win. The expected goals for each period was (Manchester 1st) 0.27 v 0.56 0.72 v 0.68 0.26 v 0.51 It looks like we did OK at faceoffs, winning 25 of 47. Gettinger was 50% tonight, which is fine. Top of +/- is Balmas ...
