Re: GAME THREAD: Steelers v Panthers: CUP Semi-Final 2nd leg: Wed 25th Feb

Great effort. Cruel ending but we lost the extra time face off which was crucial and we hardly got a touch of the puck before they scored.
Can't see Notts getting past Belfast if final is in Belfast.

Re: GAME THREAD: Panthers v Steelers: Cup Semi-final 1st Leg: Wed 18th Feb

Seems like we are Big Tine Charlies at the moment. We can take apart the weaker teams
easily but when we come up against the stronger outfits we play like lemons. No idea why but it seems we have reached the point where we say " Well , we still have the playoffs !".....

Re: GAME THREAD: Steelers v Stars: Sun 8th Feb

Great weekend. We certainly have two great netminders don't we?!!
Clinical finishing and good defence . As Greeny says, now we have to see if we can reproduce that against the top teams , maybe it's not all over yet ??

Re: GAME THREAD: Steelers v Flyers: Sun 1st Feb

Losing Fife costs the rest of the team owners money via less fixtures. Tony for instance would be 7,000 tickets fees down just last night. As for being uncompetitive, 3 weeks ago I watched them beat the pants off us in Fife. There are no teams good enough to take their place and none wish to do so, ...

Re: Glasgow Clan and Corey part company

I can certainly see a correlation between the clan's reference to the pushing of the commercial side in regard to the hockey side. The night out element at the arena has become rather boring for me. First we have a Steeler Dan dance then first interval a Norma and Wave Those Flags. Dance Cam, Dancin...

Re: Thoughts from the Belfast weekend.

Our interval entertainment has become very boring in my opinion. We seem to be trading interest for volume.
We are very wary of putting any fans on the ice, presumably afraid of one falling and suing. Very 21st Century I am afraid.
The phone lights seems a great idea!

Re: Speculation - Title sponsors in trouble

I would think with the club taking several thousand extra each week with the 50/50 the financial consequences of this will not be great, although I have no idea what their sponsorship would bring in moneywise.

Re: Speculation - Title sponsors in trouble

True, it had all the look of a big idea start up company looking to get publicity . However I think Simmsy has said they paid upfront , whether that means one year or three I have no idea.
We will know more if their name is dropped from the games announcements this weekend.

Re: What happens now!

I don't expect anything to happen soon. 3 away games in Scotland on the trot and a Belfast weekend is tough in any season. If we get results against Manchester and Cardiff it will be a case of ,”lets look forward to the Cup ,”and after that, “ lets get to the playoffs”, to keep the 8,000 customers c...
