Re: GAME THREAD: Steelers v Flames: PLAYOFF Q-Final: Sun 12th April

Tremendous 60 tonight by everyone my MOM was Ritchie who put in a real power forward playoff show especially in those first two periods.
As Fox said in post game interview, we are either very good, which is rare, or very bad, which is much more common. Can we play like that three games in a row??

Re: GAME THREAD: Steelers v Flames: PLAYOFF Q-Final: Sun 12th April

Cracking 20 mins of hockey. For me it's our physical/rough stuff hockey that has helped get us our 2 goal lead. Need to keep it up within sensible limits though.

Re: GAME THREAD: Steelers v Stars: Saturday 28th March

First action (after coaching team is set in stone) is looking at the plans for the Brit corps. I think Fox and the Sheffield organisation as a whole is doing a lot to help this recently (Kudos to Tony Smith and coaching teams). Steele, Lynch, IBN and Watson have all played EIHL minutes this year - ...

Re: GAME THREAD: Steelers v Stars: Saturday 28th March

Ripping this team apart is not the answer? That's an interesting opinion. Lack of goals, poor in the D zone, stale, ineffective pp, lack of character and leadership for me suggests big changes needed. Need some fresh ideas behind the bench too. Would a different coach with the same players have don...

Re: GAME THREAD: Steelers v Stars: Saturday 28th March

This is the most brittle, soft, lacking leadership and character Steelers team under Fox. No chance of playing well enough over 4 games to win the playoffs. If they do it will be Miracle on Ice 2! Many changes needed on and off the ice should be incoming.

Re: GAME THREAD: Steelers v Giants: Sat

Another flat, disappointing performance in a big game. Sadly this team frequently lacks character and leadership. Apart from the first 7-8 mins or so we were very flat. Jasper and the fourth line put up a fight but there wasn't much else. Some awful d zone play at times and some cracking individual ...

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

A fantastic game, the effort from the three lines was fantastic. A game of ifs and buts. If Jasper could hit the target on one of his 3-4 great chances. If Tait also with his great build up play could bury the puck. If only the Notts d man hadnt cleared the puck from near the goal line when it got p...

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

Can we do our own Miracle on Ice and overturned this deficit?;
Mmm i'm not sure with this team, let's hope we don't concede early on the first shift or two as we frequently do.

Re: GAME THREAD: Flames v Steelers: Sat 21st Feb

More chopping and changing of the top three lines. Id have been tempted to leave Harper Heard Ritchie alone and shuffled the other 6 but Aaron doesn't work like that. Hopefully we can come away with the two points
