Note: Tues 19th, Steelers fixture list says Wed 20th but I've gone with the CHL list.
Needing to overturn a two goal deficit we travel to Berlin hoping for a Steelers version of the "Miracle on Ice" ( ask your dad ) , can we do it ?, well yes as we've already pulled a two goal deficit back in the first leg. We will have to be perfect but if you can't find the effort to try it's time to quit sport and go do something else instead.
Regardless of the result on Tuesday this club has shown it deserves to be in the CHL and that the standards of the EIHL are higher than many in Europe thought they were, just ask Sparta Prague.
One last effort.
Do you believe ??

I do understand why people are wanting the CHL to be over as it is obvious that it appears to be affecting our performances domestically. Even though we've only lost one league game all season so far. We lost on the opening day against Cardiff last season if my memory serves me correctly. So from a League perspective we're no worse off.
I personally want the CHL to continue as long as possible. It's a huge ask to get past Berlin and I expect it might be a bridge too far, however they've got a heavy fixture schedule coming up so they might be tempted to rest some players and they've actually managed to play a game over the weekend!
Whilst it might be just too far for us on Tuesday, we've done ourselves and the EIHL proud. Really hope we get another chance next year and our success translates into some better players coming over to give our league a try
Looking forward to watching the game though, sure it will be a great game. Certainly better than any game on offer in the EIHL.
3-2 Steelers.

Unfortunately, I think this one really is too big of an ask. Berlin didn't take us lightly that first game, I can't see them doing so this time.
It wouldn't surprise me if Berlin try to finish it in the first - if they can get up by 4 on aggregate, they'll just kill the game off and absorb any pressure we can generate.
Never, say never though - our own Miracle on Ice is definitely the way to put it! Let's hope Fox has been practicing his best Herb Brooks impression.

Everyplay have caught the steelers disease. Last night the list of games had club names and badges. We were down to play Skeleftea in name but not badge Then this morning they had the names matching the badges and the game time as 6:15, then it changed to 6:30 and finally they have it at 7:30 local time. I think I might just try it it at the earlier times to make sure. It’s a dangerous thing to be playing the Steelers !
