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

Really tough now. Decent start, but realistically you need to win each period.

We will need to be more aggressive which will give Nottingham the counter attack advantage.

Early 2nd period goal required here.

All terribly scrappy. We really don’t look able to create grade A chances. Having said that we’ve hit the post and had one drift along the goal line. Given a bit of luck it could be different.

Panthers call timeout and Fox has nothing to say to them, but it backfired on panthers anyway

Steelers 3-1 Panthers (3-4)

Happy with that. A cracking 2nd period from us. Only 3 line hockey, but had Panthers on the ropes.

1 goal is easily possible in the 3rd. Especially the way we’ve tilted the ice in our favour.

What is the OT format for this game?

3 on 3. 10 minutes. Then penalty shots.
