Dead rubber CC game?

Play BB and save Rok for the Flyers game.

Agree with above. Brust has to start.

It’s a totally meaningless game in terms of progression to the next round so it’s more about tweaking systems & giving minutes to guys who need it.

I’d expect Sointu to get plenty of TOI to get that sharpness going, could even rest anyone with niggles.

I’d agree, a dead rubber game. I really don’t like the amount of CC games everyone has to play.

Plenty of minutes for Shudra, Whistle etc if they’re on the roster.

I'm sure they could make the whole thing a bit more interesting and competitive if a bit of thought went into it.
Group stages for a competition in which only 9 team take part is a bit underwhelming tbh.

I agree.

We only have 3 Saturday League home games until 2022. I’d move CC games to mid week if possible.

Total shambles from steelers. Too many men unnecessary penlties, atrocious power plays....on the other hand looked vastly superior in the few minutes we had of 5 on 5.

[SteelerBlade]

Hoping the referees allow some 5-on-5 hockey to be played in the 2nd.

1 - 1 at the end of the first, looks like a shed load of penalties, 10 minutes Steelers, 8 minutes Panthers

[SteelerBlade]

Martin Látal puts us in front shorthanded on another Steelers penalty. 1-2.
