GAME THREAD: Steelers v Clan Wednesday, 26th January 7:30pm

Not too good a showing from us so far. Think the refs got arthritic shoulders.

0-1

[SteelerBlade]

We’re down 0-1 after 1. Not a particularly good watch with no energy to be found in or off the ice.

We’ll need to start matching Glasgow for effort and compete if we want our superior skill level to take over.

[paul johnston]

Our skill is negated by the fact that we aren't using our speed game for a full 60 minutes. Think we desperately need to shake up the lines, and inject more physicality into our game.
We have been drifting through games for weeks but getting out of jail with 10 minute bursts.

Steelers Goal! Evan Mosey reacts to a rebound and levels it up. 1-1.

[steeler pete]

Much better period for us. 2nd goal wiped out by a holding call.

[SteelerBlade]

Much better second but still room for improvement. 1-1 it remains.

[paul johnston]

No surprise that when more pace and urgency shown we equalise and get into the game more. A few defensive zone errors that could have lead to goals.
Think Hodgman and Polak struggling to create much offence (I know hodgman slapshot off the bar) is causing big issues. I'd be tempted to let Whistle centre Latal and Vally for a bit.
Better, but not by much, a big third period needed.

[SteelerBlade]

Need to be way more clinical in our finishing, 22-9 the shots in our favour. And we saw in Sunday what can happen if you don’t take your chances.

[Jayboy]

It's very dull on and off the ice tonight, both the team and fans going through the motions for the most part, if we can turn up the effort and desire by a few notches the Clan are there for the taking, they in fairness haven't been great but more than enough for our lacklustre performance so far...

Steelers Goal! Vallerand comes up big again and puts us ahead! 2-1.
