Olimp Riga made it here through the qualifying round where they beat HK Tartu-Välk 494 of the Estonian Meistriliiga & Sokol Kiev of the Ukrainian Hockey League to progress.
They were beaten 3-1 by HK Gomel in their round opener after being outshot 32-19.
Amongst their alumni is former Steelers netminder Ervins Mustukovs, a favourite of mine.
They’ll provide a different test to Aalborg. They’ll be less dynamic in transition instead focusing on good puck possession and fast passing combinations.
They have a former Basingstoke Bison forward in their lineup in Edijs Brahmanis. He played in the EIHLs 05/06 season. That roster had the likes of Jason Hewitt, Danny Meyers, Doug Sheppard & Shawn Maltby in it, familiar names for Sheffield fans.
A win for us here would put us in a strong position.

I don't want to dump all over last nights performance, I'm not, but I fear the physical toll taken might hamper our chances in this one.
Saying that you never know.
Adversity and all that...
1-0 Steelers.
Armstrong winner in garbage time will do nicely.
*edit, sorry 'Army'*

Original feed
I'm presuming the Steelers streams are just a screen capture of this feed which is why the quality during the periods looks so compressed and jerky.
Presumably what is the original feed can be found here albeit without commentary: https://player.vimeo.com/video/647666199
