Is Piché back for this one?

If not with Davey serving his 2nd game suspension we’re a bit light at the back.

Guildford have been playing well.

3-2 Steelers in OT.

Huge game, Flames in good form but we've won there once this season. Glad we have Piche back for this one, shame Davey is suspended but don't think anyone was expecting to see him in this one after the hit on Orvhall.

Do we have to play one short with the suspension? The latest rule I can see means only the player is punished not the team.

However, we can only dress 14 imports so I guess we'll see:

Ciampini-Allen-Neumann
Dowd-Kristo-Latal
McNally-Pitule-Raska
Jono-Whistle-Graham

Nevalainen-Petgrave
Piche-Jones
Connolly-Schulze

Greenfield
King??

Unless someone had a knock I'd assume it will be Mitchell missing out with Connolly continuing on D.

I'm going for a 4-2 Steelers win!

We have to have an advantage for this one, Guildford have had to travel to and from Dundee for this game. 900 mile round trip.

We need to win or will fall behind the pace.

As tough as it gets. Guildford are the best side the division has to offer currently having seen of us Belfast & Cardiff recently.

11 wins in a row in the league, in fact we were the last side to beat them.

Will need to be at our very best at both business ends of the ice.

Tough ask tonight against a very hot Flames. Not yet quite a must win game, but we could do with the win in normal time to close the gap.

Biggest game of the season so far for me.

Last trip to Guildford in League play, they’ve had 950+ miles of travel over the last two days so we have no excuses for bus legs, their’s will be worse.

We need a fast start I think to put the pressure on. I’ll be watching the stream as finally it’s not a CC game :D

COME ON YOU STEELERS! :thumbs:

How times have changed, last night it was Nottingham, tonight it's Guildford but we are calling Guildford as being the big game of the weekend, and it's the right call, Nottingham are not as good as Guildford.
