After a very easy win, this will be a completely different game on the tiny ice pad with a dodgy surface. Same for both sides though so got to adapt well. Certainly won’t be as comfortable as yesterday, our record in recent years is mixed here.

I'd love De Luca to get paintbrushed from the off.

Always a bit of a comedown after playing the last four games in decent rinks to have to travel to a shed in Altrincham for a game :lol: Fully expect a bit of goonery if we go a couple of goals up although I'd be surprised if DeLuca wants any part of Allen or Mitchell, or Dowd for that matter. It will be a different game though as our speed and skill advantages are reduced on such a small ice surface so maybe a closer score than yesterday.

Going to watch the stream for the first time in Storm land. I’ve heard you get a better view than actually being at the game :D

I’d be fuming with Storm’s performance if I were the head coach and would want an immediate reply. I’m not sure they have the players to take on the likes of McNally and Mitchell especially when they lost their chief enforcer a month or so ago.

I expect a closer game than last night. 4-2 Steelers.

Apparently it's a sell out...

Had some initial buffering issues but stream appears to be stable now.

Fuming with our D and especially Piche who did NOTHING while Greenfield got hacked and chopped. They’ve taken him out at least twice with no repercussions. You can see their game plan.

Greenfield rightly fuming with our D. Sort it out Fox.
