GAME THREAD: Belfast Giants v Sheffield Steelers, Friday, 24th March 7:00pm

[smbmetal]

I think this will be a close game. These games are easily the best watches of the season for me and we certainly play much better away from home.

3-2 Steelers in OT.

[stans lad]

Anyone actually think we can win this?

There's no doubt that Belfast are the better team, by some distance, but wouldn't it just be the most Steelers thing to do, to go there and tip the cart?

We're completely inconsistent in attack, on D, the only department that has any sort of consistency is in the Goal Tending but we're due a smash and grab against the Giants, maybe this Friday it could happen?

I think you could be right, it's just the sort of thing this team would do.
Better form away, it's not a must win game for Giants so perhaps a little less intensity.
We really need to build some confidence in the remaining games to stand any chance at all of progressing to the finals weekend, let alone winning it.

I guarantee we can win it, we are or certainly have been good enough to win belfast, its that simple.. will we, well to be honest no I dont think we will, Belfast will be well up for this and we have certainly lost any Mojo we had in the first half of the year. but the standings prove a point we are only a couple of bad games away from being with them at the top of the table.. we CAN go there and win it....

4-0 Giants think Besko will get the shutout just too good for us all round I’m afraid.

Well after the weekends results, even the O/T loss against the Flames, we should be quite happy with things.

Ok Saturday was pretty routine stuff as has become the norm this season against Nottingham but Sunday was, despite the loss, a great game to watch and should have inspired a whole bunch of confidence going into Belfast.

Need to make a shift up into the momentum gear now if we're gonna have any chance of silverware this time out.

Let's smoke em boys!

Good start lads....

[Nathan]

2 zip.

Can we call a time out please?
Preferably a 30 minute one.

[Nathan]

2-1 !

Neumann channels his inner Crosby and scores with a lovely backhanded play.

[Nathan]

And then Neumann makes an unbelievably dumb play to turn the puck over and it's 3-1.

I'm done....

[Nathan]

4-1


GAME OVER!!!!!!!!!
