Coventry are bottom of the league with one league regulation win.

Whilst today isn’t really about the result, I don’t see us having any issues getting past a poor Coventry side. Especially if we play like last night in Manchester.

Loud and proud everyone. Let the guys hear the amazing support! My first live game at the arena this season and I can’t wait!

5-1 Steelers.

GGGGGOOOOOAAAAAAALLLLLLLL STEELERS.

Steelers win it in OT & take the 2 points.

Scored by #75 Robert Dowd - assisted Balmas & Neumann.

Well done to the players & coaches this weekend after what has been a very awful coupla weeks.

We were far less fluent tonight, but managed to get the job done in the end.

I suspect everybody is just glad to get this game out of the way, so well done to all involved.

What a great tribute not only to Adam Johnson, but to Remembrance Day too.

I thought the person that played the last post played it brilliantly!

If Matt Petgrave was in the building the cheers on 22 minutes will have been heart warming I’m sure and probably the loudest I’ve heard the arena in my 20+ years of going to games.

As for the game, we deserved the win in regulation let alone overtime. I’m sure the team and staff will be really glad to have gotten through the weekend and credit to them all for giving their all. Even better with a couple of deserved wins too.

I would suggest with almost 8,500 in the arena, the terrible incident has not kept the fans away. Great to see.

I think the right balance was struck in terms of paying respect and normalising things.

The result was right, we were the better team but I sensed it was difficult for the players.

A lot of support for Petgrave when his picture flashed up on the trim and at 22 minutes.

Class of Dowdy not to overdo the Eddy celebration

I thought Fox spoke incredibly well in his post game interview.

It's obviously been a very difficult time for him as coach, but he's handled it all superbly. He deserves an awful lot of credit.

The two minutes silence this afternoon was deafening. Well done to everyone. It was all beautifully choreographed, right down to the way the players organised the Eddie. I doubt any other sport could handle such an appalling disaster so well. Looking forward , one of my personal heroes, TJ Oshie is leading from the front over neck guards I cannot think of a better tribute to poor Adam than to see them worn throughout the league.
