GAME THREAD CC: Coventry Blaze v Sheffield Steelers, Wednesday 24th January 7:30pm

[greeny]

Seems like the perfect middle period,, things as they were

[Bryan]

Blaze significantly more threatening in second. No real alarms though. Greenfield had to do what he does a few times. Steelers seemed to commit less to forecheck which is probably sensible.

At 6-0, save the body

That's all she wrote. A 6-0 win for the Steelers.

The perfect road game, hopefully no injuries,,,,,, no more to add

[Bryan]

No obvious injuries and everyone played as normal as far as I could see. Vallerand perhaps not quite at his dangerous best. Ciampini who got MOM was excellent. He is having a bit of run of good form.

Ciampini seems to be in a purple patch.

I bet Tony Smith went into the dressing room afterwards and gave them all a rollicking.

How is he supposed to sell the 2nd leg now, especially to Coventry supporters?

Nottingham must be really looking forward to this weekend.

Dominant, fast, confident offensive play in that first period combined with woefully soft, inept d zone Blaze play resulted in us realistically putting this semi final to bed after 20 mins. SOG, faceoffs won were more or less the same.
Difference being the scoreline and the netties save percentages!!
Terrific result with Allen edging my MOM. He's been the weakest import performer for me so was nice to see him have a stormer.

I appreciate I'm jumping the gun slightly but where is the Challenge Cup Final being played?
