GAME THREAD: Steelers v Blaze: Sat 6th Dec

It's the day when everyone is asked to throw the teddies out of the pram. Pity it's not a Storm game.....

I think I must have jinxed Coventry.

The last time we played them on home ice I was full of praise for their coach and the job he'd done with a limited budget. Despite us dominating the game, they were well organised and did a very good job of keeping us to the perimeter.

Since then Coventry have gone into free fall and we've beaten them comfortably on their own ice a couple of times.

It's important we don't take our foot off the gas because both Nottingham and Belfast are breathing down our necks and don't look like giving much away.

I think we might start McAdam in this one, especially with him coming off a good performance against Coventry.

Does Southorn come back in or do we stick with the same, injuries permitting of course?

It would be great if we could go into the Boxing Day series against Nottingham 1 and 2 in the league with very little difference between us in terms of points.

For me we're the two biggest clubs in British hockey, but have had to watch over the last 10 years whilst Cardiff and Belfast take most of the honours.

With the Panthers winning last night, we need to continue our winning streak against a pretty poor Coventry side.

I’d give Greenfield this one and McAdam gets the Dundee game.

5-1 Steelers.

So Greenfield starts.
Expecting split duties over the two games.
