Hello Steeltalk thanks for tuning in we did say it was biased coverage

Just to recap Steelers goal was Sirianni, (14) from (Spencer, DiCasmirro) @14:15 (PP)

Devils goal was Davies unassisted at 4:10

4:12 left in the break and its steamed up a treat in front of us .. next period shaping up to be a little like Gorillas in the mist at this rate

a comment from Nigel on tonight's game Mike Hicks had sunk to new depths of poor officiating tonight. Under the new 2014 rules if you are taken into the boards by your opponent from behind, you get called for Boarding. UNBELIEVEABLE. Steelers have obviously been watching Tom Daley over Christmas, they are diving all over the Ice and Hicks had called everything against the Devils - falling for every one. Darnell now has some serious competition for the worst ref in the history of the game.
