Shout out to Justin Crandall. Played a hard game, made some key blocks and harrying Stars all over the rink. Alderson, especially early playing the kind of physical hockey we were hoping he would bring. Great to have options with Busch and Ully back, and congrats to that line for producing...

Re: Harewood, have been slightly surprised we haven’t tried him on a midweek game. The Dundee one recently would have been perfect. Low stakes and not going to clash with Pitbulls. Put him on 3rd line and see what he can do?

I think pool of viable non import home grown players is pretty small. The few in the NIHL wrecking shop like Kieran Brown seem happy to be a big fish in a small pond. There has also been a trend in recent years for players who can perform in EIHL to drop to NIHL for lifestyle/second job...

Looks like they’re now focusing on resting some of their guys with knocks and giving Greenfield a break which suggests their sights are now firmly set on playoffs. Great about Martin being back. Need to nail down second just incase we need it for conti cup qualification.

2nd rather than 3rd probably going to be crucial if we want to do conti cup again assuming Sheffield don’t get stopped in playoffs. Opponent in qualification is going to depend how the cards fall. I think of the potential opponents Fife and Glasgow are the ones to avoid as Fife have shown able...

Fair play Ions playing a blinder for Steelers so far.

Took two friends who had never seen hockey before to this game. Was trying to explain the rules to them but the officials made my job almost completely impossible. "Why did they give a penalty that time but not when something similar happened earlier?" :rolleyes:

Busch injury - It looked to me like an elbow hyper extension from where I was sitting. Lucky inferno isn’t running an A&E department as that’s at least 3 different joint injuries we’ve diagnosed from 3 different posts! He looked like knew was properly hurt as went straight down to changing...

Enjoying this so far. Good effort and look hungry. (This inevitably with jinx the rest of the game.)

Ariel on the stream listed as "The one to watch", they are wrong, tonight will be Brandon Alderson unleashed.

Cov’s mentality since early season slump is something else. Almost unbeatable if goes into OT. Curran coming back has been inspired. Already has more points for Cov than Giants this season in league. The 8-0 game seems so bizarre. We didn’t really kick on afterwards and they did.

Great volume from fans again tonight, pleased for the lads to get the win. Hope Cox and Sanford not badly injured, gave chance for Davies, Brandt and Duggan to see a bit more ice time. Happy for CD to get the winner after being out for extended period, another positive performance tomorrow...

Has King gone? Elite prospects page has him as a goalkeeping consultant for a junior American team?

Silver lining is we’re hosting. We’d have been tempted to go overseas to see this, would have been major downer for fans to be in Astana out of contention after first game. Hopefully can use the last two games to try out some new ideas or lines and get confidence up before next weekend.

Really hope today’s results don’t have the cup won by end of the 3rd game of the tournament. Likely to hit attendance for final two dead rubber Devils games which would be a real shame for the owners and staff given huge logistical changes/organisational challenges they have overcome, and hit...

So, we ideally need Herning to win this afternoon in regulation and for us to win in regulation to give us something to play for Sunday night. I assume if Astana win another game in regulation even if we win final two games they win because of head to head record?

Feel so sorry for the owners. Took on the costs and logistics of this weekend. Half full rink and we may be mathematically out of it tonight. Fans were loud despite not being so many of us, credit to block 13, but also the fans in general. We were buzzing after second ended. We looked...

I agree, if there was such a thing as a good cancellation this was it. Avoid injuries, go into a 3 game weekend with an extra recovery day and after a win with a bit of pep in their step. Also happened early enough to avoid a 4 hour round trip wild goose chase! Rest up Devils.

Couldn’t get leave so can’t make this one which is a shame as we will nab a fun OT win heralding the start of the traditional official Steelers collapse. Cox MOTM. Go Devils.

New coach, team in transition. I feel we are decent this season, I’m not expecting us to win anything as we’ve been unlucky that when Giants have become beatable again Steelers have taken a further massive stride. Imagine how tight league would be if it was last years Steelers? Would be...
