Yes they would. And they would tell you it's easier to bounce back from a defeat when you are more wounded. We didn't lose because we aren't as good, we've proved that already. We lost because we will ill prepared and didn't match their intensity. They were in the position tonight we will be on Sunday; humiliated and desperate to make a mark. All those things can be addressed and can be put right for Sunday.
The score would've probably not been so bad had we not pulled Bowns at 4-0 too.

I watched the post game interview and it was said that having to watch Cardiff celebrate on their own ice for over an hour, gave Sheffield even more motivation than they already had and it showed from the drop of the puck.
The lack of discipline will only hurt the Cardiff team not the Steelers. Those incidents could have been embellished somewhat but suspensions could really hurt the title run as well as the playoff matchup.
The post game party until midnight Sunday did not bother me as much as the travel back to Cardiff on Monday and then back to Sheffield on Wednesday did. The legs just weren't there tonight. That late aggressiveness, to be kind, was needed back in the first period when Sheffield outskated and outhit the Devils.
This one game we wish hadn't happened shouldn't negate all the great ones this season and hopefully it should be a valuable lesson for the team.

Get off your backside and see what I saw. As I said in my post at the start... I'm no better fan than anyone else because I was there. I chose to travel. My choice. I have a right to an opinion like you do. My opinion is that the cup was fantastic. That performance was unacceptable and I have right to vent that. Do not mock my post as "post of the year" because of it. I have a right to vent off. Which happens to be in line with most of others.

I stand corrected on Temme fair enough, as for your smart arse comment about being negative about a 11-0 beating then i will take that with a pinch of salt, please correct me if you will but i dont remember to many positive posts from you recently when things have been running nicely, but now the shit has hit the fan and hey presto here you are!!!

Agreed, Fancy being negative after a 11-0 beating from your fierce rivals Whatever next.
And it wasn't Finny who mentioned fickle fans it was Temme.
We'd all be raging if it wasn't for Sunday!
When you get kicked in the nuts you can't help but say OW!

And there was me thinking the fans had moved a little back into reality after the last couple of years or so and then BANG one crap result and straight back into meltdown !!
Yes its a rubbish result, yes its frustrating that the team seemed to have reacted badly but crap happens. Judge them on the reply on the ice rather than laying into them, especially after the great season we have been having.

I would prefer a 1-0 defeat to an 11-0...imo that scoreline wouldnt acceptable versus a top euro side..maybe it shows nauevity and lack of fitness/preparation..this league does throw up strange results though and if a teams intensity isnt there then anyone can get a hiding..even the CC winners..wait and see what the weekend brings though i admit it will be very difficult if you have a couple of suspensions particularly if you go a couple of goals down..
