Steelers v Devils - 04/09 - League - 7:00pm
- Thread starter Chris
- Start date
3 periods, 3 goals within the first few minutes.
not learning after 1 period maybe, not learning after 2 ridiculous.
We need good away form this year, Sheffield have had a terrible off season and no pre season games. Sorry I know i havent seen the game myself and usually i'm pretty balanced, but we should have done better tonight, barring an escape for victory like win tonight I think G and the guys should be very very dissapointed.
I know i am :cry:

To be honest, I'm not too worried about tonights results.
I know that by tomorrow morning this thread will be full of "we are the worst team in the history of team sports" comments. I haven't seen the game, wish I had stayed in Stroud visiting family rather than seen the score too :lol:
Remember, the Steelers have a lot to prove in this opener. A lot more than us - a unit that is still gelling. A poor off season, major changes - they need to show that they are a strong team.
I'll wait a few weeks before starting wailing and gnashing of teeth.

I'm not saying we are a bad side.
It's just realistically we should have taken something from this game i feel, i dont want it to be like last year where I kept saying 'i wont worry until.... I wont worry until......' Then it was January and it was too late for us.
Our D will take time, but tongiht just feels well a little too familiar......
I'm a Devils fan, I've gotten used to it :lol:
Mind you, our D is probably where we have seen the biggest change this year - essentially having 4 new import D. That was always going to be the area we would see a big learning curve.
Add in 2 of our 3 lines have changed drastically... in any other sport this would be a rebuilding year, with a cup as maybe the target with next year being the one to come out firing.
Oh, to have that level of stability.

just read with hilarity on MNL and i quote "what a load of ...." classic! :lol:
still looking forward to tomorrow night's game. i feel there may be something different about the devils playing their first home game opener. they will want to impress without a doubt and we may just get to see Mr Sawyer in action

In all things, a game does not make a season.
We shall have to see what happens. I hope that the Steelers have set out their stall for the season, as I would hate for them to fall apart mid season through over spending and lack of funds :twisted:
In all seriousness, this league needs Sheffield. The rivalry makes hockey worth watching... and I hope that the house of tin gets decent crowds this year. It needs to be full to stand any chance of getting an atmosphere.

True, but for a team without 2 import forwards you shouldn't have been that heavily defeated IMO after the pre season and off season of the respective teams. If roles had been reversed I would be as unhappy as Gaz right now!
It's just a shame Nottingham managed to win that shoot out after getting such a bad break from Hanson on that disallowed goal...!
