Re: GAME THREAD: Panthers V Steelers: Sunday 22nd March

Why do they have TV timeouts when it's not even on TV? I remember there being some EIHL announcement where teams had the 'option' to take 'Powerbreaks' https://www.eliteleague.co.uk/article/2454-power-breaks-to-be-trialled-in-season-2022-23-at-7-venues#:~:text=Power%20Breaks%20are%20mandatory%20in,...

Re: It's time

At the end of last season, in my mind I wanted to give Fox this season to see if we could improve. Unfortunately, we’ve gone backwards and that’s not acceptable with one the the top player and recruitment budgets in the league. Minus the grand slam season, we’ve won one other trophy and Fox’s hockey...

Re: GAME THREAD: Steelers v Panthers: Saturday 21st March

A result which was no suprise,,, consistent with rest of season able to beat bottom half of league teams but not top half teams, so this ties in with league standings,,,, this year a very average team and thats it,,,, An average team with one of the top player recruitment budgets in the league. Bei...

Re: Watling Injury

Sounds really nasty. Fingers crossed for a speedy recovery.

Huge credit to Watling coming out of retirement to try and help the team. :thumbs:

Re: GAME THREAD: Steelers v Panthers: Saturday 21st March

Pretty sure we can write Fox’s post-game interview. ‘Liked our 1st period and were unlucky not to be leading by more than one” He’ll then talk about, “unlucky bounces” and some players not buying in and not playing for the full 60 minutes. Copy and paste post game interview almost after every loss, ...

Re: GAME THREAD: Steelers v Panthers: Saturday 21st Ma

Wonder if Fox went with Doom to catch the same tram? He may as well have. So over the last 3 games, we’ve managed 3 goals and conceded 12! We ain’t going far with those stats. Nottingham were nothing special, but we were even worse. Utter garbage from us. Skated round like headless chickens. No obvi...

Re: GAME THREAD: Steelers v Panthers: Saturday 21st March

Night and day from the first - not sure how we’ve gone from queueing up to shoot to such a choppy poor middle period. Not that it really matters at this point but Clan 3-1 up against Giants. Here’s hoping 3rd improves and we turn it round for the win. Grande looks like he’s going to take something ...

Re: GAME THREAD: Steelers v Panthers: Saturday 21st March

Consistency really isn’t our strong point this season. Poor 2nd period from us and another garbage game.

Re: GAME THREAD: Steelers v Panthers: Saturday 21st March

Panthers must have beer in their water bottles still celebrating their CC win.

Miles off the pace.

We should be punishing them with more than just the 1 goal.

Our goal was a good goal for me, no way was that kicked in.

Re: GAME THREAD: Steelers v Panthers: Saturday 21st March

Whilst I think the league is better for a strong Panthers team, hell would need to freeze over before I’m pleased to see them win silverware above us.

Like the games against the Panthers, things are just too friendly and soft IMO.
