Re: GAME THREAD: Steelers v Panthers: Sat 30th

He's made a couple of top drawer saves in the 2nd period but at fault for their 2nd goal.

Can't understand why we've brought in a guy so rusty and inexperienced.

Surely there was a top drawer keeper available if we were prepared to spend the money...

Reddick dropped a glove in the incident behind the goal.

He was holding his wrist into his chest rather than his actual chest though.

Linesman no more than 8 feet away never called it.

Re: Game Thread: Storm v Steelers. CUP: SAT 14th October

Home from the game. My thoughts were that we controlled the 1st pretty well and could easily gone in 2 or 3 up. We were in cruise control until we gave them the 5 on 3 which they capitalised on then panic set in and had it not been for 2 poor Storm powerplays and a top drawer finish from Vallerand s...

Re: Petgrave & Nevalainen

For me people are very quick to criticise Petgrave - when he gets it right he looks head and shoulders above most players in the league. Inevitably he will sometimes get it wrong otherwise he would be playing AHL not in the Elite league. Niklas is an absolute no brainer, the perfect foil for Petgrav...

Re: GAME THREAD: Steelers v. Devils.. Sun, 14th November.

Rok wasn't at the races but hung out to dry by his D, especially Davey for the 3rd.

Thought we still looked good going forward and we're unlucky with a few tips early on. Nothing has bounced our way in the O zone.

One the 3rd went in heads went big time.

Fox needs to get stuck into them

Re: Steelers Roster 2020/21

It seems fairly obvious that neither fans or Mr Fox rate Bettauer but do we really think budget will allow for a Uni player (decent £££ being paid) to be a spare? I just can't see it.

Perhaps he could be the 'swing' guy again.

3rd/4th line winger and D cover.

Thoughts?

Re: O’Connor leaves the Steelers

Thanks for the memories Benny.

I'd agree that his best hockey is probably behind him but if he was a player playing elsewhere and we had the option to bring him in then I reckon most fans would want him.

Sam Jones as replacement?

Interesting move. Will we see another "high end" Brit replacement I wonder. If losing O'Connor means we could afford to bring in the likes of Farmer, Ferrara or Bowns (as unlikely as that would be) then I'd be very happy.
Won't be Ferrara, signed a deal already.
