GAME THREAD: Coventry Blaze v Sheffield Steelers Sunday, 2nd October 5:30pm

[Jayboy]

Back to Elite league action with what could be a tricky away game.
Who is going to win this one?

[smbmetal]

Coventry have started well and in their building this will be a good test.

We've not really had a difficult start only playing Cardiff once and not playing Belfast at all.

I've gone for a Steelers OT win - 4-3.

[Nathan]

Steelers reg win.

Not gonna be easy though.

[smbmetal]

I may of heard incorrectly but isn’t their number one goalie injured?

They’ve also got to travel back from Cardiff. I expect a Steelers win.

A big test away and we really need our offence to click into gear.

Yes, I think it’s a groin strain he took in the home game against the Devils, Jordan Hedley is on a 2 way with us and MK this year and took over to give us the win in that game and then played again last night away at the Devils.
Unless Paavo Holsa is recovered and was rested for last nights game, I expect Hedley to play tonight, he’s playing really well and been right on it vs Devils.

Not an easy game in the slightest this one, I've been impressed by Coventry's start to the season, hopefully we can go into their building & come away with those much needed 2 points.

I'll go 4-2 Steelers win with an ENG to seal it for us.

[SteelerBlade]

Coventry will provide a very tough test in what is already a hard building to play in. We’ll need to adapt to the ice conditions and dimensions.

Mosey is out for a month so Graham is coming in for this one.

Can see why Smith wants 16 imports on the books as we’ll never have 16 fit & available so need to be able to ice a full side.

[smbmetal]

3 games in 4 days for Coventry will take their toll. No number 1 goalie. We won’t have a much better chance to take the game to them and ensure a win.

A far more important game than the exhibition game last night. Especially if we consider ourselves a championship challenger.

[Spoony]

Steelers reg could put us on top, Steelers OT will be good enough I think though at this point in time. I've gone Steelers OT
