GAME THREAD: Steelers v. Storm. Sat, 25th Jan.

[SteelerBlade]

Sounds like a good workmen like performance, 1-0 Eberle.

[SteelerBlade]

Sounds like Storm outworking us. 2-1 Storm now, could get messy this.

Instead of highlighting Pride this weekend. Would it be more appropriate to honour the austerwich 75 years memorial, Before anyone starts I have no issue with Pride, but some things are more important

Storm looked sharper that period but we tied it up. Need to have a good 3rd and secure the points.

Coventry won’t be a push over tomorrow so we can’t afford to risk falling back.

[raetiamann]

The two worst periods in recent weeks but somehow we're level with one to go. We need to find a spark.

Ends 4-2

Not our best but good enough.

And the Panthers got hammered at home by Guildford..

[Nathan]

Dreadful.

[Sully]

I wouldn’t say it was dreadful.

Storm are a horrible side and tonight they played with a bank of 4 across the blue line and forechecked really deep. They virtually played man for man In the D-Zone and stuck to theirs assignments, not giving us the space to get our legs going or space to make our plays.

They kept us to the outside really well.

You can see why they’ve snuck a few points recently off the big boys. Thankfully, we came through it. The telly be lots of those games between now and the end of the season as the tension increases.

[raetiamann]

Disappointing performance but two big points. Scored goals at important times and our physicality, particularly in the final period was good to see.

I also thought by and large the refs did a good job tonight. Finnerty did his best to ref the game from the bench and must be close to picking up misconduct penalties.
