Hoping we can continue our recent form.

I've thought a couple of times this season we were starting to build a head of steam and both times it has been followed by poor home defeats.
After an excellent weekend last week, are we now able to build on that? I think the most pleasing thing for me was 9 out of the 10 goals were scored by forwards. We really need our forwards to start firing if we're going to challenge Nottingham, who I see as the biggest threat.
The lines will be interesting tonight, especially if Juusola is fit. Probably my main frustration with Fox is his tinkering with lines. I'm very much in favour of trying to get some set lines to build chemistry between players.
For me he has to stick with the top two lines from last weekend:
Harper/Pu/Balmas
Jasper/Dowd/Gentile
If Juusola is fit, he also has to come back in.
I'd like to see:
Juusola/Heard/Tait
Shudra/Tremblay/Neilson
With Seitz and a defenceman missing out.
Possibly switch Shudra and Juusola to strengthen that 4th line, as Fox originally intended in Coventry. Effectively giving us a 1a & 1b and a 3a &3b.
Tremblay has been one of our most consistent performers, so I hope he doesn't miss out.
Regards
Doom

I don’t see any problems for this game.
Greenfield starts for this one with McAdam getting the final CC game tomorrow.
4-1 Steelers. Straight forward win.

Those two lines are intact with...
Tait, Heard, Tremblay
Tansey, Shudra, Nielson.
Will see if that fourth line actually happens or whether Tansey plays as one of 6 import d men.
Im surprised (but not) that he hasn't mixed Shudra and Neilson between two lines as he apparently planned to do last week.
Unless we get ahead well I anticipate it will be mainly 6 import D rotating with Kelly, Shudra and Neilson getting limited ice as per previous.
