Wonder how many casual fans will roll up to this one now DeLuca has signed?

Could potentially light up their season.

Another good opportunity for us to experience their rink and extend the gap at the top of the CC.

No injuries and a win of any kind would be ideal - hopefully full strength going to Dundee in the league on Sunday.

Hopefully we keep our good defensive habits going, keep creating chances and get a bit more luck / be a bit more clinical in front of goal and keep the wins coming. I'll go for a 5-2 Steelers win.

Another exhibition game. Give our backup a go. Rest Greenfield. 3 games in 4 days is a lot to ask of a goalie.

4-2 Steelers.

Shame Oscar is injured, as he would get the nod for me in this game.

Absolutely! Wonder how long he has before he can play? Guess on the positive side he's had plenty of time to concentrate on his Uni work.

The least important game of the weekend, should go through the motions and try to give equal ice time to all platers. Think it's a good shout to rest Greenfield and keep him fresh for tomorrow.

Should probably be simple enough, even with DeLuca. I think he gets more credit than he deserves. Steelers in reg, although the result doesn't particularly matter. Make use of the backup. Use the less experienced, younger lads. Get on there and smash them.

I’m not as confident and think Storm may beat us in OT. Our scoring is not where it needs to be and Storm are stronger in their barn.

Here’s hoping I’m wrong 🤞
