A return to league action

It will be interesting to see how Storm approach this game.

Will they continue with the 'goon' style tactics against a banged up team? That's how I would set my team up against the Steelers, especially if we are short benched.

Hopefully Greenfield will be fit for this one and has hopefully only taken a knock in the CHL game. I'd be surprised if Watling plays though.

4-2 Steelers.

I don't think they have any other way to play, especially on their mini-rink.

Watling amazingly may be back, but looks like Greenfield, Dowd and Vainio all going to be missing. Sounds like Ripley will be with Steelers this weekend

Any mention of Janatuinen?

It's going to be incredibly tough this weekend, not only the missing players, but also the fatigue from such a tough midweek game.

All things considered, that's not a bad looking lineup.

The defence is exactly the same we had in Nottingham the other week.

The top 3 lines look OK, although we need to start seeing more from Ciampini and I don't mean dumb penalties.

The key will probably be how well DeFillipo plays.

I fully expect storm to ‘accidentally’ bump into him a few times. Tansey needs to be ready to protect him without giving away penalties. If we can give him a solid D we should be able to make chances up front.

Honestly, I think he's done. Whatever this condition is, it's probably going to finish his career. Such a shame as those first couple of CHL games he looked a class above.

Goal Storm

1-0
