GAME THREAD: Clan v Steelers: FRI 17th Jan

Off to the land of deep fried everything.

The current hockey ‘Forrest Gump’ team….you don’t know what you’re going to get (box of chocolates).

Always good to get one over on Mr Neilson.

3-2 Steelers.

I wonder who will be fit for this one.

Dowd and Vally were missing at the weekend. I believe we also lost Shudra, Golod and Vainio.

If everybody is fit, I would expect Fox to stick with the Golod/Simpson/Leavens line, which had a very good weekend.

With the Juusola/Watling/Balmas line a no brainer, the 3rd line could be interesting.

I think Dowd and Vally would be paired together, so would Fox look at dropping a defenceman or put Tansey with them and possibly rest Ciampini.

I actually quite like the look of those lines, assuming everybody is fit.

No score updates from me tonight, at least for the first two periods as I have a meeting from 6.30pm.

Leavens and Vainio not icing. Ciampini moves up to take Leavens spot with Simpson and Golod. Dowd, Vally and Whistle all back and make up the 3rd line

[Doom]

It's a shame Leavens is out, because I would have liked to see how the Golod/Simpson/Leavens line developed.

Good to get the Brits back though.

Behind Golod, Leavens has been probably the 2nd best forward in this last 10 games or so. Hopefully it's a precaution for tonight with him able to ice tomorrow

In truth it has been largely the Clan v Greenfield but we are 3-0 up thanks to 3 brilliant individual pieces of excellence.
