I'm confident if a tad concerned.

If we don't dig deep for this one we really are in the wrong occupation.

I’m not saying we’ll get hammered, but at least Keefe was in the bar buying everyone a drink first

Wasn’t a penalty for me on Dowd. Neither side deserve to be winning so far.

Oh I think the giants are better all over the ice except perhaps in goal

Belfast far superior. Lots of quality, much faster, slicker, organised and stronger on the puck.

Greenfield is the only reason this isn’t a rout, yet.

0-2 after 2.

Completely outclassed. Belfast remind me of watching Steelers teams of old. Never say die. Perhaps they’ve stole our identity while the shop was open.

A very Blaisdell type team and performance is exactly what I was thinking. The Steelers have been neutered over the last few years-maybe the gradual nature of it is why it's not noticed so much. Not even close to being second best in the second period-but we should be used to that.

Tonight we are 2nd in a two horse race & by some distance.
They are faster, well organised with greater depth. At times we've been chasing shadows. It will take some spin to take any positives from this one.
Now Vallerand gets suckered into a dumb penalty...

Think the Refs have been buying everything Belfast are selling them, which is annoying as Belfast don’t need to be diving and faking hits to the head.
We were losing anyway by cheat?

Vallerand should be ashamed of himself…totally unprofessional. Now mcnally wants to join the club. Oh dear it’s all a very sorry sight. Goodnight
