Far too soft.and passive in that third period and was keystone cops start to OT from us compounded by a dreadfully soft penalty call.
You make your own luck and congrats to the Devils. I expect them to lose final by 4-5 goals.
We’ve been soft ever since Fox was brought in. Don’t understand why Nevalainen and Mosey was paired together when he’s partnered Petgrave for most of the season.

Sitting back in the 3rd was also a poor strategy.
Couldn't understand Petgrave and Neva being split.up as you say d pairing been sorted most of year. Maybe getting the left and right shots together.
Was a.typical steelers 2022-23 game and result.

These are all the coaching decisions foxy has to make at which i think he has been very poor at, never been my style of coach all the time he has been here

It really isn't good enough for a team with our fan base.

I suspect we'll take the easy option and stick with the status quo......but expect the same results.

The ot penalty call was a shocker, but we lost that game because we're too soft.

You can't play like we did in the third and not expect to concede. It was just wave after wave of Cardiff attacking. I'm not sure if it was tactics or we had just run out of steam but it looked like the latter. Very disappointing!

It's frustrating, because yesterday showed we can actually compete with the top teams and look like we have a chance to win.

I think the first 8-10 minutes of the 1st we were dominating, an even 2nd period and Cardiff took the 3rd.

For Sewell to call the penalty he did, in a play semifinal in overtime is criminal. The ref next to the play shaking his head, the guy other end of the ice calling a pen.

Is Aaron sadly morphing into a supercharged Thompson 2?
Alex Graham barely had a look in all year and suddenly in our biggest game of year he's favoured over an import!
I thought Alex and Brandon had a good game last night. There were a few what if moments-latal break away that he didn't score on, the OT hooking call.
When it came down to it we weren't good enough all year-no natural goal scorers was probably the overriding factor for our lack of success.
