Game Thread: Steelers v Devils: Sun 1st Sep: Pre-Season

[mark]

Which version of the Devils will turn up ?, will they play in their traditional manner or have they finally got some skilled players to entertain us

[ginger]

Shinkaruk and Duke look particularly handy - honestly can't see there being much between Cardiff, Belfast and us on any given day. Over the season I think Cardiff probably struggle a bit more than the other 2 due to depth, but the top 6 forwards and top 4 D on all 3 teams are comparable

just carry on from where we left off last night in their barn and hopefully stay fit

Hope Tansey is fit to play
Just noticed it’s 6pm not the usual 4 on a Sunday. Ice sheffield issues I suppose.
I wonder if the Devils Nettie is OK he looked a bit lame last night. The incident was curious. They wanted a pen but quite rightly refs didn’t give it. It was behind the net with our forward going round after the puck. Caruth seemed to put his leg out. Maybe I’ve got orange eyes there but it did seem that way to me. Both ended up on the ice.

Nowhere near as good a game as light night. I think we have just made far too many changes. 1-1 end of first and Leavens off with bad high stick to his face. Can’t tell if refs have awarded the penalty as they gone off early to let them clear the blood off the ice.

[Bryan]

Of course, how stupid, no pen as it was our stick. Better period form Steelers winning 3-2
