GAME THREAD: Steelers v Storm: Saturday.

[mark]

Need to be careful here, Storm are a strong team, they need to be seeing as they have been holding up 8 other teams for most of the season

Greenfield gets a rest for this one for me.

5-1 Steelers. Manchester are poor this season.

If there is still a chance title can be won then i would expect greener to be in between pipes,,,,

Win this game & we go top of the table!

That should be enough incentive.

We seem to have a team this year that when it gets rolling it can blow the opposition away.

However, when teams stop our flow, we can get frustrated like in the Coventry game and then we push too hard and leave large gaps at the back.

Hopefully we can get into our rhythm early on, but Manchester still have a shot at the playoffs so they'll be up for this.

It was good to see all the main 3 lines contributing to the goals last night, particularly the Leavens line.

I think Tansey has also been back to his best in recent weeks, which makes me think he had been playing with a niggling injury.

No way do we rest Greener for this. Whilst we're still in with a shout, Greener plays every game.

Absolutely, why would you drop your star goalie in a championship race with a few games left !
As demonstrated when we lost to Fife any team can beat any other on a night in this league.

Only playing Greener for two periods last night shows Foxy is balancing the need to win with the need to rest him. I expect him to start but if it turns into another blowout like last night I'd give him another third period off. The difference between the Clan and the Storm is that the Clan still tried to play hockey even while they were getting battered, Storm won't do that, they will just show why they are the kings of cheap shot hockey. I'll be happy to come out of this with two points and no injuries.

As I have just heard from about 3 miles away!

Storm score on a rebound but Greenfield's helmet had come off on the original shot. Under review.. Given, unbelievable

Steelers 0-1 Storm
