GAME THREAD: Devils v Steelers: Sat 20th Dec 7pm

Superb result by the sounds of it.

I must admit I didn’t think we’d get a win in Cardiff, but am delighted we have.

Hope we have enough gas in the tank for tomorrow, because a 4 point weekend would be ideal.

Well done lads.

Stolen 2 points there. Excellent result, clinical enough when we did get chances, but Cardiff dominated puck possession.

Interesting though to look at the advanced stats and the mid and high danger chances were almost even - Cardiff had 3 more mid danger chances. We did keep a lot to the outside, but we got turned around too much in the D zone and could not get good exits.

Injury to IBN doesn't look good. Nothing wrong with the hit, just unlucky.

Big chance at a 4 point weekend - huge going in to the 2 against Nottingham

Waiting to hear details of the shoulder injury to IBN, seen a few rumours but will wait for confirmed news.

No idea how we won that. But glad we did ! Some great calls and challenges by Foxy. Balmas is a legend. Never lets us down.

Maybe a bit biased but I didn't think the Devils should have got that goal washed off. Great game of hockey mind, and those sort of calls sometimes go for you as well as against...Big legitimate hit against your guy and I hope he recovers quickly.....

It's a good call on the washed off goal - they didn't show the overhead view on the highlights but clearly shows the Devil's player push off Greenfield. The view they did show doesn't catch it clearly and the commentators were both of the good goal opinion until the overhead view. Once they saw that both felt it would be washed off.

Very good challenge from Fox on that one

Definitely a point stolen. Greenfield looked like that’s one of his best games as a Steeler. Outstanding.

Whilst there was only one view on the disallowed goal in the highlights package, I have to say I’d have been disappointed if that was ruled if we’d scored it. Didn’t look that much wrong for me. Seen much worse than that and a goal was still given. I would need to see a better angle to change my mind I think.

A monstrous (fair) hit on IBN. Kudos for Tremblay jumping straight in to stick up for him. Hope IBN isn’t too bad.

Looked a cracking game. That extra point could become extremely important later in the season.

After watching highlights,,,, got to say,,, how fortunate were we to of signed greenfield,,,,, so consistent and definitely that game winning goaltender

On the live stream they had more views including a overhead one where you could clearly see the devil guy holding down greeners arm with his stick, and even the commentator agreed with the no-goal call.... they chose not to add that bit to the highlights tho!
