GAME THREAD: Giants v Steelers: Fri 16th Jan

End P2

Giants 3-1 Steelers

[Bryan]

We look tired. Their play in our zone is exhausting us. I fear for us in the third.

[Doom]

We're just not good enough.

Dowd and Balmas have carried the forwards this season, we'd be nearer the bottom without them.

Some very poor recruitment during the summer and during the season has left us well off the pace.

Down to the Challenge Cup and Playoffs now, but I really can't see this team doing it.

At least we've been much better at faceoffs than I expected.

I guess it will be all change with the lines again tomorrow.

I think we need to up the physicality slightly, only Tremblay following through with his hits, still think our D is a downgrade from previous years.

[Bryan]

I think we might actually have the two best players on the ice in Balmas and Greenfield. But that’s it. We have too many rather average players. Giants are solid throughout and I agree with Doom, they look to have better recruitment overall. They also play a stronger game. They are just sucking the life out of us with their offensive zone posession.

[Rendo]

The stat on the TV then had us leading the face offs 16 - 20

[Rendo]

Just looking at the highlights, why dont our D clear the crease

Freakish bounce off the backboard leaves Greenfield stranded

Why would they start now? It’s not in their playbook.
