They defend collectively. It’s most impressive. We are lucky if we have our two D back.

Bryan thats how steelers always used to be, team built around defence upwards,,,

Giants 5-1 Steelers

I thought we had much the better of that period but on the rare occasion Giants were in our zone they scored.

Definitely, but at the expense of repeatedly leaving Greenfield exposed and benching our third and fourth lines. Can we last another 20?

[Brian]

Yes an improvement! But it’s a long way back from 5 -1.
Balmas must have been on the ice longer than the refs !

quote of game on webcast so far I think (cut to Fox on bench) "he is on the i-pad probably googling job vacancies in Sheffield" says one of the comms.

[Brian]

Well it shows how useful stats are. We have outshot them 26 to 23 and lead in faceoff wins 20 to 17, and we are losing 5-1. !

[Bryan]

I’ve watched and supported Steelers from the very beginning. I’m struggling to remember a period when we were so comprehensively outplayed as the first here. I also remember being in Nottingham when we went into the third 5 goals down and…..the rest is history. One can only hope !
