Only 5-1 end of 1st.

Just extraordinary plus we hit the post twice

Good first period that from the Steelers. After we got the second goal, there defence opened up and from then on it was easy to get through.

Brust has made a few good saves too.

Only 5-1 end of 1st.

Fantastic so far.

Belfast are very fast and I don’t expect us to have that lead at the end of the 2nd

Appalling penalty called on Brust but in spite of the stripeys we keep the score at 5 1 end of second....how tired are we for the third?

Second period we started off on top and it looked one sided. Towards the end we defended well to keep it at 5-1. Can't see us losing this with the way we are playing.

[steeler pete]

0-0 period.

Barry got an interference call for not very much. Seems to have the fans on his side now. Chants of Barry, Barry, Barry ring out.

Think Belfast getting a bit frustrated and desperate.

Agreed, looked harsh as he was playing the puck. A defender does that it's clean, guess it's a bit different for Brust. Not sure why though. Extra padding maybe?

Game of the season so far for me. Barry’s check was his own back from the 1st period when he was hit in his crease by the same player.

Hope we don’t tire too much in the 3rd, I expect a big effort from Belfast.
