GAME THREAD: Steelers v. HK Gomel. Sun, 21st November.

[SteelerBlade]

End of the 1st we trail 1-0.

[mark]

Been comparing the vimeo stream to the Steelers youtube feed , Vimeo is much smoother and hardly any of that stuttering as the camera pans around the rink, not sure how or why that's happening unless its something we are introducing by re-encoding and re-broadcasting the feed.

Underway in the 2nd.

[SteelerBlade]

Gomel are very strong structurally. Playing a strong puck possession game as you’d expect from a Belarusian side.

Also looking excellent defensively, forcing us to dump & chase.

[SteelerBlade]

Gomel add their 2nd.

Ivan Sekerin the man.

0-2 and there doesn’t appear to be much chance of us scoring.

Going to require a huge effort to qualify for the finals from here.

[SteelerBlade]

Attack vs defence right now. And Sointu takes another minor penalty. Slashing.

[SteelerBlade]

Gomel running riot here.

0-3

Total dominance from the groups best side agains a heavily depleted Steelers side.

Need to find something to avoid a total collapse and almost certain failure to qualify.

[SteelerBlade]

Steelers to the PP. Hooking called against Gomel.

[SteelerBlade]

With 26 mins of play remaining, Steelers out on their feet.

[SteelerBlade]

Steelers take another tired minor penalty. Armstrong for hooking.
