I'm at a loss what to say.

6 goals conceded against a very poor Dundee team is embarrassing.

The more I see, the more I think my team won't be at the playoff weekend.

We're completely lost without the drive of Robert Dowd.

Keefe signs players with that winning drive, Blaiser did the same, apart from RD, I just don't see that with our team.

Regards

This is the most brittle, soft, lacking leadership and character Steelers team under Fox. No chance of playing well enough over 4 games to win the playoffs. If they do it will be Miracle on Ice 2! Many changes needed on and off the ice should be incoming.

Even knowing how average this team is i still expected to beat dundee no probem,,,,,,,,,, 6 goals in our net on home ice by a team with nothing to play for and waiting to go home says everything you need to know about this seasons squad,,,,,, so average and now in need of a good clear out from coach to players,,,,

We certainly don’t have the most able players we have seen in Steelers’ shirts, but collectively they are capable of much greater things. We have seen glimpses of this during the season. This suggests the problem is more psychological and for it to be collective suggests the coach is probably substantially responsible. Asking him to have a clear out and recruit a new team doesn’t seem to me to be the answer.

Stick a fork in & call it done now.
This is the worst Steelers team since the Tommo / Barasso season.
Some players have checked out already and others never arrived, or lived up to Fox's expectations.
Not to.sigle him out, but to use as an example.
McAdam in OT tonight summed up the season, facing a 3 on 0 breakaway he saves it, then 1min later spills a puck he should control & it game over.
That's out year, occasionally brilliant, marred by periods of utter mediocrity.
No fight, no spark, no plan B, no pushback 99% of the time.
Major work needed.

Totally agree.
