Steelers are already suffering a number of injuries most of Which occurred in the games they played against the blaze.
Marquardt, Fitzgerald,Roy, Fretter, Nelson & Kirk are all doubts for the weekend. Nelson was taken to hospital after their game on Sunday.
The irony is Thompson is already spitting his dummy out over questionable hits which injured some players and could've injured others.
The irony of it all... Maybe he should think twice then of having his players continually run opposition goalies.
I don't like to see players injured. But it's Karma in full force. What goes around comes around.
Onto the game itself. There's no reason if we play the way we have been that we can win this game whether they have any injuries or not. Let's just hope we don't go into a slump like some teams have post CHL in the past.

The game? Beat them and beat them up. In any order. |

Tickets booked for this one, normally very nervous for the Sheffield away games but this time, with this team, I am very excited!
We have the momentum, let's take it to them and show them what a team we are this year!

I've always thought that Sheffield would rest Armstrong for games against us however if they are missing players, then they will be forced to ice him and if they haven't got someone to protect him, then who knows what will happen.
But then again, if Sheffield have got their private Referee officiating,then Sheffield will have all the protection they need.

I can't see a different roster with a new Nettie being bothered about it 6 months later. |

Can see us losing 5-0 or something daft. Its the kind of stupid thing that would happen in a Steelers game. Lol
In all seriousness they should be there for the taking. Batter them if we can get a mental edge on them right off the bat. Saturday is still the bigger game though.

I can't see a different roster with a new Nettie being bothered about it 6 months later. They couldn't do retaliation at the time as at the time, they were attempting to protect a lead and couldn't afford to lose any more players. If they let them get away with it, they'll just do it again and we certainly can't afford to lose a Goalie. |

I wish they were at full strength, sometimes when a team is hit by injury, complacency can set in and we end up getting upset. Hope we go for it, full throttle and don't give up until the final whistle. You know if the situation was reversed that they would want to pump as many goals past us as they could.
Despite them being down players, if it actually is as bad as they say, which could be gamesmanship, they will fight tooth and nail till the end.

Hopefully this time when their forward tries to drive the net, our defenceman will put his shoulder through him, instead of letting him do it? |

And I don't think Gagnon will turn down the chance should Corey or anyone else suggest it. I'd still make a stand as it was pivitol in our play off exit last year. More importantly make it clear this team wont take it this time around. |

I agree, Brown doesn't mind dropping the gloves and he seems to have a hatred for them lot, I hope he makes a point of it, so long as we're winning of course |

I'm hoping we stuff the Steelers and stuff them big time.

Looks like Sheffield will be only 2 imports down, Thompson said Marquet and Fitzgerald won't ice, but the rest should be back.

theyve made it clear Roy and Fretter won't be 100%. Now I'm not saying we go to injure them but if they're on the boards and we've got a chance to finish a check, I hope we go through with it. When Roy gets in front of the net, I want Gagnon putting his weight on him and making him as uncomfortable as possible. I want us to make it hell for them.
If we play the physical, speedy game weve used so far, no reason we can't win.

Money is tight... who would you rather give it to - Panthers or Steelers? Or any other team, come to think of it? Not that they'll need it... judging by how little white ice you can see on their pad, they must be raking in a fortune from sons or! Well, there's one born every minute... |

To tell you the truth, most fans aren't that interested in The Challenge Cup until the Semi-Finals especially if Season Ticket holders have to purchase tickets. Another factor that may have to be considered is that the game against Turku has suddenly become an extremely important game and not the throwaway game as most fans expected and therefore some fans bought a ticket for that game instead of this one |
