To say that had 8 goals I found that quite a dull game to watch. The arena seemed very subdued right from opening face off and the game wasn't much better even when we were 3-0 up.
Giants are a better team than us...simple.

Josh Shalla did well before and after Panthers...maybe he wasn't the issue...

Who’s the healthy scratches going to be then ? Ricci, Lagrone and Hopkins I reckon. Play Hazeldine on D and move Moore and Kelsall onto the 4th line. Ricci offers something different to any of our forwards and we look so much better with him playing up top I hope he isn't scratched.

Very watchable game tonight,not many clear cut chances but both defences and goalies had decent games.
Some very soft calls from the refs tonight
Hammond probably had his worst game I've seen him have for us.

Leeds would probably be the most likely in the next few seasons,they are getting crowds comparable or better than Storm,Stars and Fife regularly.
They probably want to see what happens when the honeymoon period of being a new team wears off though,if crowds are still stable or growing then they might have a punt.
They might however look at the MKL situation from a few seasons ago and be a bit cautious.

I need a bit of help on Matt Myers’ two minute cross checking penalty in the third. He clearly drew blood but only got two minutes. Why not 2+2? Are they only called on high sticking penalties that draw blood? The less said about the reffing on the play the better. The ref stood right next to the incident clearly shook his head in a ‘nowt wrong with that’ fashion whilst the other ref, stood some distance away with the net (and probably a player or three) blocking his view, put his arm straight up despite not knowing at that time that blood had been drawn. And then the penalty was called as cross checking and not high sticks! That call was bizarre,as you said the refs clearly disagreed with each other.

brings home with a bang average defence especially when they are playing short, we also have 2 bang average goalies one of which is slightly better but has the self discipline of a bull with a red flag in front of him... Great to get the win to learn sheffield have gone top... happy new year everyone... The league went months ago so I just want entertainment now...if the games are as exciting as tonight I'll be happy. Sheffield were always going to catch Flanes at some point,we aren't even in the same stratosphere as them these days

Good win in the end,seems a while since we got 6 at home.
At 1-4 I feared the worst but a bit of the old never say die Corey hockey of the past turned up!
Welychka with a nice hat trick and great to see Ferrera with a PP goal!
Oh the dog in block 5 made the evening even better...he was loving it haha

Pretty even game up until the ruled out goal then we seemed to go to pieces.
Our finishing was woeful whereas Sheffield's was clinical.
Dubeau had a decent game apart from his howler but by that time the game was gone anyway.

If that crowd figure is correct that surely must be the worst attended competitive match at the arena ever!?
2 wins on the bounce hopefully we're heading in the right direction now.

I'm a season ticket holder and even I've not bothered...it's been a struggle turning up to season ticket games let alone extras this season.
Probably be the best game of the season now I've said that.

18:00 Face Off, guessing in case of World Cup Final. Plus not a bad idea considering having to come back from Scotland The final will be shown on the big screens prior to the match apparently

I had a funny feeling we would win tonight,we always seem to up our game against Cardiff at home...weird
The amount of times Devils kept passing the puck out the zone on their 5 on 3 was amusing...
Hopefully the same intensity against Giants and Flames next week and who knows

Well hopefully with tonight being so bad Corey will see what he needs to change and quickly.
I get from his interview the players aren't in the right shape so hopefully a full week of training in the Corey way might start to change stuff.
We need at least 2 new players

Well...we might win a cup at least...
I'm quite pleased with this,you never know he might relish playing under Pacha and his time away I'm sure he's learnt so much.

IF the rumours of dressing room unrest are accurate then I'm not shocked this had happened.
I don't understand how the team can perform so differently from game to game, the results haven't been good enough.
I do feel we need some personel changes aside from a new coach though.

Sloppy and just not showing anywhere near the level of intensity as last week. That showed they CAN do it when they are in the right frame of mind. But one game in 6 or 7 like that just isn't good enough.
Flames coasted large parts and didn't have to get out of 3rd gear for most of it.
Reminded me of the Fife game in October when we lost 3-1

Great game,best of the season and probably since before Covid.
Intensity, goals, we just looked good
Giants stepped up a gear in the 3rd whilst we tired but hung on with some superb defence from everyone.
I finally feel we're turning a corner in terms of goalscoring,21 goals in the last 4 home games...a massive improvement since the early part of the season.

I know we lost but I found that game quite entertaining!
Defence for both teams was non existent but some lovely goals from both teams.
Felt we ran out of steam in the 3rd but doesn't really matter with this crazy cup schedule.
Lots of newbies there tonight,hopefully some Will come back if they think it's that exciting every week!
Best comment I heard after the game
'Where are Steelers from?' 'Wales I think'
