Steelers lost 2-1 at Coventry tonight, but the Dave Simms Roadshow was cut off mid broadcast, just after a fight broke out on the ice. Apparently, the final words uttered before everything went quiet was that Mike Cowley (Blaze's Commercial Manager) was smiling at Simmsy!
Throughout the broadcast, Simmsy had been making disparaging references about the Coventry crowd and their announcer 'with the gay hair' and his boyfriend.
If they did pull the plug on him, they have to be given credit for being the first to keep him quiet in a long time!

I was listening to it and that hadn't thought that that could be the reason for it stopping with 4 mins to go but it does make snce. He was talking so much crapand slating Blaze, calling them clueless and classless. Also managed digs at Bison and even tried to get the game calle doff cause of the ice when 2-1 down with 7 mins to go.
Was very ironic heaing Simms of all people talk about how annoying the PA guy at cov is tho and how people are classless. Pot, black and kettle sprung to mind.

it says on the steelers forum that he said:
"This is living proof that you don't have to play Hull and "bloody" Edinburgh"

Why did he say that? What was the build up to that remark?

I'm assuming that he said that because he thinks the quality of the crossover games aren't of the same standard as the elite league games, and shouldn't be included in the fixture list.

I'm not sure what led to that comment because I didn't tune in till end of 2nd period, but as I understand it I think it was commenting on the crowd size and the atmosphere of the game, I'm not entirely sure but whatever if he was calling Coventry clueless and classless maybe he should take a good long look in the mirror because this man is an embarrassment (sp.) to our club and I can categorically say that I no longer have much respect for him, esp. the way he goes on about how much the club means to him. Maybe he should just shut up and listen to what people say because I seriously think he does not.
Anyway we'll see what happens come November 1st when Norton's shares for the Steelers are transferred to teh new owners. I can say this is true because its in print.

(sorry Mods - but accuracy is important, no? - and if Simms says it, then of COURSE it's legit..... yeah, right!) I hear both the Hull and Edinburgh fans are up in arms..... and who can blame them? Especially after other, recent comments from him re BNL teams...... When are the Steelers/EIHL.whoever going to wise up and kick this disgrace out of the sport?

I didn't have the luxury of Dave Simms comments at the Skydome tonight ;D
The ice was very poor (think there had been a concert lastnight). Looked like the paint from the logo was coming through at centre ice (which seemed to be slushy). There were extensive attempts to repair the ice, particularly at the start of the 3rd period (buckets of ice, shovels and a fire extinguisher). However it was the same for both sides and I'd say the referee was right to get the game finished.
The public skating session scheduled after the game was cancelled for "technical reasons".
Coventry lacked "class"? Was Christian who got thrown out for spearing....

If Coventry were clueless and classless but won 2-1 what does that make Shedffield.
Also Sheffield took 58 minutes in penalties one could argue thats classless?
I'm afraid the toys are being thrown out of the Simms pram again because hes not getting his own way.
I think there is genuine embarresment amongst many Steelers fans about Simms antics, who hope that when the take over takes place it may also result in Simms being thrown out of the Steelers organisation.

Bearing in mind how much Jason Donovan got for being called gay in a court case anyone want to chip in to the legal fund for John Dalziel and Paul Wheeler (The two mic men of Coventry)

oh and as well as the other things he said that have already been mentioned I forgot to add that he also started insulting his own 'family' too when a steelers fan texted in a question about the team. I'm afraid I can't remember the exact words but it is something to do with calling the fan an idiot or moron or something like that.

Say what you like about Simmsy but he is a funny guy to listen to on the radio.
The comment about the Coventry announcers haircut was a classic ;D

I'm afraid I can't remember the exact words but it is something to do with calling the fan an idiot or moron or something like that. A fan texted in a comment basically saying that he did not agree with Simms saying that Cicerello should be offered a full time contract. Simms seemed a bit annoyed as DS said that they need another player. A bit OTT if you ask me.

I'll be speaking to you tomorrow, you know what we all think of Simms, Bono. ;D ...and as you well know I won't disagree with you (because you're much bigger than me ). All I'm saying is it was a quality listen. Seriously if anyone has chance to listen to Simmsy commentating on a Sheffield game, do it. It is bl**dy hilarious. I take you all back to 1995 when Simms was commentating on a Panthers v Steelers play-off game at the old stadium. Simmsy has to do his commentary from the middle of Block 9 . Bearing in mind I was driving the car and listening to the commentary on the radio. The following transcript nearly caused me to crash as it was broadcast to the whole South Yorkshire region.... DS: Oh what a check on Rick Brebant that was sheer poetry in motion...Panthers fan sat behind DS: You know you Simms you're nowt but a ****, you know absolutely **** all ;D ;D ;D
