The ice was too good?

[DoUrden]

Anyone want a little wager with me that in the next day or so the Steelers will start to blame the ice for their loss

After all they seem to have been moaning everyweek that the poor ice is to blame so maybe now they have got used to playing on poor ice and don't know how to cope when they play on some decent ice.

I'll offer odds of 3/1 as I'm feeling generous ;D

It should be obvious to a blind man that they lose because they are a poor team.
Their best player tonight was Platt who has come in for Mountains of criticism this season.

Nope we were just SH 1 TE !! (sorry BJ and Admins)

Your team has speed, skill, passion and forwards who could score, and a netminder who was rarely troubled.

We have a team of small (mainly), ageing (in large parts of the team) who one minute play like the team that won us two trophy's last year, but far too often have looked like a mis-mash of unintrested and unpassionate individuals.

Platt did well last night but tonight he played well and gave away a sloppy 2nd goal (just like he did last Sunday in Coventry!)

Stewart doesn't know what his best lines are, tonight's forward lines certainly were not our best, all 3 lines were waek and struggled. He also seems to have ignored the fact that these games between Steelers and Panthers are passionate affairs that require him to motivate his team, he seemingly can't do it though!

As for the ice, well I think you'll find that we have only complained about the ice on two occasions in the last 8 months!

The first was our own Arena's fault, because of the flaming Diana Ross concert the day before the 2nd leg of the Chalenge Cup Final, and the other being Last Sunday in Coventry, when Coventry DID have poor ice with big holes in it - also due to the Rink hosting an event the previouds night.

I don't think that equates to "moaning everyweek"

Check your facts

Diana Ross = Crap Ice.
Crap Ice = BOTH teams have to play on it.

[Bretters]

Diana Ross = rubbish Ice.
rubbish Ice = BOTH teams have to play on it.

Got to agree there, and the challenge cup final would of been just as hard, if not harder for the panthers, as it was on away ice, and the poor condition of the ice aswell.
