That went south at a rate of knots.

Defence is probably shot after being overworked last night.

Pacl gone off injured, Wiikman in goal. This game is going badly. We sure it wasn't just because of the 7 against?

We're lulling them in to a false sense of security. Just you watch.

Don't think we concede 7 with Miika on the ice!

Defence hasn't given Pacl the support he needs.
You can't expect him, or any goalie to keep pucks out when there's only him trying to stop them. Defence seems to be worn out from last night.
Pacl is 21 too, he's coming from a very good system of a very good team in Europe. He does not deserve the 'backup' title people give him, he's capable, more than infact, but when there's very little defence to support him.. What can he do? About 4-5 of tonights goals came because the defence was poor. Put it this way, in 5-7 years time Pacl will be the solid #1 at a very good team, in a league better than ours. You don't get picked out as one of the best Czech goaltending prospects for being a backup and being incapable.

Pacl isn't responsible for the loss. We struggled so much to leave our defensive zone. That's why we lost.
Nikiforuk had a finely taken goal. He waited for the space he needed and then used it.

Scoring 5 against a totle rival is a big positive. And nice to see Nikoforuk get on the board.
However that positive is completely overshadowed by shipping 7 goals. Especially in the manner we did it. You cant conceed goals in blocks like that. 2 goals in 7 seconds for them to level the game and then to ship 3 in about 2 and a half minutes when its 4 all.
Stange weekend overall. Lots for Corey to work on but its still early.

Was going to go to this but the wife bought me a pot of paint, so I thought I would watch that dry instead - only a CC game so not worried as we should progress anyway - glad to see Ollie on the score sheet especially as many on here have him down as a "bench warmer" - Hope Pacl is not badly injured, lets see what happens next week now

We didn't play well enough tonight, very scrappy around our own net and struggled to clear the zones, left Pacl out to dry a few times. Positives is Nikiforuk up and running and that we put 5 past steelers full strength squad, were missing 2 players and didn't have our number 1 goalie in. Odd to see Moran playing on the wing and Lacho playing centre with Mac on his line.

Also wonder why Lawrence decided to go as watching the webcast it was off screen when it started. Anyone there see the start? Wonder if we'll have Brian in next weekend and if he'll have a quick word with Desbien and just let him know who's house he's in

I don't think we should have started Pacl tonight, it was a bit of a task for him tbh knowing he would be under pressure, plus I don't think we can play as defensively as we did with him in net, he doesn't clear the rebounds well enough. Corey's fault on that one and I'm sure he will acknowledge that.
Right, let's pick the positives from that game, Nikiforuk and Lindhagen with some quality goals, the line of Mac, Lacho, Betteridge should stick as our fourth line, played well. Larry restored some pride to the team, fought a tough customer but stood up to him.
An off ice related comment, there was a large amount of our fans there tonight who didn't join in with chants, make any noise, looked disinterested or like they didn't want to be there, I'm just wondering why they go? It baffles me

As an aside, the Steelers seemed to have garnered a major sponsor. Their Terry's Chocolate Orange kit however is bloody awful.

Glad we started Pacl and glad the first game against those was just a CC game. I would have gone to this but not interested in the group stages of the CC. Sounds like an entertaining game and if we can score five past them without two players and our second NM in I am happy. I'm also happy we look like we can score against the best too. I wouldn't look too much into this result tbh on to next week I say.

Could be worse, we could be supporting Blaze or Clan - any bets on how long Finnicky will last??

Can't say I'm too disappointed at a group stage loss in the challenge cup. We did some good things and some bad things. Nice to see Nikiforuk and zbetteridge get a coupl. I feel do Pacl but he honestly won't t start another game in Sheffield unless Wiikman is incapacitated completely. We instantly look better and that isn't a slur on Pacl but the team was built around Miikas style of goaltending. It's no coincidence in my eyes that we have won every game Mikva has started this season

I know what you're saying but it will have done very little to help Pacl's confidence or the team's confidence in him, he's shipped 7 and had to come off injured...
