We scored 3 stunningly beautiful goals. However, I want to focus on the Steelers. First of all, the 5 on 3 call was spot on and in fact, Fitzgerald was lucky not to be joining Roy in the box. Secondly, the stick off the bench. It's plain cheating pure and simple. Can't blame the ref for missing it but the league needs to punish that. I'm actually outraged that a pro player can be that petulant to do that. No class whatsoever. Then Thompson comes out and talks about his angels. They need to take a look at themselves. Thing with the stick off the bench is that it's not a major so what recourse do the league have to punish the Steelers?

Well that shows for sure that Farmer didn't grab Roy, unlike what the lying Thompson stated. Exactly, I don't know if Farmer said something but it was Roy who got the shove in first. The same 'King of Sheffield' who left his stick in on Wiikman & blatantly slashed Lacho from the bench. No place in the sport (never mind in the league) for cheap shots like Roy... no matter how good-a-player he is. Thommo's interview after the game, now seeing the highlights, just shows he went throwing stones out of his glass house...again!

Yep three beauties. And that little blind pass by Williams to Farmer on the winning goal breakout is rather wonderful. 😀

You may hate it, and it's a 101% cheap play for sure, but it's a penalty goal if seen, and it's no more cheating than any other foul in the rule book. They happen, some are equally as petulant (if not more so) and there's a sanction for them if they are seen. Most result in minor or major penalties, this should have resulted in a 4-2 score. The league don't need to do a thing. It was a missed call, that's all. We agree that Thommo's post match interview is hilarious in parts. It's what he doesn't say that's especially funny. Nothing about the mystery stick from the bench, nothing about Hagos' late hit on Schultz etc. They're not a dirty team, though, so they'll have to start embellishing a bit if they want to get some powerplays. Drivel of the highest order. Let's see if he makes some of the threatened changes, eh?

That is what annoyed me so much on the night. Not so much what Roy did (as cheap and petulant as it was) but that all three officials missed it! This wasn't a behind the play, out of sight play. It was an offence on the puck carrier with no other player close to him. How did they miss it? Obviously must have taken into account the fact that Sheffield never cheat or play dirty. Eh Tommo? I have has a begrudging respect for him over the years but it's wearing thin now.

Welcome to the majority opinion - but he has always been like it - thought the new rule on dissent was set up to stop that sort of thing, but it appears after the initial bout of fines is now forgotten as it would cost Sheffield too much

Mozzy only come and " sings when your winning" must have gone to the "dark room" he talks about. Must be on holiday - or realising that you cannot argue against the obvious

I would love to have seen Thommo's reaction if a penalty goal had been awarded for that stick from the bench ! 😀

Just to clarify. I think it should actually have been a 2 minute minor as pointed out on twitter Mustokov hadn't yet been substituted (only 5 skaters on the ice at the time) and it was in the neutral zone.

A 2 minute minor for an offence by a player not on the Ice doesn't seem right

A 2 minute minor for an offence by a player not on the Ice doesn't seem right I agree. Didn't Shmyr get a ban for throwing his helmet on the ice from the bench?

A 2 minute minor for an offence by a player not on the Ice doesn't seem right Could have been a misconduct or un-sportsman like conduct, both of which could have higher penalties.

The funniest thing is that we beat them twice and that gets Thompsons Panthers in a bunch more than anything. Job done, move on.

I just like the fact he's a big body back there (something we don't overly have since Kudroc left) and he has a very good poke check keeping shooters to the perimeter. It's a learning curve for him no doubt but I'm seeing a lot less criticism come his way since he's been moved back. Given the addition of Williams and Schultz starting to fire on all cylinders (when fit he's incredible) is it not more logical to scratch the much criticized Carter? This then frees MacMillan/Lindhagen to move up front and be the workhorse on a given line to compliment more gifted offensive players. There's also the added benefit that when MacMillan plays at centre he wins a lot of faceoffs, something that has been a bugbear of mine for many seasons. Think you will find that's what happens when they're all fit NYR. Macmillan will stay on D,Lindhagen goes up front and Carter gets scratched. Although to be fair to Carter he's playing injured and has been for a while. After doing a bit of digging we actually wouldn't need to scratch outskaters as we can dress 14 imports, there's nothing on the EIHL website (why would there be?) but if you Google 'EIHL Import Limit' there are links to various blogs & forums where this topic is dicussed with a link (to the article from 2014 on the old EIHL website which no longer works though) and quotes from said article. The only player that needs to be scratched on a given night when we are fully healthy is Wiikman/Pacl.

I'm not sure if I'm misinterpreting your post but including both goalies we've got 16 imports signed up at the minute, so we would have to scratch an outskater as well as a goaltender
