A regulation win for us would surely mean Sheffield will be struggling to qualify on only 3 points?

A Panthers win would be great. And a few choruse’s for Thommo of “your getting sacked in the morning” would be good. Apparently Steelers have now removed Thommo’s picture from their entrance video as the natives have been booing every time it came on. Pmsl 🤣🤣

Hope we inflict an embarrassing defeat on the, close to or double figures would be fantastic!

Don’t be complacent, but you guys should really walk this. Panthers should be too strong in this encounter, just don’t slip up.

Part of me hopes you do us 9-0 to get Thommo out, but something tells me we’ll pull out a noble defeat (5-4, bad bounces and poor reffing) to tide Thompson over for two more months of league losses.

Wouldn’t surprise me to see Gospel in for this one and save Garnett for the harder league match on Sunday. Would love a win non the less but can see the emphasis being on a Sunday win.

Feet on the ground, regardless of their current form if there's a team that can turn it around on us in a heartbeat it's them. Play with the physicality of the 3rd period against the Devils and they won't be able to match us. I'd also like to think we'd score at least 3 out of 4 breakaways unlike Dundee, who really should have put them away in regulation with the guilt edged chances they were getting.

I think we’ll win and do so comfortably. After Thompson’s last post game interview I think there will be a few players who don’t want to play for him. Our team is streets ahead of them at the minute, if we play to our ability then they’ve got no chance.
I don’t want us to take our foot off the gas if we’re leading, make them suffer.

I'm taking nothing for granted... thinking we will walk this or even just have a clear advantage is a recipe for disaster. We just cannot take them lightly, even with Thommo in charge.

I have recent form for taking the opposition lightly in league play, and paying the price, so I've learnt my lesson.
This is the cup though, so I'll predict plus one to however many we tonked them by in the first leg of the semi final a few years ago.

I'm not sure how optimistic I'm being, can't remember what that score was.

Was it only 8 nil? I'll be disappointed if we don't give them a good hiding today tbh, make hay and all that. Any win is acceptable of course but they've had plenty of good wins at our expense recently, and we're unlikely to find them in a worse spot any time soon. I may even cough up for it in anticipation: sheffieldsteelers.tv

Looks like Gospel had the more intense warmup.

2-0 down after 1, Martinelli and, typically, the new guy.

Got what we deserved that period. Need to play much, much better to get anything out of this.

Sounds like we thought we just had to turn up for the points.

Poor first period from us. Way to get them into the game. If we'd have won that first period i reckon thier heads would have dropped.
Its the same issue as the Devils game, just turning over possession far to easily. We must have been out shot 2-1 that period.
We easily have enough to win this game, but its daft getting them into it that way.

I expect a ban for Biggs, don't think the hit by Rissling will result in a ban as I think he was going for the hit but just caught him unintentionally with the elbow.

We played our best period of the season there. If you can stay out of the box and get some quality zone time 5-on-5 you can engineer a comeback.
