Well as I said, today was about just getting through it. Each and every one of them worked their socks off and deserved the ovation at the end.
To judge the game itself it was simply a team with a great work ethic but lacking in quality against a team of real quality. Wouldn't expect any different a result tomorrow.
Essentially this team is still short a top line. Welsh works his nuts off and was on the ice a lot tonight, put a real shift in.
I'd be suprised if Rok is back tomorrow if he missed today with an injury. If he does appear then perhaps tonight was more him not being ready to play in Sheffield. That'd be fair enough in my view.
Anyway. Well done on getting through it all involved.

The team were up in Sheffield on the ice during the week just to make sure everyone wanted to play. Perhaps Roc didn’t

Well done to the guys for going out there and battling, very proud of them all. After what has been a physically and mentally demanding month and a bit the boys deserve a lot of credit.
2 or 3 additional players to lighten the load would be very well received from the players and the fans I’m sure

Played ok in period 1. Plenty of possession but little in the way of scoring chances 5 on 5. Steelers scoring Steelers goals for 1st and 2nd. Poor to let Dowd through to score the 2nd. Robinson probably should've saved the PP 3rd. Feels a strange atmosphere in here. Could hear a pin drop for large periods. Suprised Panthere fans arn't getting behind the team more. Poor turnout from the Panthers fans I felt |

Telling of the difference in the clubs, Panthers social media putting out about the players and the game. Sheffield posting about the 50-50, lucky programme, xmas messages from players and building up the game as a sell out. They also seem to have expunged Petgrave from the club, an approach of, it happened, he's gone, move on.
The attitude of the fans yesterday towards the Panthers is the only redeeming feature of them.

To be fair to the Steelers,exactly the same is happening in Nottingham today. Check out todays Panthers O/S game preview,not a mention of game or players,just a long long list of tickets and webcast, auctions, 50/50,chuck a puck,raffles,flowers,pizza giveaways,charity calendars,vaults and more ! |

Considering it's been mentioned that Panthers went, and were allowed a skate im Sheffield mid week I believe this is all agreed.
I think it was likely agreed that the players were going to find it tough to get out there and play as it was without being reminded of what happened prior to the game with any ceremony or big hype up. Planned to make it as normal as possible for them so they could just focus on playing.
I think it was also quite telling that Sheffield were very business like on the ice too. No usual Steelers antics, no cheap shots, no big hits of any note. In fact, I think Panthers did more of that
Now I know that isn't quite getting back to normal, but they didn't need to go that far to win.
The applause and ovations at appropriate times were about right.
As mentioned, I think if anything Panthers fans didn't get behind the team as much as expected, but then many of those there may have been dealing with being back again.
Also interesting there has been no sign of AJs number retirement ceremony yet too. Again, perhaps waiting for the right time for the players to be able to cope and then play a game.

 Having just seen this I think it makes the point. Subtle and supportive. If I recall correctly they also gave Panthers a little light on their entrance as they came out as opposed to pitch black. |
