The Junior Report - Edition 9


Welcome to another report on the Steelers as supplied by a Junior Member. Enjoy the read.

In the eyes of a Junior Member this weekend was mildly frustrating. 2 points out of a possible 4, which is becoming an all too regular occurrence, and will cost us the league.

On Friday night the Steelers travelled to Braehead, who were certainly not meeting expectations themselves, which is what made the Steelers come out of game victorious. Scotland is always a hard place to go, and getting back to England the same night, having a day of rest before the game on Sunday should’ve put the Steelers to advantage over the Belfast Giants, however it went on to prove to make no difference.

The game opened with the giants taking a one goal lead. A crisp shot beat Mustukovs to give the Northern Irish side a one goal advantage. However the Steelers responded well with Colton Fretter, seemingly a Giants favourite, levelling the scoring later in the period. The game from a fans perspective seemed to be played at a half pace, and certainly not what is expected of the Steelers which is for me what contributed to this loss. Both sides cancelling each other out made for quite a boring game at the arena. 

What didn’t help was the giants extending their lead to three goals to one, a tap in and an excellent breakaway goal contributed to the scoreline. The Steelers gave themselves a lifeline late into the third period, with a 6 on 4 chance at one stage, but it proved too little too late and the Giants took the points in Sheffield once more. Another thing that seems to be happening all too often. 

Steelers now have 4 points out of a possible 18 in their conference, however we hope to see a change in that as we get closer to the end of the season.
