Big Match Preview: Away Double Header


Welcome to the look ahead to the next Sheffield Steelers games.

After a home double header which saw the Steelers win one and lose one then crash in midweek to Cardiff, Steelers are on the road for this weekend's games. They start the weekend on a Saturday with the short trip to the following:


Hello again Nottingham! It's only been the best part of just seven days since we played you last and what a game that is. If you left the Arena early last Saturday then you missed a dramatic conclusion. However, since then both sides have had differing fortunes and lie uncomfortably in mid-table which for both fan bases is not really acceptable. Both sides are playing for a decent end to the season which hopefully will give them a decent shot at the end of season play-off quarter finals as their respective title dreams are just that, dreams.

This game could end up with euphoria for the Steelers fans present in the NIC, or it could be another horror show. Both coaches are under pressure, someone is going to be disappointed at the end.

After Saturday's game, it's a lengthy road trip down south for the Steelers as they make their second trip of the season to one of this season's surprise packets:


A visit to Surrey and the Guildford Flames. Steelers have had the best of both games so far, scoring seven goals in each encounter and winning them. Yet Flames are a team that you can't discount on those results, they are fifth in the table and are capable beating anyone on their day if you give them the chance. Former NHL draft pick Chris Carrozzi has been a great replacement for Brian Stewart, so much so that now fit-again Stewart can't get a game. Calle Ackered and Jesse Craige are the leading two points defencemen in the league whilst they also have former Steelers power forward Geoff Walker in their forward line. They have to be treated with respect.


My predictions? The Bears to take Saturday 4-2 and the Flames to edge Sunday 3-2 (maybe beyond regulation time). The misery I fear is going to continue; much as it pains me to say so. What do you think?
