steelers Vs Devils - League - 10th Sept 22

[James]

Let's get the new season under-way and what better way than a visit to the house of rust. Devils will face the steelers Saturday night 7pm and we'll see what both teams are really about.

 

[E.D.S.]

Too early in the season to call this one (although I did in Pemba;s fantasy league thing), we could get steamrollered 6-0 or batter them with a stellar performance. No idea but a good one to gauge where we are even if it is so early on. We could be two game and two losses after this weekend but no need to panic. Could also be two wins out of 2 and I'll be convinced we'll win the league.

Will the game still go ahead after the sad news of the passing of the queen yesterday?

 

[BostonBart22]

O.T win for devils both game this weekend.

 

[Wannabe2]

Think all sport will be cancelled this weekend, but could be wrong.

 

[Hockeymad]

Football is today most probably all weekend too

 

[Kevlar68]

I believe it's only today, day of mourning, nothing about weekend sport until a review of official mourning guidance.
Life goes on, sport can pay tribute to the queen at each event instead of canceling which is a better way to honor her.

Governing bodies meeting DCMS later today

Games weren’t cancelled in 1952 so there’s a precedent.
I wasn’t quite around then but it’s what I’ve read somewhere.
I agree that a better way to show respect to someone is at a game

 

[Rempel16]

The guidance has also hinted that there's no need for sporting events to be cancelled, only on the day of the funeral.

I might get shot down here but I’ll be disappointed if this weekends games don’t go ahead. I could obviously understand if all sporting events in the UK are cancelled but it Looks like the English Rugby Premiership and English Rugby League games will be going ahead so why not EIHL games?

I suspect that there is a fair amount of financial necessity for these matches to happen.

 

[The_Stick_]

Correct decision. Fans can now share their respects in unity with others

I suspect that there is a fair amount of financial necessity for these matches to happen.

Indeed ..... and also I fundamentally disagree that sitting at home watching the TV is a good way of 'paying respects'. The game will give people the opportunity to sing the anthem should they wish and then have 2 minutes contemplation. Something that would not happen if it was called off.

Right call by the EIHL for me

 

[Devil94]

Absolutely the correct call. It's sad for the people who liked her but let life go on as normal for others.
