steelers Vs Devils - League - 10th Sept 22
- Thread starter James
- Start date
Back to the game.... a rather more low key game (despite the frequent swapping of niceties at every whistle) than some in Sheffield. Steelers really didn't look ready for the new season and from about the second minute there was only going to be one winner. No lack of effort and a decent forecheck from the Devils and the change in style from last season is obvious.
There was too many sloppy passes to make it wholly comfortable but, when needed, Bowns was superb and great to see Duggs get 2+1. The officiating was a bit random, as mentioned Brandt got away with both leaving the bench and joining a melee, but didn't impact on the result.
Brittain plays a smart game but I am still not totally convinced the lines are balanced yet - Crandall is not a great fit for that line and I wonder if Waller might be swapped in for future games?
If I was a Sheffield fan I would be a little concerned about the ease of the winner but as a Devils fan I was delighted by the effort and the change in style.

Yes Crandall is one of the smartest and best set up guys in the league. I feel he's a bit wasted down on the 3rd line with no out and out goalscorer with him.
I totally get wanting scoring depth throughout the lines but it's not quite right yet for me. Splitting him and Reid up has made both of them far quieter so far this year.

Or, it could be absolute nonsense?
Strange how the only people who heard these racist chants were a group of young girls who had spent the game taunting the devils fans, and their friends who were on the opposite side of the arena.
None of the devils fans heard it.
None of the steelers fans heard it.
None of the Sheffield Arena staff heard it.
And when the girls apparently reported it the Sheffield Arena management told them racism was ok.
Or maybe, the girls made it up.
