Well #flamesihc gave it their best shot and bossed period 3 but #sheffieldsteelers showed why they are by miles the best team this year. Well done to them but our crowd was loud and proud, and our team were worthy of the support. Oh and the atmosphere was kicking too.
Scored my first ever goal last night playing ice hockey! It was from the blueline much as I would like to claim a ripper it skidded across ice caught a defenders skate and dribbled in . Still having it. I’m now rubbish but with a goal to my name .
@TOPCORNFUNDIES@C_th0ms I like to claim a point for a decent poke check . Sadly they won’t let me . Stay at home d so I get nosebleeds up there in the o zone !
@4000AndCounting@zeropuckspod I wish there was more adult development about as I doubt I will ever make rec team level even, but there is something about having a goal, getting off your arse and going skating to try and improve that gives you something to work for. Hockey is such a community and so supportive
@4000AndCounting@zeropuckspod Really enjoyed this pod, esp the 1st bit talking about trying dev hockey. I started playing at 55 being just about able to skate and it's a great for just being accepted and the help better players give you. Its tough to learn new stuff as you get old but satisfying. I'm rubbish!
@tups234@flamesicehockey Agreed. You got to feel for Clan ST holders who were waiting to get some cash in and have been shafted . I complain about some things but the flames ST being for every game is brilliant.
@lukesterryx Well it’s still better than your climbing thing on the second pad …. So you a leisure centre too now 😀 to be honest I don’t mind if you go ok in conti cup. Other than that…… don’t care much . And your car park sucks. And 20 mph ….. don’t take the piss 🫤
@lukesterryx Well I never take the piss . But neither am I crossing anything for you lot . Get to hear too much tories and leisure centre shit😀 Our transition is lightning and I would go as far as to say Tait is easily the fastest skater in EIHL . That’s why we play so different. All pace.
@lukesterryx And you have some of the worst line changes I’ve ever seen! Including our respective rec teams 😀 we scored so it didn’t matter but at one point in Guildford you had 8 on! EIGHT. lol . And the game winner snipe both d backed off and let him pick the snipe . Not the devils I know
@lukesterryx you got to start by finishing your hits . I was in Guildford watching you literally fall apart at seams once we realised a solid hit and Tait in transition was a game changer . I’ve never been a smart arse comments guy . I like hockey . But at your barn we literally ran you over
@lukesterryx Do you think so? I’m not so sure. I don’t know enough about your side really. But I’m a hockey fan who wobbles about a bit now and then and even I know if you get in Cardiff faces you can win . Do you think your European adventure has changed how you play ?
@officialEIHL@cardiffdevils Well he isn’t wrong . Bullied out of a 3 goal lead Saturday. Bullied by same team at home Sunday. Bullied by best team in league tonight. Finish your hits . Close the gaps . Play hockey with a bit of graft. Cardiff have decent players but a soft underbelly currently.
@liampag27 You need to find that spine mate . Teams are literally running over you in your own barn. You’ve been out muscled all your last 3 games. And if you and I know you can be sure Belfast and Coventry and Manchester and Scotland do
@noonanphotos @IGN1T3FPS I agree. I think the league is done . They are so good that over 30 games they will come out top . But they are beatable in a one off and I honestly think flames brand of hockey offers them more challenges than a slow build up team . Tait Crinella and co play super fast hockey
Sporting takes at beginning of year. Hockey.. Sheffield are a fantastic team. Only Flames are even close to matching them , Belfast have lost plot and Cardiff dont like physical hockey. Guildford have blown hot and cold though so who knows?
@BMcAdam27@flamesicehockey I like the fact that from neutral he goes the long way round instead of just attacking net, then uses d man as a screen. Intelligent and a clinical finish.
@IGN1T3FPS Oh I agree. They are the real deal. I cant see anyone but Guildford really making them work for it. They can diss us all they want but I guess most Steelers support would probably agree. Our fast transition game makes them have to play. Everyone else they deal with easily.
@IGN1T3FPS Steelers cant be bullied though. We need to play them in a way they have to respect us. Fast transition game and attacking the net is only way. They are a complete team frankly.
