Watch #25 Gettinger on this shift.
1. Won faceoff
2. Zone entry
3. First retrieval
4. Blocks the clearance attempt, gets the puck back to the D man
5. Screens the goalie
The pass to earn the 2nd assist is nothing special, it's everything else beforehand that makes him good
5/6 on the week and won the 2 most important games.
I also feel like all 3 performances were good. An extra bounce in that Coventry game and it's a flawless week.
Team looks good apart from Teissala. He's done everything possible to lose that game
Steelers lose the shootout. Tait loses control of the puck. Balmas our only scorer
5 points put of 6 on the week is good going overall
Brandon Whistle MOM, fully deserved. Complete performance.
Cardiff lose in Manchester so Steelers win the group, gets us the 2nd leg at home
OT was fun. Lots of chances both ways, pretty good looks from us. Even got IBN out for a tactical faceoff
Absolutely essential backcheck from Whistle on the PP to diffuse a shorthanded chance. He's been superb
Better 20 overall from us. So close on the powerplay twice, Balmas looks back to his usual business already.
Horrendous play from Teissala on the PK. Not sure he wants to be here, not sure I think he should be here
2-2. Aarnio steps up at the blue line and neither one of Whistle or Juusola really cover his man adequately. Far too easy, PK been poor

Notts fans gaslit themselves in the summer.
They lost too much: Fossier (noones fault), but Noel, Spencer, Marcinew were all elite in their roles.
Noel is their most notable absence. They have 18 points from D men this year - lowest in the league bar none
Game where I think we were carried by a handful of very good performances:
Archambault, Rockwood, Gettinger, Tait, Diffley & Erkamps and Greenfield
