I will be in the Orange House early doors - and there is no way you can miss me (my height and slight weight gives it away) so come along and say howdo, we dont bite honest.

For the game, the best game of hocey ive seen, and if im honest, now ive seen all teams, its gonna be a region thing, caus for the title, its gonna be us, Notts and you.

Payette, wont go into a topic about that muppet, enuf said IMO

rest of the team, more than impressed, including #89 I think, plays the game well and would love to see him in teal and orange.

Also, big howdo to 2 cov fans who gave a cheer when i picked up 50/50 winnings, hope the drink in enfield was ok for ya ;D ;D ;D ;D

If I get there in time before going up to prepare the music, there's a pint of your favourite tipple in it for you Dave ...

Fantastic win tonight. A three point weekend against last seasons double winners is very satisfying even though it would have been nice to have hung on in overtime and not gave them that extra point. The league is looking very interesting and exiting now. A five horse race with almost every game being a 4 pointer.

Good game edge of the seat stuff we were the better team on the night and deserved the points without a doubt.
Critical moment of the game was the handbags at 52 mins, that man advantage ran the clock down nicely.
3 out of 4 cannot be bad.
Steelers looked like the best team to visit the skydome so far IMHO.
What a great game winner by Chris.

[Claret & Blue Army]

Very tense exciting game form start to finish just glad we were able to hang on to get the regulation win. The team dug in well tonight and gave their all.
Cracking goals from Chrissy Mac too

With the Sheffield double-header coming up, what are peoples predictions for the two games? Here's what i think:

Away: Steelers 2 Blaze 3
Home: Blaze 2 Steelers 1

..That's right, i'm going for a four point weekend. Some might say that's just too much to ask, i say the Blaze have what i takes this season! Don't let me down lads!

Everyone else...?

Well i wasn't too far off with my prediction. I got the home scoreline right and the score the wrong way round in the away game.

We came second after overtime.
Incredibly we have now lost in overtime in two successive weeks. The time prior to that was in March 2001 at Peterborough. Looks like we're jinxed now
Still I'll take a 3 point week end

I actually think the last time we lost in overtime prior to this season was the BNL championship season when we played up in the ISL challenge cup where we went into overtime twice in home games. I think we finished tied after overtime against bracknell but lost in overtime against london.


As for the Steelers result 3 points against the defending champions is a very good weekend as they really seemed up for the games.

I had forgotten the Knights one but I was thinking in only relating to our own league sides or as is with the crossover thingy something that has everyone in. I still look at the ISL cup as little more than prestige challenge games ;D

Spot on about the 3 points at the weekend given the opposition. If we can be that consistent from here on in then the sky's the limit
