But next year can all clubs please think a little bit more carefully about their designs.
I never want to see an ice hockey jersey covered in blood splats ever again.

To the many of you who have been asking how I am, this article will explain everything.
Please give it a read if you feel able to.
Our thanks to Steelers match night commentator

Please only read if/when you are ready to do so.

Pogon Szczecin, a club who've never won anything in their history and have finished 3rd, 3rd, and 4th in the last three seasons, celebrated the end of their pre-season training camp by singing "We Are The Champions" on karaoke.

In the very first Challenge Cup Final, played in Sheffield in 1999, the Steelers won the trophy. They opened the scoring at 02:00 through Teeder Wynne.
Today, the Steelers opened the scoring at 02:00 through Brien Diffley.

I know it's been mentioned elsewhere but I just want to add just how cool it was and how great it sounded when the

We're not like the others.

In his time as Head Coach there were 21 trophies (league, CC, PO, conf)

That 43% success rate is the best in EIHL history for any coach who was with their team for more than a year.

It took until 1997/8, the club's 7th season, for
@steelershockey
to go through a season without a promotion, a league title or making a final.
It happened again 7 years later, in 2004/5.

I spent most of the hour before the game watching the

When

Cardiff then won 12 games in a row to close the gap to... 14 points.
Tonight they played their game in hand and lost it.

As a result you won't hear me say how the Panthers outplayed Steelers in every department, or how there were no redeeming features about our performance, or how since Cardiff lost we've arguably got away with one.

Last night

Mark Simpson's goal after 12 seconds is the equal-quickest goal in Steelers EIHL history, tied with Tanner Eberle against the Panthers during the Elite Series.
This drops Daniel Ciampini's goal after 19 seconds on Sunday into a tie for 4th quickest.

I've never got Halloween. Wasn't interested in it as a child and still am not now. I've never been trick or treating, never dressed up. I don't see the point. It doesn't celebrate or commemorate anything worthwhile as far as I'm concerned.

I'm not one to stop other people enjoying it.
Having a party? Great. Getting dressed up? Sure. Special themed jerseys for an ice hockey game? If you insist.
It'll raise important funds for the clubs who do it and besides, it's only a bit of fun.

The Steelers won 2 points tonight. Nothing more. There is still an awfully long way to go.
Two more games against each of Cardiff, Belfast and Nottingham plus 11 other league games against teams with plenty to fight for.
Nothing got decided tonight.

It's still early in the tournament but right now Ben Churchfield has a better save percentage and goals against average than Ben Bowns.
The number one overall pick, the player the Panthers traded up to get, ranks last among all goalies in this series.

France were 1/4 to win this game and had a 3 goal lead half way through it.
This wasn't just any comeback, it was against a team that viewed as being considerably superior.
People keep knocking this team, keep questioning the coach, and yet results like today keep happening.

Those 33 penalty kills add up to 58:39 of gametime shorthanded.
Basically, the Steelers have played pretty much the equivalent of a full game shorthanded and are winning it 4-1.

No podcast this weekend to get this point out and I can't be waiting until after Wednesday's game so I'll do it here:
To those complaining about having an old Czech goalie with a save percentage of .898, here's a quick reminder of what happened the last time we had one of those:

That empty net goal in the final second for

The last time the Steelers did this was January 1996.

It's only the 700th win in all competitions if you don't count the Elite Series.
Sorry Panthers fans, turns out it didn't matter after all.

With Saxrud-Danielsen back

The highest scoring EIHL Playoff Final (11 goals) also went the longest period of time without a goal (53:18).
That 2017 Final really was extraordinary.

Having GB at the top level of international level hockey should make playing in the EIHL a slightly easier sell for clubs trying to recruit their new imports. Helps to show of the standard of the players they'll be with/against.

If the Panthers want to have more wins than losses against the Steelers in the Sheffield Arena they'd need to win every game there until around 2034.

Final hattrick related notes for tonight:
Shudra becomes the 4th Steeler in the EIHL era to score a hattrick in the same game as his first goal for the team.*
Tylor Michel (15/9/12), Maxime LaCroix (14/9/13) and Rob Sirianni (13/10/13) have also done it.
* Not certain on this.
