Steelers style of play and last night's game

I don't know about anyone else but I don't like all this random skating play Steelers have seemed to be adopted. This makes passing very difficult when one player doesn't know where the other should be. The amount of wayward passes last night was disturbing. I appreciate all the board work as very defensive play (even while we are attacking) but it's terrible hockey to watch as a spectator. The first time the Steelers did something positive i.e. bursting down the wing while another player drives to the net, the Steelers score!

I was disappointed with the way London went for their second goal. At 2-1 down then pulling their goal is a desparate act however understandable but calling for a stick measurement?!?!? Was this game that critical for London? Was it a Final? If London lost would that mean they wouldn't qualify?

It's all legal but it just left questioning how desparate they were to win.

I would think London's tactics are more from a guy who isnt used to the ISl rather than some devious ploy. Also with Sheffield in a bit of a dither at the moment , anything that upsets the momentum is worth a go from the opposition's point of view.

However it still sounded a good game.

complaining about London's attitude last night. I remember a certain MWB calling regularly for stick measurements at the Arena when he was head honcho for the Panthers. It's called professionalism and Blaiser would love to have done the same, given the opportunity.

I believe MB did it in crunch games which is fair enough but was that a crunch game for London? I never said it was wrong just that I was disappointed.
