Video: Sheffield Steelers boss frustrated after another Conference loss

Paul Thompson is far from happy after his team slumped at home this evening.

The 4-3 loss to Belfast Giants was down to a number of factors, he said, including:

*Defensive lapses

*His goaltender being out-played by his opposite number in the series so far;

*Playing with four tired defencemen, due to injury - the search for reinforcements is on;

*And losing Zack Fitzgerald and Colton Fretter, who were kicked out of the game, both for retaliation.

"We have let a win go away" Thompson conceded.

Hear what he has to say on tonight's video.

Sheffield have lost five of six Conference matches, at this early stage of the EIHL season.
