Four Refs Good, Two Skates Bad!

Well, who would have thought it. The Tessier Saga has its latest chapter opened for us all to see.

Tessier (he of terrible website fame) has today returned for a second stint with the Nothingham Panthers. A team he, of course, vowed never to return to because he “hated the city”. Now if you think for one second that was mere Steelers PR, well I don’t know where you get your crazy ideas.

Tessier seems to have taken on the role of Snowball from Orwell’s Animal Farm. Having arrived in Sheffield mid-season last year following the departure of Jeremy Cornish, Tessier proceeded to revive a Steelers team, though still in the hunt, from what was a down turn and centre them to the Playoff title, culminating in the Steelers fans screaming in almighty joy as Tessier taunted the Panthers fans in, what of course wasn’t a PR stunt!, lifting a set of Golf Clubs over his head on the ice of the NIC.

But all of a sudden “the truth” emerged!

Tessier was cast asunder! He wasn’t the player they had seen on the ice who scored umpteen points, won 90% of his face offs and basically ran the show!

No!

He was the problem!

He had to go!

Booo Dan Tessier! Boo and Hiss!

Dave “Napoleon” Simms played it coy!

Bob “Squealer” Westerdale told us the “truth”!

And the poor animals of Sheffield and SteelTalk, lapped it all up.

It wasn’t Snowball! It was “Steeeeeeeeve”!

So what now?

Dan’s crossed back over the fence to Foxwood Farm and the “Biggest Rivalry since God v Devil” continues with a bit of spice.

Here at The Plough we’ll be entrigued to see how Simms and Moran spin the various issues.

We await Tessier’s claims that “The reason I didn’t return previously was that I didn’t see eye to eye with Mike Ellis, but that’s all good now he’s gone”.

We await the fickle fans in Nothingham hailing their saviours return “We never really hated you.. we were only kidding, you’re great!”

And we await the Steelers fans continuing to fall for the Simms-Star PR machine telling them what they should think of it all!. BOOO Dan Tessier! Hisssssss!

It’s all rather exciting really, isn’t it?
