Welcome to our latest report from one of our Junior Members. Hope you enjoy it as usual. Thanks as always to George for providing the article.
The Steelers back to their old
selves on Saturday; but then absolutely unstoppable on Sunday. A weekend of
mixed fortunes it was for the Steelers, gaining two points, scoring 10 goals
and conceding 5, along with another shutout from Mustukovs after his unbeaten
spell in December.
Sunday’s
game was a chance for the Steelers to get their first win out of four against
the giants, and they did that in some style. Scoring 8 unanswered goals in an
emphatic shutout.
The night
started well when Liam Kirk absolutely roofed one past Whistle after good work
from Shudra to steal the puck from the Giants defenceman to set up a one timer
that no one saw until it flashed past Whistle, who was to be in for a
demoralising night. This was followed by an immediate second goal. Ben O’Connor
danced through the Belfast defence to slot past Whistle, which made it 2-0 with
less than 30 seconds between each goal.
Then the Steelers made it three.
Excellent work from Neiley fell kindly for Aarssen who’s shot rebounded off Whistle for an easy slot for Nelson which made it 3-0 with more than 15
minutes to play in the period. The highlight of the night came when Mr Giraffe
himself cocked up in centre ice leaving Jämtin with a 1 on 0 breakaway chance
against whistle. There was only one winner and Jämtin slotted it high blocker
over whistle. A horrible night for the young man; but a tremendous performance
from the lads in their changed strip of blue.
The second
period started, the Steelers were on the penalty kill. Ben O’Connor came up good
with his second of the night during this kill. He skating down the left wing
and let a bullet fly past Whistle to make it 5-0. Brendan Connolly of the
Belfast Giants took a check to the head call late in the period, making him
leave the game, which meant the Steelers were then on a five minute power play.
During
this power play the Steelers scored once. An excellent tip from Marquardt went
through the five hole of Whistle, to make it 6-0 on the night. It’s rare you
see three shorthanded goals in a night, however the Steelers got just that.
Excellent skating from Jonas Westerling after a blocked pass meant that he
could saucer pass the puck straight to the tape of Jonathan Phillips who
snapped a wrister into a virtually empty net. The Steelers rounded the night
off in style when Marquardt got his second of the night near the end. He
snapped one high over the changed netminder for the Giants.
They probably weren’t
so giant after that hammering. Final score Steelers 8-0 Giants.
