Warm appreciation to George for his latest contribution to FSB, All credit for this piece goes to him.
The Sheffield Steelers were up
against a Guildford Flames side who were certainly doing better than expected
domestically at the Arena on Saturday night. As far as 3-2 games go, this was
tedious to watch. No real fight, fast skating, and we only managed to scrape a
one goal margin, past a team that have spent almost their entire existence in what was the English Premier League. Nevertheless two points is two points and this is
how it unfolded.
In the
first period, which was very slow starting, the Steelers were very shot shy and
a bit boring to watch. Flames defended pretty well, but did nothing in the
offensive zone in terms of chance creating. The Steelers weren’t good
defensively. Coughing up too many chances, which nearly proved costly. However
Andreas Jรคmtin decided to open the scoring with 5 minutes left in the first. He
snapped a wrister past the impressive Brian Stewart, who’s return to the arena
was actually really welcoming to see. Nevertheless the Steelers were up by a
goal, well they were until a minute to go when the Flames tied it up, a big
scramble in front of Mustukovs fell to the stick of ... the scramble came from
a big shot from the blue line, hitting Mustukovs chest and then falling
stupidly kind for the Flames goalscorer. 1-1.
The second
period was as dull as the first. John Dunbar was on hand to slot home past Mustukovs after a Flames player drove the net, knocked Mustukovs off balance
leaving a wide open cage for Dunbar to slot into. 2-1 flames. Later in the
period, after a long period of defending for the flames, Levi Nelson skated
through the defence, and unleashed a wrister high over the blocker of Brian
Stewart, making it a tied game at 2 with five minutes to go in the period.
This game
was one of them, next goal wins it. As soon as a team scored a goal, there was
going to be no way back for the other. We found this out when Eric Neiley
roofed over the top of Stewart after a Jonas Westerling back door feed. This
won the game for the Steelers. A tidy finish by Neiley won the game. Although
it was boring throughout, it did the job. The Steelers winning 3-2 against a
good Guildford Flames side.
