The Sheffield Steelers were up
against a fife flyers side who were certainly punching above their weight in
terms of what was expected of them at the start of the season domestically.
They came to the arena on a Sunday night after taking four points off the
steelers in league play over two games.
The game started very well for the
Steelers when Matt Marquardt fired top shelf within a minute after they had absorbed some very early pressure. This was a welcoming start as it got the game off to a good start and was also influential in the outcome
because with their tails high the Steelers then added a second via a slap shot
from Ben O’Connor beating the substitute netminder Marr. Andy Iles having to
leave the game early due to an injury picked up in the opening minute. The
Steelers added a third through Fretter, whose goal helped the
Steelers to a thrashing. He carried the puck a long way to roof over Marr, to
make it 3-0.
The second
period was more of the same from the Steelers, more goals coming their way. The
fourth came via the stick of Miika Franssila, his backhand cross crease pass got
stuck under the pad of marr and into the net through the five hole. Steelers added a fifth through Mathieu Roy, his backhand attempt roofed over
the top of Marr to give the Steelers a five goal lead. A sixth was added through Liam Kirk, his breakaway was well finished as he went one on one
with Marr, he clipped the post on the finish but no one could really care as it
was now six nil to the Steelers. Goal number seven arrived late in the period
through Colton Fretter as he benefited from a Mathieu Roy pass which meant for a
simple tap in from the great Fretter: this was also scored shorthanded.
Early in
the third period Fife got on the board because of the Steelers changing their
goalie, Brad Day played excellent but couldn’t quite reach an Isaacs shot that
trickled in via the post. Something for the fans from Kirkcaldy to cheer. The
Steelers rounded off get another emphatic victory through Tim Wallace. He got on
the end of a rebound right in front of Marr to add an eighth.
Final
score at the arena was 8-1 to the Steelers.
