Steelers Away Weekend Review at Hull and Coventry by Craig Jones

Steelers run riot in Hull but disaster strikes in Coventry

The hockey weekend for Steelers fans began on Friday night as many of us sat at home glued to our television sets in one of those very very rare occasions where we all sat cheering on the Nottingham Panthers. Despite our well wishes, our nearest and dearest couldn't bring themselves to beat the Braehead Clan to do us a favour and left us five points behind the Clan after their 4-2 victory over the Panthers.

Onto Saturday and the first game of the weekend was a trip across to Hull to face the Stingrays, a team who had plenty to play for themselves as they looked to qualify for the playoffs. With Braehead having a night off, it was a great chance to reduce their advantage back to three points at the top of the table.

A welcome return in goal for Josh Unice put a smile on the faces of the travelling fans and hopefully with a regular import netminder back in goal the Steelers could push on and challenge the Clan. Things started well in Hull and after ten minutes and two quick goals from Colton Fretter and Ben O'Connor the Steelers had a two goal cushion. Mathieu Roy and Hull's Jordan Mayer traded goals in the space of just 40 seconds to take the Steelers lead to 3-1 at the end of the first period and it was a well-deserved lead for Gerad Adams and his players.

The Stingrays pulled a goal back in the second period through Sam Towner to make the game 3-2 but that didn't last for long as Tyler Mosienko restored the two goal lead for the Steelers and that is how the second period ended.

The third period was all about one thing, Steelers dominance and the Stingrays simply had no answer as the Steelers ran riot. The Steelers outshot the Stingrays 25-6 in the final period and got their rewards on the scoreboard. Two goals in a minute from Jeff Legue and Mike Forney took the game away from Hull to give the Steelers a 6-2 lead with 15 minutes to play. The Steelers didn't stop there, Colton Fretter, Mathieu Roy and Ben O'Connor all added their second goals of the game to take the Steelers to a 9-2 victory, embarrassing Hull in the final period as the Stingrays simply had no answer to what the Steelers were throwing at them.

With the win in Hull, Braehead's lead was cut back to three points going into Sunday's games where the Steelers travelled to Coventry and the Clan faced Fife at home. Fellow title chasers, the Cardiff Devils were also playing on Sunday, at home to the Belfast Giants.

The Steelers started very quickly in Coventry and went ahead after just over a minute with Mike Forney scoring his 36th goal of the season to give them a one goal lead. The Blaze hit back half way through the period when Derek Lee scored on the powerplay and the game was tied. That is how the first period ended, even on the ice and even on the scoreboard.

Halfway through the second period Mike Forney once again stepped up and delivered for the Steelers to give them a 2-1 lead, scoring on the powerplay. The Steelers had a little more control over the game at this stage and all looked to be going well until towards the end of the second period when the Blaze hit back once again. Jakub Sindel was the man this time and he pulled the Blaze back to tie the game for the second time as the second period drew to a close. However, we weren't done just yet, with less than a minute remaining in the second period Tyler Mosienko scored to restore the lead and the Steelers went into the dressing room after two periods leading 3-2 with a big momentum swinging goal right at the end of the second.

The crucial third period began evenly but it was the Coventry Blaze who began to take over and halfway through the final period they got a reward for their hard work through Steven Chalmers and the game was tied 3-3. The Blaze continued to pile on the pressure and looked the more dangerous going into the final few minutes of the game. With just over three minutes left in the game, disaster struck and the Coventry Blaze found the net to take a 4-3 lead through Derek Lee, who scored his second goal of the game. Just when the Steelers needed a quick response the Blaze put the game to bed with a fifth goal through Jereme Tendler leaving the Steelers two goals behind with just over two minutes left. That is how the game ended and the Blaze took the two points on Sunday night.

Elsewhere the Braehead Clan beat the Fife Flyers 5-2 and the Cardiff Devils beat the Belfast Giants 3-2, both results bad for the Steelers.

The loss on Sunday was a huge dent to title hopes and it seems the title is now Braehead's to lose, they are five points clear and even a win on Wednesday night at Ice Sheffield will only pull the Steelers to three points behind. If the Clan take anything from Wednesday's game then I fear it is all over.

The one thing to take from this weekend has to be how the Coventry Blaze have turned their season around over the past few weeks. They are the one team I don't want the Steelers to face in the playoffs right now and I believe the rest of the league will be thinking the same, the Blaze are genuine dark horses for the playoffs.

Match Report: 11.1.2015 - Blaze v Steelers EC/EIHL

Sunday 11^th January 2015 – Coventry Blaze (12-19-1) v Sheffield Steelers (19-9-2) @ SkyDome Arena. Face-off: 5:15pm, Erhardt Conference/Elite League

Coventry Blaze – 2
Ben Arnt – 1^st PP
Steven Goertzen – 3^rd

Sheffield Steelers – 3
Mathieu Roy – 1^st
Robert Dowd – 1^st
Jeff Legue – 2^nd

A big game at the SkyDome a game in which both teams feel they have to win and it was the visitors who would take the points home after losing their last five league games they owed their fans a big performance and it’s what they gave. After a dominating start by the visitors it was the home side that took the lead while on the man advantage for a Mosienko hooking call assisted by Goertzen who shot the puck it deflected in front of Ice and bounced of Doyle nicely enough for Ben Arnt to slot it into the empty net for a 1-0 lead at 12:12. Sheffield continued to work hard and got their rewards at 17:37 when Fretter had the puck on the left wing and played a cross ice pass to Forney who had the opportunity to shot but he forced Brian Stewart into making a move before playing to Mathieu Roy who re-direct into the open goal for 1-1. It didn’t take Steelers long to take the lead when timed at 19:18 Dowd received the puck of Mosienko before skating onto the blue line before firing a slap shot that came back of Stewart before deflecting off the skate of Mike Egener and into the net to give Sheffield a 2-1 lead which they took into the 1^st Intermission.

End of the 1st Period: Coventry Blaze 1–2 Sheffield Steelers

Shots on Goal: Blaze 6-12 Steelers

Sheffield thought they had scored early on in the 2^nd period when Fretter went close around the goal before Roy fired one against the post and it looked as if Forney had put the rebound in but with Stewart and two blaze skaters also in the goal Hicks couldn’t see the puck and the goal line didn’t come on either so the official announcement was no goal. Sheffield would eventually score a third though and it was while they was on top when Coventry just couldn’t get the puck off them but the goal came at 34:21 when O’Connor got the puck off the draw and managed to get his shot away from the blue line that rebounded off Stewart and it fell nicely for Legue who had the easy job of putting it into an open goal and it was 3-1 to Sheffield as it’s how it stayed going into the second interval.
End of the 2nd Period: Coventry Blaze 1–3 Sheffield Steelers

Shots on Goal: Blaze 10–13 Steelers

Third period got started and the Steelers were just 20 minutes from stopping the poor run in the league and it was almost a perfect session for the visitors as they outshot the home side 14-2, There was a fight early one as Colton Fretter and Steven Goertzen dropped the gloves and both players seem to land some big punches each but it was the Coventry man that got the takedown but Sheffield continued to dominate the session but the only goal of the period came to the home side and due to the lack of action you can probably say Doyle was cold so not 100% into the game with not having much to do but it came about DaCosta jumped out of the box and managed to turn it over and the puck dropped nicely to former Steelers captain Steven Goertzen who fired a wrist shot in front of goal and it was suddenly 3-2 at 58:50. Coventry pulled Stewart in the dying seconds as well as calling a time out but couldn’t find an equaliser and Sheffield held on to win and secure a vital two points and if it wasn’t for Brian Stewart then Sheffield could have had a lot more goals as the Coventry netminder was just outstanding.
Shots on Goal: Blaze 2–14 Steelers

Match Report: 14.12.2014 - Blaze v Steelers EC/EIHL

Sunday 14^th December 2014 – Coventry Blaze (9-13-1) v Sheffield Steelers (16-5-1) @ SkyDome Arena. Face-off: 5:15pm, Erhardt Conference/Elite League

Coventry Blaze – 2
Steven Goertzen – 2^nd PP
Ryan O’Marra – 2^nd

Sheffield Steelers – 4
Tyler Mosienko – 1^st PP
Robert Dowd – 2^nd
Rodney Sarich – 2^nd
Michael Forney – 2^nd PP

The game got underway and it was the home side who attacked first after O’Connor was hit by Venus behind Doyle’s goal it was the Blaze forward who forced an early glove save out of Doyle and it was a Blaze mistake that almost let in Mosienko for the opening goal but the Steelers man struggled to get his shot away in front of goal. Some inconsistency at the back for the visitors almost became a problem for them as Goertzen tipped just wide from in front of Doyle, but an exchange of passes between Mosienko and Phillips ended with the Blaze netminder making a fantastic save to keep the score level. Sheffield got the first power play of the night when Ross Venus was called for illegal equipment it took 9 seconds for the Steelers to get too work when Mosienko found himself in possession behind the Blaze goal he worked his way to slot in at Stewarts left hand near post at 6:54 to give the Steelers a 1-0 lead. Sheffield was having a very dominant session as Blaze just couldn’t get the puck off them. With 10 minutes left in the 1^st Tendler almost found a way back into the game when he caught out Eddy in possession with the puck but Eddy had help in the shape of his captain and Tendler couldn’t win the puck back. Both teams would have an effort on the man advantage but good goaltending ended the period as 1-0 lead for Sheffield.

End of the 1st Period: Coventry Blaze 0–1 Sheffield Steelers

Shots on Goal: Blaze 8-20 Steelers

Sheffield started the second period on the powerplay and before you know it the Blaze had a 5 on 3 powerplay chance and made it count at 22:20 when Doyle couldn’t get a shot covered up and smart play by Goertzen when the Coventry forward jumped on the loose puck and scored on the backhand to level the score at 1-1. There was some physical play by both teams and it was turning into a tasty encounter with plenty of shots on goals and both netminders making some great save but Blaze took the lead at 31:46 when Ross Venus has the puck behind the Steelers goal and he picks out Ryan O’Marra who fires a sweet wrist shot past the stick of Doyle to give the Blaze a 2-1 lead. It didn’t last for long when Sheffield would soon level the game at 2-2 on 33:49 when Forney received the puck from Phillips and skated down the left around a Blaze defender but he saw his shot saved by Stewart from in front and Dowd jumped on the rebound and lifted it over Stewart, then Fretter had the chance to take the lead but saw his shot impressively saved but it was very soon 3-2 to the Steelers on 35:04 after O’Connor fired a snapshot from the blue line and Sarich managed to get the tip on it to send it past Stewart, It was overshadowed by a bad hit by Cescon on Dowd against the boards but the Sheffield man made it back to the bench and was able to continue but Cescon received 2+10 for his troubles. Sheffield went on the powerplay with 4 minutes left in the second and on 36:40 it was 4-2 to the visitors when some hard work by Roy and Fretter they had Stewart beaten on the Ice and Forney slotted the puck in at the back door. Coventry were looking for a way back into the game but Tanaka couldn’t get his shot through the legs of Doyle and the home side were going into the break 4-2 down.
End of the 2nd Period: Coventry Blaze 2–4 Sheffield Steelers

Shots on Goal: Blaze 17–16 Steelers

Third period started and with an exchange in power plays neither team could get any more goals on the boards and there was a lot of neutral zone hockey with both netminders making good saves when called upon. Steelers pressed up high to try and find another goal but had to stop when Coventry started to come looking for a way back into the game and went close several times as Doyle made a leg save when a shot came back of the backboards before Venus was denied from close range. Phillips caught Stewart in the mask from the point and the Blaze netminder had to take a minute to make a repair. With the clock ticking down Coventry pulled Stewart with over two minutes left in an attempt to get back in the game and Sheffield had a glorious chance to finish of the game as Hill went down the right and decided to be a playmaker instead of going for glory and Hay fired a powerful snapshot wide and around the boards. Blaze came again though and got Sheffield camped in their zone but Doyle stood tall and Sheffield held on for the win and the four point weekend to stand at the top of the league by a point.
Shots on Goal: Blaze 10–7 Steelers

Match Report: 29.11.2014 - Blaze v Steelers EC/EIHL

Saturday 29^th November 2014 – Coventry Blaze (8-9-1) v Sheffield Steelers (13-4-0) @ SkyDome Arena. Face-off: 7pm, Erhardt Conference/Elite League

Coventry Blaze – 6
Jereme Tendler (2) – 2^nd, 2^nd PP

Kyle Bochek – 2^nd
Russell Cowley – 2^nd
Steven Goertzen – 3^rd PP

Sheffield Steelers – 2
Robert Dowd – 1^st PP
Michael Forney – 3^rd

The game got underway and Coventry would receive an early powerplay as Phil Hill was called for hooking but Sheffield would keep the home side to the edges and almost went ahead after Sarich saw his shot tipped wide by Phillips after O’Connor’s shot was blocked, Sheffield would kill the penalty and it would be all Sheffield dominating the first session as Brian Stewart was standing on his head against the visitors, Coventry was being massively out shot but went very close to opening the scoring when Ross Venus saw his back hand go just wide of Frank Doyle’s goal but former Steeler Steven Goertzen would get called for tripping and Sheffield would have a go on the man advantage and again it was all Sheffield with the visitors having chance after chances but at 18:09 Sheffield would open the scoring on the man advantage as Mosienko won the face-off to Stewart’s left the puck dropped to Dowd who released a wrist shot to beat the Blaze netminder to give the Steelers a 1-0 lead going into the break.

End of the 1st Period: Coventry Blaze 0–1 Sheffield Steelers

Shots on Goal: Blaze 7-21 Steelers

Coventry came out for the second period all guns blazing and absolutely blitz the visitors as Blaze dumped one in and hard work by Tanaka ended up with him in front but Doyle saved brilliant and again soon after Ashley Tait exchanged passes with Ryan O’Marra he could only shoot into the glove of Doyle but Coventry were soon level when at 24:58 Tendler managed to skate through 1 on 1 with Doyle and he fired a nice back handed shot that went through Doyle for 1-1. They were almost ahead after Sindel found himself all alone in front of goal but he saw his one timer fantastically caught by Doyle. At 28:44 Coventry took the lead when straight off the draw Tanaka managed to get in front of goal and shoot through the five hole of Doyle for 2-1 and it was soon 3-1 at 31:02 when Tanaka was behind the goal before he threw the puck in front of goal for Kyle Bochek to score from close range. It could have been worse for the Steelers as Ben Arnt shot went over Doyle onto the crossbar and back of the goalkeeper before Hay cleared it off the line but in the next attack it was 4-1 at 36:06 when Tanaka showed some great skating before playing a ross ice pass to Cowley who had the whole goal to aim at and the Blaze man put it in off the leg of Doyle, Coventry would then go on the man advantage and it would take them long to make it count when at 37:39 as pass from Tait had Tendler all alone at the back door who finished nicely for his second of the game and Coventry would go into the break 5-1 up after an absolutely dreadful middle session by the visitors.
End of the 2nd Period: Coventry Blaze 5–1 Sheffield Steelers

Shots on Goal: Blaze 16–15 Steelers

Sheffield came into the third trying to find some way back in to the game after they only had themselves to blame for the shambles that was the second period and they started it on the 5 on 3 man advantage and came out fast as Fretter shot was just tipped wide of goal and it was then Fretter who found himself all alone in front of Stewart after O’Connor managed to keep the puck in the zone but he couldn’t get his backhanded shot through Stewart and then Sheffield was called for too many men and Coventry got to work on the man advantage and at 48:13 it was that inspirational captain from last season as Goertzen found himself in possession at the top of the faceoff circle and he fired a sweet wrist shot past Doyle for 6-1. Sheffield would pull another goal back at 53:27 when Forney was at the back door to slot the puck past Stewart with ease and Sheffield did have the puck in the net again after Roy had slotted away a rebound but referee Dean Smith had already blown the whistle when he said Stewart had a puck covered up that he cleared didn’t but it would be a dreadful road game for the Steelers and it doesn’t get any easier as they travel to the reigning champions less than 24 hours later.

Playoff 1/4 1st Leg - Blaze v Steelers: (PO) Game Recap

Saturday 29th March 2013 - Coventry Blaze (0-0-0) v Sheffield Steelers (0-0-0) @ SkyDome Arena. Face off: 7pm

So its that time of the year, playoff hockey where form means nothing going into these games! Blaze v Steelers 1st leg with Sheffield looking for revenge after Coventry knocked them out 12 months prior!!

Mike Zacharias was in goal for the Blaze and Frank Doyle was in goal for the Steelers and unfortunately Mike Hicks was ref. The game started in natural playoff fashion very fast paced and despite the early penalty to Robert Dowd the Steelers wouldn't be able to kill the penalty when on 9:28 Russel Cowley would score a power play assisted by Ryan Ginand and Cale Tanaka which according to report the goal did come against the run of play. There would be further power play for either teams in the 1st but both goaltenders would stand up tall and keep them out. Towards the end of the 1st period though Sheffield forward Jeff Legue suffered a horrible injury after being cross checked in the back and as he hit the ice he was hit in the face by a slap shot fired by Chris Blight, Legue was assisted by both teams medical staff before going to Coventry hospital in which we later found out he had a broken jaw. Into the last minute of the 1st though and a man down on 19:22 the British bulldog Jason Hewitt came up with a massive goal to level the scores assisted by Chad Langlais and Chris Blight and the teams did go in at the end of the 1st level at 1-1.
End of the 1st Period: Coventry Blaze 1-1 Sheffield Steelers
Shots on Goal: Blaze 9-25 Steelers

Second got underway with Sheffield looking the more likely to score next with them massively out shooting the Coventry Blaze. Blaze would get an early power play in the second as Drew Fata was called for tripping but Sheffield would successfully kill it with Frank Doyle making several great saves and then 25:14 Maxime Lacroix stepped up to the plate and score a goal that no one is entirely sure how it went in assisted by Dustin Kohn and Steven Goertzen and that put Sheffield in the driving seat at 2-1. At the half way stage of the game Coventry would be level on 30:51 after Gerome Giudice assisted by Kelsey Wilson and Michael Devin but that would only spur on the Steelers as captain Steven Goertzen would lead by example when 32:08 Goertzen drove at the net and scoring to make it 3-2 assisted by Jonathan Phillips and Chad Langlais and Coventry would have a power play opportunity but wouldn't be able to figure out a way past Frank Doyle and Sheffield would kill the power play successfully and take a 3-2 lead in the second break.
End of the 2nd Period: Coventry Blaze 2-3 Sheffield Steelers
Shots on Goal: Blaze 10-8 Steelers

With Sheffield 3-2 up and 20 minutes left of the 1st leg Coventry was looking for a way past Frank Doyle and probably the best save of the game which saw Frank Doyle fantastically save of Henrich (one of them) but Blaze would be going up against a very good defence and goaltender, Coventry would gift Sheffield with a third power play as Giudice went for high sticking but Coventry would make it 3 for 3 on the penalty kill as Zacharias was keeping the Steelers out well on this period, Blaze would call a time out at 58:52 but wouldn't be able to level the game and will be travelling to Sheffield on Tuesday a goal down.
Shots on Goal: Blaze 10-13 Steelers
