New Look Steelers

The Steelers had a new look line up on Tuesday as they took to the ice against The Fat Boys. The last time these two teams played the Steelers blew a 5 goal lead in the 3rd period. Nothing like that happened this time around.

Coach Lindsay brought out former QMJHL standout goaltender Marc Andre (Fluery???) and number one goalie Durigon took the pads off to join the forwards up front on a night that the team was a bit light on the bench.

The Steelers started quickly with a good scoring chance coming from none other than coach Lindsay who was sent in on a break away by Mike Didulka in the very first minute. Lindsay's shot just went off the goalie's trapper and trickled wide. It turned out to be the Steelers best chance of the period. The Fat Boys opened the scoring in the first on a bit of a scramble in front of goaltender Marc Andre. The Steelers tied it early in the 2nd as Mike Didulka notched one from Kevin Neild and Lindsay. The Fat Boys got that one back just before the 2nd period was over. It stayed that way throughout the third, a period that saw the Steelers kill off 3 consecutive penalties and a period that saw K-Man (Kevin for those who don't know) skate around like a race-horse (with blinders unable to see peripherally his wide open team mates), until with only 46 seconds left, Durigon took a nifty feed from Larry Romanuik who hustled in behind the Fat Boys net and stole the puck and Durigon buried it in Pavel Datsyuk-like fashion for his first of the year. Mark Lee also drew an assist on the tying goal.

Overtime solved nothing (other than some confusion about what happens in OT when a guy comes out of the penalty box - I won't get into that).
