All things considered, this was a pretty solid effort against the division leading Alumina squad, a team that is now sporting a 9-2-1 record. Both teams threw the book away when it came to tight checking defensive hockey and that made for a pretty entertaining game (even from a fans perspective).
The Steelers welcomed Justin Warkentin back to the line up and that certainly seemed to boost the offence as J-Man accounted for 2 goals and added an assist. K-Man continued his impressive play (I can't believe I'm typing this) with his own two goal and one assist performance (web-site shows only one goal, but that's being changed [sorry Larry]). Mike Didulka also scored one (and could have iced it in the third if he wouldn't have rang one off the post on a break away - oh well - can't get down on the team's leading scorer too much). Marco Jones also scored on a beautiful break away after stepping out of the penalty box, a familiar spot for the tough defenseman (also earned him room key duties for next game).
With a Steelers holding a 6-4 lead late in the third, the spirit of the Maple Leafs seemed to take over and there went another 3rd period lead.
Overtime solved nothing.
Great game though boys!
