The Steelers coming off a strong effort last Tuesday were looking forward to ending their losing streak against the Rexdalians who had won the previous two contests the teams played this year. The team was without Anthony Lam and Marc Beausejour for the contest. It was a close match from the get go with both teams feeling each other out, not wanting to make the first mistake. It stayed that way until mid-way through the 2nd period the first mistake was made and it was a doozy. This reporter never likes to call out a player when something goes wrong so we won't. It appeared that #13 failed to control a simple pass to the point and panicked when he felt the pressure of a Rexdalian player coming towards him. As he went to blindly pass the puck behind his back to his defense partner, the Rexdalian forward intercepted the pass and went down beating Pouliot after he made a terrific first save.
The Rexdalians scored another in the third period to lift their lead to 2 - a lead that most Leaf fans would admit is far from safe even in the third period, but the Steelers weren't playing the Leafs on this night. Despite a spirited effort which included a K-Man goal and some good opportunities with Pouliot pulled, the Steelers couldn't snap the losing streak they have against the Rexdalians.
Scoring summary:
Neild G 1 (6) A 0
