LINDSAY LEADS STEELERS TO WIN FROM ANYWHERE

On a night when the roads were snow covered and the start time was making it's way towards mid-night, Steeler management wasn't quite sure of what the line-up would look like until the drop of the puck. If the past few weeks were going to be indicative of last minute no-shows, the Steelers could have been in for a very depleted line-up. But this week was different, in fact, everyone of the 10 skaters that had committed to show…actually showed up! Well done boys! The line up decisions were once again difficult this night as all season there really hasn't been a consistent turn out leading to different line combinations game after game. Well, after this game, the Steelers may have set up their line-up for the rest of the season. Prior to the game Coach Lindsay and GM Durigon were creating with the line up and when it came to where to play Coach Lindsay, the Coach simply said…"Ah, I don't care, I'll score from anywhere". A pretty cocky statement from a guy who has seen the back of the net since Santa came to town. But on this night Coach Lindsay stepped it up, notching not one, but two goals on his first shift of the game and handing the Steelers a lead that they would not relinquish. In fact, Lindsay got credited with the Steelers 5th goal (but the league is reviewing that one again as Carvahlo was seen going top shelf on a rebound in front on the net on that one) and added 2 assists. It was Lindsay's first 5 point night as a member of the Steelers (Ok, I didn't really look that up, but I'm pretty freakin' sure I'm right). Now beyond Lindsay, the rest of the line including Didulka and Warkentin were on fire and the rest of the team played very solid in front of Pouliot who once again came up with some big saves. Other big scorers included Larry Romaniuk who had 3 points and Warkentin and Didulka each had 2 as the team filled the net against the Rexdalians in a 6-3 win.

Scoring Summary:

Lindsay G 3 (5) A 2 (7)
Romaniuk G 1 (3) A 2 (11)
Warkentin G 1 (9) A 1 (7)
Didulka G 1 (3) A 1 (3)
Durigon G 0 A 1 (6)
Carvahlo G 0 A 1 (6)
