No Tansey tonight according to Simms.

Janatuinen warmed up. Micelli and Ulrick in lineup.

And another game for Greenfield. Really hope we don’t regret loading him up with games, when both our nearest rivals are rotating their goalies.

#37 Grant Hebert called for Cross Checking.

Actually as I saw it. It was a cross check to the shoulders that slid up onto the neck and head but it was the fist holding the stick that hit him not the stick itself. Poor play either way and 5+game is surely the correct penalty.

As expected,a lot of dirty plays from the Storm even more than usual with no Tansey to police it. Until we get refs that call the dirty plays games will get out of control. The Steelers will be seething at the moment and could explode.
Was a dangerous charge on sauce not called then both refs did not initially call what turned out into the 5 plus game.
