GAME THREAD: FINAL, FINAL. Panthers v. Steelers. Sun 2nd May.

Steelers lucky to get away with a couple of boarding hits.

Mikyska draws a hooking penalty by showing his nice hands. Amusingly it’s Hook for Hooking.

A better second period. Notts have this won though no problem.

2nd ends 2-0.

Marginally better but Panthers still well in control of the game, Steelers not laying a glove on them. Still 20mins to play & 2 goals is more than doable with 1.55 PP with this team but something needs to change, and fast, I don’t see that happening.

Refs letting a lot go but in equal measure, temperature of the game rising a little.

Much better period. Eberle and Dowd driving the team physically (along with Jones), and funnily enough Jones and Beaudry creating offence.
Connolly, and especially Olden, continue to be very poor.
We were playing much more desperate there, we were unlucky not to get at least one goal. Upping the physicality helped big time.
Was strange how a high stick on Myers not called, but Beaudry one was.

Olden is back to his, floating about the ice taking a night off style again, unforgivable for such a talented player IMO..

Frustrating as we all know we’ve not seen half of what he’s capable of for the most part.

Here we go for what could be the last period of the Elite Series unless we find 3 goals.

Steelers goal! Mikyska sits a few Panthers down with incredible composure & Dowd taps in a rebound. Life in this yet?.

2-1.

Olden mopes around the zone, is stripped and Kirk has to bail us out.
