Sheffield Steelers 7 - 0 Dundee Stars
The Sheffield Steelers dominated the Dundee Stars for the 2nd time in a week. This time winning 7-0, one better than their victory in Scotland last Sunday.
Joey Talbot put the Steelers in front at 6.44, tipping in a Jeff Legue shot. He should have scored a minute earlier on the powerplay but his stick broke and the puck went nowhere. Robert Dowd lifted a backhand shot into the roof of the net at 12.23 and Jonathan Phillips rounded off the 1st period scoring with a solo effort at 14.39. The Steelers’ captain carried the puck from his own defensive zone up the middle of the ice, ignored his options left and right and rifled a shot into the top corner from just inside the blue line.
Dundee did have their moments in the first period but didn’t have the luck. Ervins Mustukovs made a smart save from John Dolan’s close range shot and Dan Ceman had the puck in the net only for it to be ruled out for being kicked in. Doubly unfortunate this for the Stars as the puck had rebounded to him off the crossbar after Mustukovs had been well beaten. Had Dundee scored at this time the score would’ve been 1-1 and the game could’ve been very different. As it happens, this contest followed the same pattern as last week – a 3-0 first period followed by a 2-0 second period.
Ben Simon got his name on the score sheet at 22.03 after he was sent clear by Jerramie Domish. He deked left-right-left before slipping the puck through Jerad Kaufmann’s legs. 4-0 didn’t become 5-0 until 39.12 when great work from Dowd set up Jason Hewitt. The shot wasn’t the hardest of the night and it would be the last one Kaufmann faced. He was pulled in the period break for Mark McGill but the record should show that he made some fine stops in the 2nd but the weak one finding its way through his pads was the last straw.
Kevin Bolibruck notched his first of the season with a 4-on-4 goal at 54.40. His slapshot came after new signing Rob Globke had fed him the puck from the offensive zone faceoff. Jeff Legue completed the scoring at 59.03, ensuring the Steelers went one better than last week’s 6 goal margin, a powerplay goal from a nice Talbot assist.
Dundee had the better of all three fights on the night, Mark Nebus, Steve Makway and Sean McMorrow all landing the telling blows. The last two fights came inside the final two minutes and too late to affect the game. Nebus drew an instigator penalty from Steve Munn and the Steelers’ D-man would spend 19 minutes in the box as his infringements were all tallied up. With Rod Sarich missing Sheffield had to rotate 3 defencemen for pretty much a full period but Dundee weren’t good enough to take advantage. Sheffield dominated in all areas of the ice and fully deserved to win by the margin they did.
After 13 goals without reply Dundee can be thankful that they don’t play the Steelers again until October.
