Goals and assists
Sheffield Steelers' hopes of a Grand Slam in 2023/24 are still
very much alive after a convincing Quarter-Final series win over Fife
fFyers.
Heading up to Kirkcaldy with a 9-4 aggregate lead, the
Steelers were always going to be favourites for the tie. They edged
further ahead with goals six minutes apart from Kevin Tansey and Mikko
Juusola to end the opening period two up on the night.
Marc-Olivier
Vallerand made it three 9:24 into period two as the visitors - icing
Anthony Morrone and down three skaters, were in complete control.
Colin
Shirley gave the good crowd in Fife something to cheer about with the
Flyers' only goal of the game with 5:33 to go, but Brett Neumann raced
through to beat Owen to give the Steelers the last laugh with 48 seconds
remaining.
The Steelers advanced 13-5 on aggregate, though Flyers
fans left with smiles on their faces after Tom Coolen announced his
contract extension on the ice to a raucous reception.
