Steelers thrash Blaze to get final POFW spot...


Play-off finals weekend is just one day away and the climax of the EIHL season is to be a big one! Its a different final 4 to what most would've expected back in September! Sheffield Steelers, on Tuesday, got to the big weekend for the first time since 2011 in great fashion wiping out Coventry Blaze 9-3 on aggregate! They'd won the first leg at the Skydome in Coventry then returned to the house of steel to dominate Blaze 6-1 on the night!

Blaze eliminated steelers last season in the quarter finals so this year was a case of payback and oh boy, did they get it! Two goals for Dustin Kohn and Maxime Lacroix were a big help in this game especially and Danny Meyers/Robert Dowd! Ross Venus got one for Blaze late on but it was too little, too late and Blaze weren't to make this years climax but steelers will!
