Today was the most important game of the season for the Steelers. A win would keep them in the game for the finals. The match started with big pressure from the visitors, but goalie Saunders managed to keep a clean sheet in the first 20 minutes despite some big opportunities by Italians. In the second period the home team scored twice and after 40 minutes of play it looked good for the home team. Then came the 10th minute of the last period. Ritten managed to equalize and it took them only three minutes. After 60 minutes we had no winner, so the game went to overtime. Frei managed to shoot the puck and no one knew if the puck crossed the goal line or not. So the judges took a look at the screen and the goal was good. Ritten went to the finals.
