Idaho Steelheads Staying Alive!

The Idaho Steelheads refused to go down in four straight games in their ECHL playoff series against the Tulsa Oilers posting a 4-2 win Wednesday night at Century Link Arena.

The Oilers lead that series 3 games to 1 despite the loss but Idaho has at least forced a game 5 Friday night on Boise ice. If the Steelheads win game 5 the series would head back to Tulsa for game 6 Sunday and if needed, game 7 Monday.

Idaho's A.J. White set the tone early as he scored just 1:57 into the game to give Idaho a 1-0 lead and by the end of the first period the Steelheads led 3-0.

Recovering from an 0-3 deficit against a team like Tulsa would take your basic miracle on ice but it's not like Tulsa dominated the first three games. Currently the series goal total is 9-6 Tulsa, the two teams evenly matched but certainly the Oilers have the advantage if things do go 7 games because two of the three remaining games would be in Tulsa.

Be listening Friday morning between 8am and 9am during the Dan Patrick show on sports radio 630 The Fan as we have two pair of tickets to give away. Just listen for the cue to call.
