The Swan Valley Stampeders finally found a way back into their best-of-seven, semifinal series against the Steinbach Pistons Wednesday night, winning 4-3 in double-overtime.
The Game 4 win was a huge relief for everyone involved and proved that the Stampeders haven’t given up. This series has been wild from the start, with three of the four games going to double-overtime and, with that amount of hockey, it will start to take a toll on the body and mind moving forward.
Going down 3-0 in a best-of-seven series isn’t ideal but, let’s be clear, those games could have went either way and this series could be 2-2 or 3-1 in Swan’s favour. Regardless, the Stampeders will have their backs against the wall again tonight in Game 5.
As the Stampeders continue to play the game that has brought them success throughout the regular season and into the playoffs, they will again need a full 60-minute team effort in Steinbach to keep their playoff hopes alive and force a Game 6 in Swan River Monday night.
