Klippers Win 4-2 In Melville

Big win on the road for the Klippers. Alot of players stepped it up tonight with all the players out of the lineup.

Here are some short game note tidbits.

- For only dressing 5 dmen , they did not look tired. Larry`s conditoning showed tonight. All 5 D Men looked great out there.

- Beau Taylor scored up front on the first line. Overall he did pretty good. He had a ton of chances , probably could of had a hatty.
- Scott Hellyer had a great bounce back game after a tough one in La Ronge, made some huge saves in traffic in the third period.

- Ryan Benn scored the game winner. I talked about players steping up and he was one of them. It was his first game of the season and he made the most of it.

- Sean Flanagan was great all night. I dont think I seen him make a mistake all night.

- Taylor Duzan was the best player on the ice tonight. He had 2 goals but was huge all game. On the penalty kill , he was fantasic alongside Jordan Hoffman. These two basically held the play in the Mellville zone for the most part on the PK.

- On Hoffman , he was great as well. Exceptional on the draw to, I dont think he lost a faceoff all night

- Overall the Klippers PK was great , which is a good sign since they struggled on the PK to start the year.

- Riley Long made his SJHL debut tonight. He didnt get a ton of action due to 13 fwds dressed. I thought he played good , and didnt look out of place.

- Johnny Calkins and Braden Adamyk played well out there. You could tell it was an emotional one for them without there good friend and line mate.

- Speaking of Adamyk , he is now leading the SJHL in points.

- Jeff Bartel , this kid continues to impress me every game. Looks more and more comfortable each game.

- Melville has alot of young talent, they should be one of the teams to beat in the SJHL the next few years. It is clearly a rebuilding year this season.

- On tomorows game I have talked to alot of the vets, and they are pumped to play Yorkton tommorow and get revenge for last seasons playoff loss.

- As for Andrew Dommett, Calkins informed the boys that he has returned home from the hospital. That is great news.

Thats it for tonight , I will have more tommorow when I post up some interviews
