Well we arrived late last night in Flin Flon after a very long bus ride. Overall I did enjoy the bus ride as the boys picked 3 movies I had not seen. I dont get a chance to watch a ton of movies so that was good.
Anyways the Klippers had a morning skate this morning. Larry worked his magic to make this happen. He has a lot of respect from the people in Flin Flon for the work he did with the club when he was the coach here.
The Klippers skated for about an hour this morning , nothing vigerous , mainly 3 on 2s and breakouts to help get the players ust to their new linemates and work off the rust from the long bus trip.
At the end they had a bit of fun with a shootout elimination.
The fnal 3 came down to Duzan , Mysiorek and Sonntag. Sonntag ended up being the winner , pulling off 3 very nice dekes for the title. For a big dman he has some quick hands.
As for the game tonight , I can confirm that Scotty Hellyer will start in net.
The Klippers top 3 lines will be
Admayk - Calkins - Hoffman
Mysiroek - McGrath - Duzan
Taylor - King - Exner
the fourth line will be 3 of . Wasden , Penner , Gerwing , Gourley , Benn , Kissick
As far as the game goes , the home crowd should be a big factor. The way the Whitney forum is layed out , the fans are right in the action. I really like the style of this arena. Its a very old barn , but one you want to play and watch hockey in.
Flin Flon and Kindersley both have been struggling on there penalty kills. Klippers are 11th in the SJHL and FF is 10th.
Klippers have really been working on there special teams this week at practice. If there powerplay is clicking tonight , I say they should win this game.
Flin Flon is 5-5 coming off a lose to Estevan , while the Klippers are 5-3 coming off a lose to La Ronge.
I will have more come game time. Reminder that we wont be broadcasting the first and likely all of the second period tonight due to MLB Baseball playoffs on Classic Hits Radio. I will be doing live updates until the game ends. Hopefully we see a pitchers duo and the game ends early. I will call likely all of the 3rd period so make sure you still tune in even if the baseball is on for the time being.
Saturdays game is good to go , we will have all the action with pregame at 715
Update , here is the Klippers lineup
Hoffman - Calkins - Adamyk
Mysiorek - McGrath - Duzan
Taylor - King - Exner
Gourley - Penner - Gerwing
Flanagan - Leedahl
Sonntag - Down
Tabin - Haaf
Hellyer
Mcdonald
