- Kindersleys playoff hopes took a large hit last night in my mind. It was essentially a must win game against a beatable Hawks team that was without alot of firepower due to injures. Kindersley still isn't mathematically eliminated from the post season but in my mind making the playoffs at this point may be a pipe dream.
- I expected Kindersley to come out with a ton of jump after the thrashing they took on home ice Saturday night, but that wasn't the case. They got down early, and essentially ten minutes into the 1st period they were out of it.
- We have to expect games like last night from this young Klipper squad, but I was a little upset by their compete level. If it was 7-1, and every player on the team was throwing bodies, for checking hard, going to the tough areas then I wouldn't be as disappointed by last nights result.
- Wheaton King scored a goal and two assists last night against his former team. He played with alot of jump and seemed to really spark the Hawks offense.
- Alex Laird made his Klipper debut. It was a tough game to anayze his play in, but overall I thought he was one of the better Klipper forwards. He can surely skate like the wind.
- Tanner Kissick got hit to the head in the 2nd period. Their were two officials on the ice and they both missed a clear head shot that forced Kissick to miss the rest of the game. No word yet on the extent of the injury, but I have no idea how that head shot was missed.
- Kindersley will play host to Nipawin on Saturday at the WCEC. I expect the players to give the fans a better effort then we seen last Saturday.
I think you are right on Ullsy. If there was one thing you could say about these young players was that they would at least put in an effort for 60 minutes, but the last two games with only 30 shots and two goals that certainly isn't the case. I also don't think they really have a chance of making the playoffs, especially when you look at there schedule, it's all the tough southern teams.
ReplyDeleteWith regards Kissick's hit to the head, Byblow that's all you really have to say, one of the worst officials i have ever seen.
