Flin Flon - 7
Klippers - 5
The Klippers may have fell short but I thought they showed a ton of fight tonight. They got down early 2-0 and could of packed it in and said oh well we will get them tomorrow night. That was not the case as they stormed back and generated a lead of their own. The Klippers appeared to be in control of the game after Austin McDonald ripped home his 1st SJHL marker but unfortunately for the club an unlikely breakout bounce resulted in the Bombers tieing the hockey game. David Haaf tried a reverse that ended up sailing up the half boards. Their was no winger on that side which resulted in the puck going right to Cameron Blair who sniped a quick shot home that somewhat fooled Justin McDonald. Shortly after a fight between Gedney and Litke broke out. It was an even fight but it appeared that it may have shifted the momentum in Flin Flons favor as they would score the contests next two goals. Kindersley though once again was able to claw their way back when Troy Gedny riffled home his first as a Klipper with a perfectly placed wrist shot. Gedny also scored the Klippers 5th goal to make things interesting late. Kindersley pulled the goaltender but couldn't capitalize on a couple good chances in front that resulted in Jay Young scoring an empty netter. It was a back and forth sea saw affair that in my mind could of went either way.
Despite the lose for Kindersley their is a ton of positives the club can take into tomorrow nights game. Their powerplay looked solid scoring twice on only 3 man advantages. Their penalty kill was also very good killing off 4 of 5 attempts. I think if Kindersley had another powerplay or two they might have won the contest.
Another positive was they competed hard without a few of their top vets. Not having Taylor Wasden, Taylor Duzan and Ryan Elliot up front made things alot tougher but the forwards played well. Brennen Bosovich showed glimpses that he can be a dynamic player in the SJHL. His two assists were a thing of beauty.
Jesse Mysiorek had a huge game tonight for Kindersley. He was hitting hard, going to the tough areas which would also lead to him scoring the teams first goal, and overall had a very solid hockey game. It seems like Mysiorek flourishes in a high tempo physical game like the one that was on display tonight.
Kindersley certainly could have won tonight but they will have to play a better defensive game tomorrow night. They had no answer for the Young, Balaski and Storzuk line which combined for 10 points. Alot of people may look at the SJHL scoring race and say who is Jay Young? The secret is out, this guy is a beast and is going to continue to put up big numbers this season. Kindersley will need to limit Young and his line mates tomorrow night to win.
The atmosphere at the Whitney Forum tonight was awesome. Great to play,watch and call a hockey game. Tomorrow night should be even better after a close fought game that seen some bad blood. Kindersley will be hungry to get the 2 points or else it will be a long bus ride home.
A quick note that Fraser Abdallah will start in net for the Klippers. This will be his first start of the season. He has been working hard, waiting for his chance and tomorrow night he will get it.
I have interviews with Bosovich, Gedny, Mysiorek and Morin I want to get up either tonight or early tomorrow morning so check back for more shortly.
