Klippers 2 - Hoffman, Dworschak
Bombers 4 - Penner, Storzuk, Roper, McCombie
Random Notes From Saturdays Game
- First off Fraser Abdallah played very good for the Klippers in his debut. He stopped 41 shots some of which were highway robbery. He was good with the glove and very quick from side to side. Kindersley still remains with 3 goaltenders on the roster, the performance by Abdallah certainly makes things interesting moving forward.
- Kindersley worked really hard over the weekend which makes it more disappointing that they came away with no points. They had a very good opportunity to tie the game up late on Saturday night. They were buzzing in the final few minutes, ended up drawing a penalty with a minute forty remaining and had a 6 on 4 chance to knot the game. McGrath feathered a pass back door to Bosovich who had a yawning cage to shoot at but the puck took an unfriendly bounce and skipped over top his stick. The Bombers would then add insurance shortly after with an empty netter.
- Kindersley was short handed on Saturday night as they only had 11 forwards. Rebkowich was injured Friday night and was unable to go Saturday forcing the Klippers to rotate 3 centers. Flin Flon was working extremely hard and I am sure that took a bit of a tole on the Klippers up front.
- A side note on Rebkowich, it sounds like he has left the Klippers. His shoulder injury was more serious than he thought it was going to be and would likely sideline him for a significant portion of the season. Due to that he has elected to head home. Hope to get more on this shortly.
- On the injury front, it looks like Wasden will not be available until after Thanksgiving and will miss the game in Humboldt. As for Duzan, Elliot and Letourneau they are day to day and may be back on Wednesday.
- Kindersley has now lost 3 games in a row but in my mind its not a cause for concern. I really feel the team is close to coming together. It has taken a bit of time to find consistency but as a young team I fell they are close.
- Although the club didn't come back from Flin Flon with any points, I feel this road trip will serve as a great benefit for the club. With alot of new players on the roster getting out on the teams 1st lengthy road trip should help with team chemistry.
- In terms of the Bombers I was very impressed with their squad. Both games were very exciting contests and the Bombers seemed to feed off the home crowd. They work hard, have a good balance of size and skill up front and appear to have 2 quality goaltenders. Mike Reagan has done a good job assembling his squad which is also a very young hockey team.
- Next up for Kindersley is this Wednesday in Humboldt. It will be a very stiff test for Kindersley but if they can beat the Broncos that would be a huge confidence booster for the club heading into the Thanksgiving long weekend.
