Up to this point it has been a very positive 4 game home stand for the Kindersley Klippers. It started out with a tough loss to Melfort, but more recently seen Kindersley take back to back games for the 1st time this year. If the Klippers lose tonight then it makes the home stand look sub par but if they win it will be a big success. With 3 tough road games this weekend it will be important for Kindersley to end the home stand with a positive.
In terms of La Ronge the last time they were here in Kindersley they got blown out by a score of 7-1. Since then they have been a much improved club and are currently 2 games below .500. They had a chance to get to the .500 mark last night out in Battlefords but were dropped 1-0. I expect the Wolves to be extra hungry for a split on the road trip to set themselves up nicely for the rematch back at their home barn this Friday.
Kindersley will be once again without the services of D Jay McGrath, Tanner Kissick and Brennen Bosovich. McGrath and Kissick sound like they are making good progress and could be ready for some point this weekend on the road trip. Bosovich is still a few weeks away from returning.
A few Klippers are riding high right now which is a good sign for the club. David Haaf and Jesse Mysiorek are the first two that come to mind and I would expect them to continue their recent dominance moving forward. In terms of Mysiorek I have no idea how he wasnt even an honorable mention for player of the week, but props to David Haaf for taking home the SJHL defender of the week.
The lineup up front tonight I would assume would be the same as the previous game for Kindersley. In terms of the D, not sure who will be in and out. In net its also up in the air as to who will get the start, one things forsure is I am sure we will see both goalies this weekend on the 3 game road trip.
For tonight's webcast I will not be calling the 1st period but the webcast will still be up and running. I will be doing a live on location at the rink from 4-8 PM tonight for the Klippers truck lotto and will jump into the broadcast booth for the 2nd period. I will have a chance to watch the first period action so I should have a idea of whats happened prior to jumping in. Feel free to buy a ticket while I am on duty to make my sales skills look half decent! You can call 1-866-770-5633 to get a ticket.
Puck drop is 7:30 at the WCEC.
that was a great game for both teams, the klippers had some great chances but the ice wolves goalie stood on his head, duzzy had about 10 chances i seen tonight hes going to go on a scary tear soon, abdalla had a great game as well just need a better atmosphere very quiet kind of dissapointing concidering how well they played.
