After La ronge beat Kindersley on Wednesday there was a bit of a scrum following the game. That bad blood carried over into La Ronge, as all hell would break loose only 40 seconds into the contest. Jordon Hoffman was trying to line up Eisenbrenner in the corner deep in Kindersley territory. He ended up checking him into the boars from behind. It was certainly a penalty, but after watching the replay Hoffman lets up on him a bit and it could of been worse. After the hit, Hoffman was cross checked right in the face by McNevin and he was down in a heap, bleeding. After that 3 fights broke loose on the ice resulting in a number of players getting the boot. For Kindersley Manhas and Lund were in the middle of it and were both tossed. For La Ronge, McNevin and Hope hit the showers early. Now I know the refs were in tough with what happened so early in the game but they ended up giving Hoffman a 5 minute major for fighting and a game misconduct. Hoffman didn't throw a punch as he was down on the ice from the cross check. Out of all that Kindersely would get a 5 minute penalty, and loose 3 of their players. Kindersley was also upset because Enns was in the scuffle and never got ejected from the game. The Wolves could also make a case for Zane Morin on Kindersleys side as he was in the scrum to. Overall I thought it should of been evened up considering the cross check to Hoffmans face but the decision was made and Kindersley was forced to kill off a 5 minute penalty.
Kindersley killed off the entire 5 minutes thanks to some good defensive play and some very solid goaltending from Justin McDonald. McDonald was the Klippers best player on the night, making save after save. It was a great bounce back performance for the netminder and I am sure it will be a sign of things to come. He faced a ton of rubber, and really was the only reason the Wolves didn’t have a 1 or 2 goal lead after all their powerplay time in the 1st. Kindersley had to kill off 11 minutes of penalties in the first including a partial 5 on 3. They somehow were able to not allow a go, and after all the penalties were killed off, they got their legs going. They had a few good chances back on the other side but Rajotte stood tall. The Wolves would get one even strength late in the frame on a rebound put away by Tran to head to the room up by 1.
Kindersley battled back in the second and scored the equalizer early off the stick of Taylor Duzan. It was a great passing play by McGrath and Mysiorek that found Duzan wide open streaking to the net to tie the hockey game. It appeared as if the momentum was going to shift for Kindersley but that wasn’t the case as the Wolves took back the lead under a minute later on a goal by Either. That really was a big time dagger for Kindersley and took the life out of them. The rest of the way through La Ronge started to pour it on and Kindersley looked tired. They would add another before the period was over from Smerer. The third period was pretty lacklustre and Kindersley couldn’t generate enough offense for the comeback and would fall by a final of 3-1.
Going back to the scrum, Lund and Manhas are both getting a one game suspension and won’t play tonight. Both of those players have become key guys and will be tough loses for tonight. Jordon Hoffman gave us a scare but it sounds like he is ok. He won’t play tonight but the Klippers will take him day by day. It was a very tough test for Kindersley to start off the road swing out in La Ronge. The Ice Wolves have certainly found their game and are climbing up the Bauer Standings. Kindersley will look to regroup tonight back in Nipawin in which will be another very tough hockey game. Things got pretty wild back in K Town last weekend and I anticipate the Hawks being a much stiffer test on home ice. I will tweet some line up notes prior to the game in terms of who is in and who is out. Be sure to tune in to tonight’s radio broadcast which will get going at 7:15 with your pregame show.
