Your post game report is brought to you by....
Kindersley played a very solid game in my mind but in the end they had no answer for Alex Rajotte. He was superb on the night for the Wolves. La Ronge got things going early in the 1st frame on a bad defensive zone breakdown that resulted in a back door finish by Jared Iron. After that it became a goaltenders clinic with both Alex Rajotte and Fraser Abdallah coming up huge for their hockey clubs. Neither team scored in the second period and both tenders were tested with a break away opportunity. The biggest save on the night though went to Rajotte off of Travis Geislinger. He was left unprotected in front as he tried to rip one top corner, but Rajotte quickly snatched it out of the air with a ridiculous glove save.
The next marker didn't come until the third period at the 6:15 mark when Enns made a nice move and an even better pass to spot Hladun wide open in front and he did the rest to make it 2-0 Wolves. Kindersley had a ton of chances but had no answer for Rajotte until Jesse Mysiorek said enough is enough and blasted one past Rajotte to cut the deficit to 1. Mysiorek hammered that puck and made sure Rajotte had no chance at stopping it. In the post game interview below Rockie Zinger really eluded to his team needing to bare down and used Mysiorek as an example with his goal. Rockie was bang on their, Kindersley had some chances, Rajotte played great but they also made things easy for him.
The Klippers powerplay really struggled last night going 0/5 and could of been the difference if they were able to capitalize. Not haveing Bosovich working the powerplay has forced Kindersely to have to switch things up as they look for a consistent balance on the man advantage.
Taylor Duzan continues to look great after returning from injury. He had a number of really good scoring chances that he more than often would have scored but Rajotte had his number on the night. Jesse Mysiorek continues to impress, his goal showcased exactly what kind of player he is and his confidence in his abilities right now are sky high.
In terms of the road trip, Kindersley will look back and likely regret not winning 3 or all 4 of the games. They certainly could of took down Melfort and last night I thought they were the better team once again. Despite only splitting the homstand I think overall it was the best span of games the Klippers have put together so far this season. They are starting to come together and should only improve once they get Kissick, McGrath and Bosovich back in the lineup.
It was a bit of a heated affair and got chippy late in the third period. It should be a high intensity rematch on Friday night back in La Ronge.
Post game interview to be updated shortly.
