Klippers Win Back To Back Games With 3-2 Shootout Victory

Game Notes:



- This was the best team effort I seen Kindersley bring all season. Everyone on the team was working their bags off last night from start to finish and in the end they were rewarded with a victory.

- The game needed extra time and a shootout. In the shootout Bosovich got the ball going first with a goal for Kindersley. Olson tied it up on the Bruins 2nd shot putting the pressure back on the Klippers. A glimpse of the future was then on display for the Klippers as 17 year old rookie Colby Daniels walked in and riffled one past Tendler to retake the shootout lead. It all came down to Dylan Smith against his former teammate Brandon Stone. Stone stopped him to pick up his 2nd straight win in a Klippers uniform. It had to feel extra special for the youngster against the team that traded him only a few days prior.

- The forth line of Taylor Wasden, Travis Geislinger and Bradley Buckingham might have been the most effective line for the Klippers on the evening. Wasden had a big fight in the 2nd period to kind of slow down the Bruins momentum after he took it to Soper. The line was getting rewarded for their efforts late in the 3rd period and they would make the most of those opportunities. Taylor Wasden threw a centering pass out in front, it went off a stick and into the back of the net. I had thought it hit a Bruin defenders stick at 1st but the official goal got credited to Brad Buckingham. Either way I don't think the 3 of them really care who scored, they all picked up a well deserved point on the play.

- Kindersley won last nights contest without two of their best players in Taylor Duzan and Jordon Hoffman. You could see a number of players step up making the most of there opportunities. With Hoffman being traded today, the young players will need to continue to do this for Kindersley to have a shot at the playoffs.

- I feel this might be the best time for Kindersley to hit the road again. They are going to get down to numbers before the road stand, which means it will be a chance for a team to bond together that will most likely stick together for the most part, for the remainder of the season. They have some confidence after back to back wins and could surprise a few teams this weekend.
