Weekend Recap

A little late with the post game report but better late then never!


Your post game report is brought to you by....







- What an exciting game it was on Friday night. Both teams played hard and exchanged chances back and forth all night long.

- Kindersley comes up with a point against a very good Broncos squad. Kindersley will look back at that game and be upset with themselves for giving up a 2 goal lead, but battling back late in the 3rd to tie things up was huge and I am sure at the end of the day the Klippers will take the one point.

- Humboldt's 2nd goal was questionable as Lawrence hammered it home right at the buzzer. Really in my mind the call could of went either way, their really was no way to 100% tell if it crossed the line or didn't without video replay. The ref though had to make a call and he felt he seen the puck go in before the sound of the buzzer and that goal would give the Broncos a big boost heading into the 3rd.

- Kindersley sure is an exciting team to watch with all their players back in the lineup. It was a long time since we seen the team near 100% healthy.

- Down the middle the Klippers are strong. Hoffman, King, Bosovich and McGrath were the 4 centers on Friday night and you could really see what having depth down the middle does to a hockey team. It will be tough to figure out who moves to the wing when Kissick gets back. Alot of you would say McGrath since he has played their most of the season, but I don't know if that's a good idea. McGrath has played his best hockey since moving to the middle, he is money in the faceoff circle, and he can play solid defensively in his own end. It will be a tough decision for Rockie with Kissick getting very close to returning.

- Defensively the young Klippers held their own against the high powered offense of the Broncos. I felt that Brett Blatz had a really solid game for Kindersley. I seen him match up a few tines against Andrew Johnston and he either knocked him off the puck or kept him to the outside when driving a number of times. Overall the entire d core looked good with the exception of the Davies goal when he danced around behind the net then walked out front and scored to give the Broncos the lead.

- Overall the game was in my mind a positive for this club. Last time they played Humboldt they were dominated from start to finish losing 7-2. This time however they were a skills competition away from picking up the 2 points which shows that this club is improving.

- Kindersley will finally start to play some Sherwood division opponents. They welcome in Yorkton for the 1st time this season on Wednesday and play host to Melville on Friday. The Sherwood division is very tight right now and Kindersley will need to take advantage of home ice over these next few games.
