Five different players scored in a 5-1 victory over the Flin Flon Bombers in the first of a two-game set this weekend. Kindersley has now won five in a row.
The goals came from Cody Lund, Jesse Mysiorek, Johnny Calkins, Andrew Dommett and Sanfred King. The Klippers dominated the Bombers on the forecheck in the first period, led 2-0 after two and really blossomed in the third.
Don't look now, but the Klippers (19-15-2) are now in sole possession of second place for the first time in quite a while. Weyburn is one back and Estevan is two back, both with a game in hand. Yorkton had their nine-game winning streak snapped tonight and they are 12 points ahead of the Klippers, with an extra game played.
Bump of the game: Jesse Mysiorek
Three Stars: 1. Braeden Adamyk, 2. Johnny Calkins, 3. Jesse Mysiorek
Honourable mentions to Sean Flanagan and Sanfred King. Both guys were very impressive tonight. It was one of those nights when it's really hard to pick these because so many guys played really well.
Both teams will do it all over again tomorrow at 6.
Interviews:
Tanner Kissick's line with Down and Wasden was terrific tonight. He was under heavy scrutiny during this interview...
Rockie Zinger talks about how important the strong forecheck and traffic in front were tonight, the contributions from all lines and tomorrow's game.
Lewy, don't mean to be tough on you and Ullsy but I think you both were off the mark slightly by not giving Sean Cahill a game star. His pad save early in the game at the back post was a game saver in my opinion, or at least a turning point. While I agree that he wasn't tested all that much he was a calming influence for his team and think he deserved at least the 3rd star selection!
