I gave myself a few days off from this as I was kind of tired and wasn't doing anything with teams except radio stuff and you guys hear that anyway on CK750 right????? Whatever if you don't listen you don't listen. I'm not gonna make you cause thats not
I'll blog its way more fun I used to hate blogs but now its great for getting stuff out there I've noticed.
As it goes for local teams Nipawin is on the road for three in pretty much a must win situation from now until the conclusion of the season games in hand on Battleford they have to make it count or else another shortened season for the Black and Gold. Unfortunately it hasn't started good for them losing 6-0 to Notre Dame, The Hounds are now 4-0 against Nipawin this year, Games on CK750 this weekend as they're in Weyburn tomorrow and Estevan on Saturday Night. It will be an interesting bus ride to the hotel tonight.
Humboldt is in an interesting situation youth movement like Nipawin lost tonight to La Ronge but I've discovered that Beatty's Boys only work when the top line is scoring yes tonight it was the 2,3 and 4th lines tonight but Dean Brockman's crew shut them down and if there was scoring touch from Humboldt right now that game goes to the Green and Gold, Here's my question to the Wolves whatcha gonna do brother? When the Melfort Mustang's Defense core and Goaltending and if you get past them the Yorkton Terriers run wild on Lindensmith, Carre and Eggum and the rest of the gang??? There better be something special in the water in La Ronge if you want to repeat as champs.
Back to Humboldt for a moment I think if Hrynkiew and Bodnarchuk can get games back to the way they were the Broncos will stay in 3rd if they don't they'll be survivor series and anything can happen there. The Match-up will be Flin Flon or Nipawin both would be great series.
Humboldt hosts the red hot Klippers on Sunday we'll see what transpires there the Klips have been all right lately a sleeper almost except they're 2nd in the Sherwood Conference.
Now I'll be doing webcasts for the Mustangs this weekend as the Mustangs host Kinderlsey tomorrow and Notre Dame Sunday.
This is a great match-up it was last time and should be again and we'll see a goalie battle between Charles Corsi and Sean Cahill. Cahill could be a sleeper for good goalie records if he keeps it up he was good with Okotoks last year and has started out in fine form going 8-4 and was the December SJHL Goalie of the Month and Charles Corsi has been well.... Charles Corsi a front runner for MVP of the League.
Here's the Tale of the Tape
Offense
Kinderlsey has been lights out scoring in bunches with the likes of Dommett Calkins, Adamyk, King and always dangerous and one of my favorite players to watch in Taylor Duzan but there is a wild card in Spencer Braaten has leadership qualities and can score my question is.... how's the ankle? Is it in game shape.
As for the Mustangs well Brayden Metz has been great since since coming over from the Mils, Cody Hanson will debut tomorrow, Jesse Mireau 27 goals on the year with Sean Aschim setting him up plus scorers by committee on given nights, Wihak, Nabseth, Threndyle and Mault. Haygarth is still out with a shoulder injury apparently another week we'll find out tomorrow from Darrell Mann.
I'll give the advantage to Melfort by a hair due to how well the Klipps have played.
Defense
Flanigan, Leedahl and Dunn... Sorry fellas you've been good lately but Mitch and Carter Berg, Brkich, Christensen, Kipling, Badura, Johnson and when healthy Brenden Wall the D's don't match up.
Hands down advantage to Melfort.
Goaltending
Cahill has been solid we went over this and is getting better, Corsi well rested but is his groin still a little sore? we'll find out soon.
It's a draw here.
Overall it looks like Melfort should run over Kinderlsey but I don't think it will happen it think we're in for a beauty at the Palace tomorrow night, I'll say 4-3 Mustangs unless Corsi tries to score from centre again and score he's been close a couple of times, then maybe 5-3.
One more note for fans at the Palace.... GET LOUD AND EXCITED!!!! too many times I can hear a pin drop or every word Darrell Mann is saying and sometimes it's of the colourful nature but a great team this year they need devoted fans that will get crazy on a Friday night. Are you busy on a Friday night when it's cold in Melfort??? No your at home warming up lets change that and get crazy down there playoffs are coming and a loud Palace would be a site. I think the Green Army fans of the Okotoks Oilers of the AJHL need to show the Mustangs fans the path to awesome cheering fans.
Hope to see you at the rink say hi before I go up to the booth or in between periods.
Take Er Easy
