Bombers Travel To OCN

 

 

 

The battle of Northern Manitoba  will resume tonight  at the GLMC, between the Flin Flon Bombers and OCN Blizzard with puck drop at 7.

 

This will be Flin Flon's second pre season game after dropping a 9-4 decision to Nipawin on Saturday in an all rookie matchup at the Whitney Forum. This is the first pre season game for OCN. The second pre season game for the Bombers was cancelled due  to bus problems.

 

I caught up to Head Coach and GM of the Bombers Mike Reagan and asked him what type of lineup he would ice tonight. " Obviously things have changed since we lost the second pre season game with the Hawks, that was going to be an opportunity for us to take a look at all our young guys. The rookie game here Saturday was basically our draft picks. I dressed a lot of young guys and I thought we played pretty well and Nipawin had a bit of an older lineup. It was a good measuring stick and going forward here, I think we are going to have to give guys a couple less games than what we would have  liked to. We will get a lot more rookies in the lineup tonight and get most of our A lineup in  for the return game Saturday."

 

You can catch all the action on 102.9 CFAR tonight with the Murray GM Pre Game Show at 6:45 and play by play at 7. Jaret Schneider will have the call.

 

Last season the two teams split the 2 game series with the Blizzard coming back from 2 goals down in the third period to pull out an OT win at OCN. The Bombers took it to OCN with lots of penalties in the rematch at the Whitney Forum.

 

This is the only opportunity to see these two teams play each other, so hopefully we will see packed houses for both these games tonight and Saturday.

 

I will have a complete wrap up tomorrow.
