Bombers Hit Estevan

 

 

The Bombers after a much needed day off will hit beautiful Affinity  Place tonight for a meeting with the Estevan Bruins.

 

Flin Flon come in flying high with a 7 game winning streak and winners of 14 of their last 15 games including a 4-0 shutout over Notre Dame on Wednesday .

 

Brenden Newton who is the reigning SJHL goalie of the week is on a real roll, as he has won 5 straight including a pair of shutouts and is becoming a big story.

 

Zac Robidoux went down with an injury against Melfort on January the 8th and Newton has seized the opportunity and never complained about sitting on the bench for good chunks of the season.

 

That just go's to show you, that if you continue to work hard and put the team first you will get an opportunity at some point.

 

Alex Smith continues to score at will and now has a share of the SJHL scoring lead with the Mustangs Travis Mayan who both have 66 points. Smith could be the first Bomber to win the scoring race since Reid McCloud in the mid 2000's.

 

This will be the fourth and final meeting of the year against  the Bruins, with Flin Flon taking the first 3 including a 5-2 win in Estevan October the 30th. The Bombers took both games at the Whitney Forum 3-2 and 8-3.

 

The Bombers are not only trying to hold off Nipawin for second in the Sherwood, but also have their sights on the Mustangs who all of a sudden are only 5 points ahead of Flin Flon. The Bombers also have a game in hand.

 

Estevan who really struggled before Christmas have found their groove and are 6-2-0-2 in their last10 and are 10 points behind Weyburn for first in the Vittera Division. This is always special when these former WCHL rivals get together and this game is extra important with both these clubs battling for fourth overall.

 

Flin Flon have 54 points and Estevan have 47.

 

You can catch all the action once again on 102.9 CFAR and flinflononline.com including the Murray GM Coach's Show at 7:15 and play by play at 7:30. Raphael Saray has the call.
