September To Remember

 

 

The Flin Flon Bombers electrifying start to the season continued on the weekend against the Melville Millionaires sweeping both games at the Whitney Forum.

 

Flin Flon wrapped up September with a 3-1 win on Friday with goals from Watson his league leading 9th, Lesko his 4th and Brody Madarash picked up his first ever SJHL goal.

 

The Bombers finish September with a record of: 5-1-1, pretty good when you consider they only had 1 point in all of September last year.

 

They took over right where they left off to start October blanking the Mills 2-0 on Saturday.

 

Greyson Reitmeier picked a good time to score his first of the season when he picked up a powerplay goal mid way through the first period streaking in on Brandon Wells and poking a puck under his right pad.

 

That stood as the game winner with Nik Shumlanski scoring an insurance goal late in the second period to make the final 2-0.

 

Zac Robidoux was between the pipes for both Bomber victories and made 22 saves to collect his first shut out of the season. He had 5 last year to set a new Bomber record.

 

Robidoux is one of the reasons Flin Flon has had a great start to the season going 3-0 to go along with a GAA of 1.33 and a save % of .957.

 

After the weekend the Bombers are 6-1-1 and lead the Sherwood Division by 3 points over Nipawin who picked up their 4th straight win last night.

 

Flin Flon is second overall and trail the rejuvinated Humboldt Broncos by just 1 point. Both teams have played 8 games.

 

Next up for the Bombers will be a real test as they get set to host the Battleford Stars in a pair of games Friday and Saturday. Enjoy the Thanksgiving weekend with two quality hockey teams and this will also be their first meeting since the Bombers beat them in 5 games to eliminate the Stars from the playoffs last spring.

 

No broadcast Friday, we hit the air waves Saturday with the Murray GM Coach's Show at 7:15, play by play at 7:30.
