Bombers Drop Final Regular Season Game

It wasn't the way the Flin Flon Bombers wanted to enter the post season.

 

After a tough 5 to 4 loss in Melfort on Thursday, the Bombers got beat 4 to 1 in Battleford on Friday.

 

Flin Flon will face either one of these teams in the post season depending on what happens tonight between Battleford and Notre Dame.

 

The Stars are just 1 point back of Melfort for third over all and need just a point  to clinch third. Battleford would get the tie breaker because they have more wins.

 

No matter who Flin Flon plays  they need to figure things out quickly as they have been in a free fall the last few weeks which saw them lose 8 out of their last 11.

 

As a result they finish fifth overall and will not have home ice when the playoffs start on Friday.

 

Friday was a familliar result lately with lots of shots and not very many goals.

 

Flin Flon out shot the Stars 49 to 34 but found them selves on the wrong end of a 4 to 1 score.

 

Jaeden Mercier was the only Bomber to find the back of the net when he beat Austin Schwab with a nice wrister ealy in the first period.

 

The Stars got offense from Jake Southgate, Bradley Blake, Wilson Steele and Keiton Klein for their second win over the Bombers.

 

The season series ends 2-2 with both teams winning their two home games.

 

To make thngs even worse, Flin Flon will not have one of their top offensive players in Cole Duperreault who has a fractured jaw.

 

Duperreault is expected to be out 5 weeks and this injury couldn't of come at a worse time with the Bombers really struggling to score goals.

 

We will see who steps up as the Bombers will enjoy a few days off before the second season starts this weekend.

 

Flin Flon will finish the regular season at 34-21-2-1 and a tough 3 game losing skid heading into the playoffs.

 

Once again,  depending on what happens between Battleford and Notre Dame tonight the Bombers will either start the post season In Battleford or Melfort on Friday.
