About Last Night... Flin Flon 5 - OCN 4

Well,

Apparently Clay DeBray is now going viral on the internet. His great "cat in the hat" interview we did a few weeks ago got picked up by the score.

On to last night.

Tough game for OCN, 10 penalties against, not all of them warranted. When the play was 5 vs 5 Flin Flon had a very hard time containing the size and speed of the Blizzard. Again, this team looks pretty solid heading into the tail end of the exhibition season.

Alex Henry looked spectacular, made a great split save on his keister off a scramble in front. He's calm and has very good rebound control. Seems like he slows the game down. Although he isn't a big goaltender he plays out and cuts down the angles very well.

Brendan Dusik wasn't very noticeable, which is good for a stay at home defender. I'm sure we'll see his game become more physical as he gets back into game action.

Here are last night's post game comments from Head Coach Jim Mollard.




The Blizzard are in Sioux Lookout tomorrow, Dryden Friday and Neepawa on Sunday.

Our next broadcast will be Friday September 21st for the home opener versus Swan Valley.

  1. Is it true that Thomas Ward-Cardinal walked out on the team?

  2. Well it's unfortunate, however, I see it as a blessing in disguise. He is a good offensive defenseman with good hands. His temper and attitude would have been a major distraction and interference to the locker room. In the few games I've seen he has a quick temper, and selfish expentancy of always having the puck.

    I hope the best for him. I hope we can also fill a big hole he will leave on D

  3. It is unfortunate, since he was so skilled. However if you want to build a championship team like Fontaine has been saying you need everyone on board. Clearly he was not. They'll get a solid return for him from the AJHL.
