Well done.
Those two words pretty much sum up tonight's game and the weekend in general for the Broncos, who utilized their speed to earn the huge win tonight, and two wins on the weekend.
Can anyone's tires be pumped in particular? Not really, because from my point of view, the entire team pitched in tonight. I suppose you would have to mention David Steiler and his two goals...he was fantastic. He proved what can happen when the puck is fired on goal in any situation. That game winner was a great goal by him....he was money around the net tonight. He also got the game's third goal...that one was kinda' "easy does it," but a goal is a goal. Also, a credit to Levi Nelson, who scored the game's first goal. What is it with Levi and Rowatt? One on one, Levi totally has Rowatt's number. He goes with the deadly wrister when he gets in alone, and nine out of ten times it seems Linda doesn't have the answer. haha
Tonight's game, again, is what you would call a team effort. The speedy guys were speedy...our best defensive guys were very defensive, and the patience was there as well. The Pats may think Andy Thiessen is crazy, but he surely is not.....the Broncos' speed drew all the penalties on Regina tonight, as the Pats at times just could not keep up. Maybe they were missing a few guys, but that situation is no different for Swift Current, who were still missing LaRochelle, Molle, and Eakin. So again....a good effort by the whole group, and congrats to Coach Kehler on his two and zero record as interim head coach.
NOTES:
-Levi Nelson played well tonight. I ripped him to shreds in the game recap after the Broncos played Lethbridge. I really went overboard with that one, as that night our whole team played awful...really. So in the last two games, Levi has bounced back and proved me wrong again. I really like to see that.
-after two big wins this weekend, the trade deadline has fallen to the sidelines...at least in my book. As I stated in a previous post, I truly believe the Broncos have most of the elements they need to be a competitor. The work needs to be done inside the dressing room.
-Rod Pedersen implied on his broadcast that Dale Weise speared twice in tonight's game, and never got called for it. Anyone see that? I saw that Dale Weise was competitive and dominant as usual. I guess Roddy sees things that I miss. lol
LET'S GO SWIFTY!!!
SIDENOTE: This is completely off-topic, but I would like to shout out to the Leavold family in B.C. who always read these post-game recaps. In particular, Mrs. Leavold, who had some really nice words on the phone a few weeks ago. I look forward to seeing our scout, Brian Leavold here in town when the Rockets come in later this month, and also Brady, who's really getting the points up in Kelowna.
