Are You Kidding Me?
I think the common catch phrase applies here following another dramatic Broncos victory, this time a 4-3 shootout win over the Lethbridge Hurricanes.
For the 2nd straight game, the Broncos tied things up in the last 10 seconds - last night it was David Stieler's turn. His goal with the 'tender pulled and with 8 seconds remaining helped the Broncos pull out two points. Again, they found a way to win instead of last year's common phrase of "finding a way to lose".
Don't look now, but the Broncos now trail Brandon by two points for the division lead.
Boy, was it quiet at the Chinook Library . . . er, Civic Center last night until the last minute of the game. You could hear the buzz of the lights over the sparse crowd at times . . . where is everybody?? Kudos, though to those in attendance who started making some noise for the final minute as the Broncos came out of the time-out looking for that tying goal. Again, somehow they did it.
The Broncos are now 3-0 in shootouts this season - a far cry from last year's struggles. Last year, I hated the shootout, now I love it! Winning can do that I guess, I'm on the shootout bandwagon! Until we lose.
Dale Wiese was a physical force as he bashed some bodies early in the game including a steam cleaning of Yashar Farmanara. Heads up Yash! Oh, forget it. He also had a goal and two assists and was named the games 1st star.
Kyle Bortis was firmly planted in the middle of the bench for the third period. The coaching staff taking some exception to how he was playing last night. Kyle was playing with the full face-shield after taking a puck to the face in practice. In my opinion, he was concerned about taking a shot to the same area and seemed to avoid the dirty areas last night.
How 'bout the Blades? They snap a 9 game losing skid with a 6-1 thrashing of Moose Jaw last night. The Blades connecting of four powerplay goals. The Broncos host the Blades tomorrow night.
Two games 'till the Christmas break. I may be looking more forward to the time-off than some of the players.
More to come . . . later. For now, back to my real job. Another early morning here in radioland,
Thanks for visiting,
Jon
