Mustangs PP running at 10.9%..Really? Better be getting that going if they want continued success. After watching tonight's game vs LA they better have a lot more effort for the games coming up this weekend against Nipawin to even have a chance! I didn't see the game but they couldn't have been that bad to have almost 60 shots on net. Give a little credit to Joyce I'd say. Oh fore sure Joyce played real great! Unfortunately Melfort Forgot to play 60 minutes of hockey and if they had a PP that could score they had great PP oppurtunities at crucial times in the game.

Thankfully we are done playing in that brutal little barn in La Ronge. 0-1-2 at the Mel this year. Hopefully they can make the playoffs and generate enough money to build the other half of the ice surface next year. Maybe raise the roof and install some lighting the year after.

Hey eyesonthegame, where is the game summary? Or do you get the night off after a loss? LOL And hasn't the ice surface size topic gone far enough. Someone said all rinks are official except ND, Nipawin and FF. So that would make the ice surface in Laronge official. Blaming a building for a loss is weird.

To be clear I am blaming Melfort's lack of effort for the first 20 minutes for the loss. Having said that the Mel is terrible and clearly someguy has never left the chicken coup to see it. The Mel is 185 feet long vs the standard 200, the ceiling is incredibly low such that even there announcer comments on it every single game. Perhaps moving to the JRMCC built in 2005 that currently exists a whopping 10 minutes away from the Mel would actually bring in more fans? It can't possibly hurt there attendance........

Will be a good battle this weekend with the Hawks. I predict the home team winning both games, tonight Hawks win in OT and tomorrow Stangs in regulation. If the stangs can pull off a sweep will give them a bit of breathing room with the Hawks in the standings

Nice bounce back game for the Mustangs. Nothing like starting the weekend with a road win in Nipawin. Hoping for a sweep this weekend. Could not make it to the game due to work commitments. Anyone at the game? How was it? someguy did you go to the game?

So what exactly are the Mustangs getting in return for these player's that they've traded? What is a player Devolpment Fee? Sometimes it could be called extortion. Basically some players are bought and sold for money instead of trading player for player. Player may not even know what those fees are. Basically the two teams have to come to an agreement on what that fees will be. Boy, when I read these words back it's not a pretty side of hockey.

Mustangs played well and I thought that they actually let up on the Hawks. The intensity in this game was gone after the second period. Mustangs were a much better team all over the ice. The Hawks can't compete when our we play our back up goalie (not the same team) need an upgrade there. Hope tonight is a better game.

I kind of agree with nipahawk. Hawks didn't play 80% of their potential. I haven't seen Melfort play until last night and I was expecting more from them. However I guess you kind of play to your opponent. I wouldn't blame the game on the goalie though. He was left hi and dry several times. Defensive presence wasn't really there. 3 goals from players unchallenged on blue ice. It was an easy loss to handle cause it was obvious after the 1st period it was the Mustangs game. Nipawin didn't seem to want it as bad and it showed. Then you had 40 minutes of hockey time to get over it before the loss was a reality. So I slept OK! Lots of bad passes, missed passes and turnovers.

Player development fees are a fancy word for cash. I think they used to use the word futures but that was too inclusive, meaning, cash, futures, loans etc. Its still vague but not as vague.

Not good if the coach can't get the boys ready to face their rivals at home for a big Friday night game. And that situation with the kid wearing the road A... is he losing the locker room again already?

What do you mean "again already?" He never lost the locker room. If somebody doesn't want to be a Hawk they won't be a Hawk. Dunlop being out is huge. Not enough down the middle to not miss him.

Tonight's will be. Hopefully there's good videos of the last two goals though because from where I was sitting (behind the net) both were good but I know Nipawin fans are going to whine about them.

Wow... with 3 minutes to go in the 3rd period, I was coming to the reality that it was going to be a weekend split. But with 2 late goals while Richard Palmer was pulled for the extra attacker, (how often does that happen)and Kalem Zary the hero in overtime, 4 for 4 in points this weekend. But I have to give Kristian Stead props for making some good saves tonight. Shmyr was not the referee tonight so Nipawin can blame the loss on him. They just gave the game away at the end.

eyeonthegame- I owe you an apology - you have a fairly sober minded look at things and that is nice - Stangman - your posts are still uneducated and sewage. You probably still think Blevins is a saint. The Hawks did give the game away mostly due to not clearing the zone IMO. Mustangs didn't give up and it paid off. Definlety isnt the first time Nipawin gave away a game in the last 180 seconds.
But honestly, even if I lived in Melfort and was a Melfort fan - or let me say it this way - If Yawitt, Clark and Zary were on the HAwks, I'd not be proud of them on the team. I will admit the Hawks are not all angels, but cross checks to the neck and shoulders before the puck is dropped for the 1st period is "looserville". A coach encouraging/allowing that is the same. (Yawitt Friday and Clark Sat)obviously a called play by the coach. Both were behind the ref. Coincidence - I think not!
Where did Clark come from? Prison! Two things with him. He was assessed a minor and a 10 min Misc. Then he leaves the penalty bench to get his stick from the players bench and chirps a few Hawks an the way - 1st off, minor off ice officials should know better than to let a penalized player back onto the ice. That could have caused a lot of crap, simply from the box guy's ignorance or tolerance. It s also a minor penalty. 2nd - I don't expect the penalty call on this because there is no way the ref could have seen it, nor did he impress me enough that he had the balls to call it anyway - (Clark) giving the finger to a fan is a gross misconduct and about as low as you can go in hockey these days. And Mayan - man the guy can score and he's got great skill but I don't know if I could handle his whiny attitude very long. It would be a tough decision to try to tolerate that in exchange for his goals! I'd rather loose with class than win with what those 4 brought to the game tonight. Makes me think a few of those points are asked for not earned.

Stangman - if you think the HAwks would blame the loss on the ref you must have seen something that was called against their favor. What was it? The Hawks consumed less time asking about the 3rd goal than Mayan did whining about the being knocked over at the blueline. And Zary is lucky Piattelli is the gentleman he is. Pia had him lined up for the moon but backed off considerably after he saw it was a dangerous situation. Pia was over committed to stop but he likely kept Zary from being carried off the ice. A classy move that makes a fan proud of his team.

So losing with class involves complaining about almost everything Melfort did or does? Did you listen to your coach on the post game radio interview? If you did you'll know he complained about the Penalty call at the end of the game. While not blaming the loss on it, he sure made a point to complain about the refs again.
Clarke certainly has a screw loose, the fact that he got you and the others rattled shows he did his job. He played in Lloyd last year for what it's worth. I think based on scoring chances and a weak goal on Palmer, likely should've been 4-2 for Melfort in regulation.
Your tender kept you in it. Let's be honest.

Complain or cheer all you want based on where u are from but you have to admit that was great hockey to watch this weekend. I was at both games and there was great attendance in both barns with plenty of visiting fans going each way. Lots of speed, great goaltending, nice goals, and of course the drama from last night. All of the video highlights are up on the Mustang sight in the game recap and the puck was definitely in with 0.5 seconds left. The only fans complaining today are the ones leaving the palace with two minutes left in the third!

It amazes me how good Mayan really is, by looking at the box score he scored with 1 second left on the clock? Must've been a pretty good game to add to an even already better rivalry.

Well for anyone complaining that Melfort's third goal to tie the game was scored after time had expired, go to the Mustangs website to watch the video. The game clock in in the lower right hand corner and Mayan scored with .5 of a second left. Like I said before Nipawin had the game and they gave it up on a silver platter to the Mustangs. The referee was Calvin Roseberry last night and from what I know he is not from Melfort. So is DJ going to complain to the league now and want Roseberry banned from doing his teams games also. The referee did not cost Nipawin the game, Nipawin cost themselves the game. You win as a team and lose as a team. Period. As for the penalty Wolkowicz took at the end of the 3rd period, he should not have put himself in that position to have to Roseberry make the holding call. Furthermore Roseberry called a good game. There could of been more calls on each team and he made the right call on Mayan's goal without having the ability to look at the video. Thanks for the apology "someguy". But as for Piattelli's being a gentleman for not really hitting Zary into the boards harder, that is not being a gentleman at all. No one playing the game should be purposely causing injuring to an another player. That's not hockey. Same could be said about Sobkowicz's hit to. Good thing he is a gentleman also. Hockey is a contact sport and the area of 3 to 4 feet from the boards is a dangerous spot and when a player gets hit from behind he has no time to protect himself and that is why the penalty is taken so seriously. I personally witnessed when Brad Hornung was hit from behind when he played for the Regina Pats and hope to never see that or have that happen to any player ever again. Two games this week for the Mustangs against the Bombers. Should be a couple good games as the Bombers always come the rink ready to play.

Yeah that hit from behind was "classy", all he did was crush him into the boards hard enough that his visor came off. And so classy when Dougie sent the team out at the horn as the refs were discussing the goal. And so classy when I heard Nipawin fans yelling about the "crooked refs" as I left the game. Stay classy.
I will agree Mayan needs to whine less though. I like the boys coming out aggressive to start the game, and don't pretend the Hawks have never done anything like that or been over the line chippy.

I never seen Clarke give the finger but I did see him taunting at the end of the game which isn't cool and I'm sure that would be addressed by the coach. Secondly some pretty strong suggestions saying melforts coach sent yawitt or Clark after guys. Give it a rest. Remember when you Hawks had The one and only Calvin Crowe in your lineup? Speaking of meat heads.

Last Post - great 1 - CAlvin Crowe - Come on, that was when hockey was an entire generation older, completley different hockey and attitude everywhere in North America. You want to suggest Johnson instigates chippy stuff by going back to before Johnson even played to bring up a player to shade this weekend's play - Get real. Try to stay in the same time zone. I could tell you about some Melfort / Nipawin Midget B hockey - but why - it isn't relevant. I would also say Sobkowics' hit could have been more dangerous if he had not also let up. I think the fact 2 guys played the game with all their heart but still had enough humanity to realize enough is enough is a plus to both of these players.
Does Rock Rushowski get a hat trick for scoring 2 in the game and the winner in the Shoot OUt?
Bye guys and girls - I will be getting a paycheck form one of the SJ teams this month. Can't talk about trades, injuries, or share my opinion on the social scene anymore so why tempt myself. Have a good winter L4D. You've always had an interesting read.

Back on March 1st, 1987 while playing for the Regina Pats Brad Hornung was skating hard towards the Moose Jaw Warriors net and was checked from behind by Troy Edwards. It sent Brad head first into the end boards, damaging Brad's third cervical vertebra and spinal cord. Because of the hit he is now is paralyzed from the neck down and is unable to move any of his extremities. It was that most horrific thing I have ever seen playing or watching hockey. Like I mentioned in previous post the 3 to 4 feet from the boards is the most dangerous place on the ice and when you are going full tilt towards the boards it does not take much of a shove to knock you off your balance and have what happened to Brad. I was also checked from behind on a breakaway and was lucky is guess as I went into the boards feet first and broke my left ankle, tibia and fibula and partially tore my MCL. So for "someguy" to say and I quote "Zary is lucky Piattelli is the gentleman he is" is total BS. There is no place in hockey for this type of behavior, I don't care what team you are on or who you cheer for, no one deserves to be potentially paralyzed or killed for a gentlemanly hit. Unfortunately it happens in hockey as it is a fast game. Players know full well you can't hit from behind and to be a "gentleman" and just give a player a little push instead of a hard cross check is still 100% wrong.
