The Wings have at least found a way to beat the Bruins the past couple meetings , and that is by finding a way to score. Hope it continues , i really do want to see that 1st round matchup , the way the fans have been coming out since the New Year to see these two teams play , could be a lot of fun.

Agreed! Would be a huge financial boost to both teams and the atmosphere in the rink when these 2 meet takes ya back to the “old School” days The fans and players seem to have a genuine dislike for each other and it’s coming thru in the play on the ice Fun stuff that I hope had the chance to continue for a couple more weeks!

Can't hold a 3-0 1st period lead against the Hounds, that's a big one after the comeback Friday. Need some luck to get to that 6 spot now, the only solace is the Wings play Yorkton and the Klippers have 2 with the Stars. That being said. The Klippers are playing solid hockey right now.

Congrats to the Klippers for doing what they needed to do to secure that 6 spot , now the Wings will either host the Millionaires or the Bombers. Is it ok to hope they don't get the Mils? Melville has outplayed the Wings in a lot of head to head match ups this season , that has upset written all over it. Basically i'm once again disappointed we do not get a HWY 39 series , only one time since 1998 have they met , would have been nice to see again.

To be honest, Mils vs Wings is exactly the matchup I've been hoping for.

Outside of the travel scenario , the way the Wings have played the Mils is troubling. The Millionaires went 5-3 against Weyburn , and for the most part , in games i saw , were the hardest working of the two clubs and quite frankly , the better team on the ice. In a short series anything can happen, wouldn't be shocked myself.

This is what flyswatter said makes a good goalie in another thread and I think he is spot-on! A few characteristics I look for: 1) Focus - holds off the initial push by opponent; doesn’t get scored on right after his team scores or right after an opponent goal; capable of long periods of shutout hockey; can steal games; no weak goals; his team always has a chance because he rarely gives up more than 3 and never gives up more than 4 2) Lazy - rebounds below the goal line or not at all; catches everything, absorbs the rest; second saves are not needed 3) Skating - great edges in the crease, great footwork outside the crease 4) Calm leader - you know he hates being scored on but he will never show his team up when he is 5) Smart - recognizes and understands opponents’ systems and anticipates plays 6) Positioning - knows where his net is and can keep the angles covered when moving laterally; pucks never hit the middle post If you've spent any time watching Weersink, you will know that he doesn't fit many of these characteristics. Often gives up early goals, many of them right after Weyburn scores. Lots of weak goals, many of them scored in the middle of the net. He gives off rebounds like crazy with many of them coming off his glove. I've lost count of how many games he's given up 5 goals. Battlefords was an exceptional game for him but that is not the normal. The next night he gave up a 5 ball. He's not consistent. Weyburn needs better tending to go the distance Looks to me that your assessment of weersink is waaaay off. According to last nights performance

Hound, even a broke clock is right twice a day. I still stand by my assessment 100%. Since the new year his save percentage is .856. and since the new year the wings have had to play a lot more of the top teams. He does very well against the cellar dwellers and I will give him credit for last night but it was Melville. Shot count also goes up when you give up 2 or 3 rebounds on every shot. Good for him for making the saves on them all last night. I hope he can prove me wrong again

Another way to put it would be:
Congratulations Arik Weersink on posting a 46 save shutout win in what could potentially have been your final game of junior hockey.
Good job, ygafi

Good job, ygafi My goalie assessment was being questioned over one game. I was just defending my original assessment using YOUR criteria. I did give him credit for a good game last night but I don't think that's what we can expect for the long haul. That's my opinion which is what this board is about. Again, I hope I'm wrong. Go Wings!

Tip of the cap to Weersink , once again Melville had the better opportunities IMO , but he was solid for the 2nd straight game, good vibe in the building last night as well , loved the atmosphere.

Pretty easy to have the better opportunities and shot total when you are on the PP 4x more than your opponent ?!! Legitimately some of the worst reffing I’ve seen in all my years of hockey It was very disappointing I hope there is evaluation going on and some correction being made afterwards to try and get some consistency because the league and players deserve better than what I witnessed

If ya wanna complain could you please try to be accurate. 3 minors to 1 minor cant keep a team on the PP 4x more than the opponent. Sorry but your assessment of the officiating was just voided.

Maybe I should gave went on to say voided in my mind. Sorry but it is hard to understand that a team who had 4 extra minutes to kill 4 on 5 lost the game cause they could not build momentum since they were shorthanded so often. They still had 59 minutes and 46 seconds of equal or greater strength hockey to built it

I think maybe u should just take the intent there big fella U know what I meant The reffing wasn’t very good in this series If u weren’t there I’d suggest yur opinion is rather null and void It’s ok to have a conflicting opinion but the missed calls in juxtaposition to the made calls were/are the issue If u don’t agree ...cool But if u didn’t attend a game...hard to just look at the stats and have a very hard line opinion If u did attend...even better! Then I have to believe u honestly disagree and I have to respect that

The refs did a good job in game 3 by letting the teams decide the winner. Kazymyra, Eskra and others drop to a knee when hit clean to try and draw a penalty. Embarrassing for the league. The number of times Eskra was crying to the officials was an embarrassing too. Scotts experience helped manage the game and put the result in the hands of the players. The Wings were the deserved winner but enough with blaming the officials.

All the best to the Weyburn graduates, they all had a heck of a career.. Eskra will be a huge loss for Weyburn next year.

I think weyburn fans will enjoy this team this year. Losing eskra is a blow, but their overall team on paper looks like a strong one. Lots of offense up front coming in as 2nd year, and some solid 19 n 20s to add some grit. Backend has a good mix of offense n grit.If they can transform the paper to ice.

Can anyone explain why the Wings and Bruins would make the schedule so that they meet 10 times from December 15th to the end?

Can anyone explain why the Wings and Bruins would make the schedule so that they meet 10 times from December 15th to the end? I believe they did the same thing last year. The two teams barely saw each other in the first half of the season, and then the second half it was a ton of games between the two. Maybe the league wants to promote the rivalry down the stretch? It does seem like a bit of overkill in my opinion.

I personally believe tour 1st reg season game is as important as the last reg season game. Ex. Nipawin loosing in OT 2 yrs ago in FF's home opener cost the Hawks 1st in the division. Who would have guessed. But it seems most people think the games mean more later in the season as the points are more established. I think that is why rivals book heavier toward the end hoping fans percieve the games to be win or die situations thus coming out in person and buying tickets to support the teams. The CFL scheduled pretty heavy east vs west to start the season hoping the last part of the season will exploit meaningful conference games going into the playoffs. Just my 2 cents which rounds down to nothing anyway!

Rivals playing each other so much in the last few months is dangerous in my opinion. The guys get pretty heated with no time to cool down. Seems like they are asking for more players injured come playoffs. Just my two cents. I didn't like that schedule last year and I don't like it this year.
