I actually kinda hope this goes more than 4. That 50/50 is insane and I was only a few numbers off. Haha.

I think this series is going to be a barn burner… too close to predict.. I’ll say Battlefords in 7.. lots of depth and experience from last years championship run. 14 players with 10 goals or more this year in the sj. Losing Sylvestre for the first game is a huge loss for the Bombers.. Depth? They don’t have any depth upfront. D sucks. Cunningham is bad. No threats at 5 on 5

kian bell is a 2x mvp? guy is non existent out there Bell can produce points, of that there's no doubt. But he is hands down the biggest floater in the league. He will not get anywhere NEAR any rough stuff and if I was his teammates, I would expect him to at least help me out or back me up. But nope absolute floater and soft as butter. Sure, he won a ring and that's great, but whoopty doo. He's 100 percent 1-dimensional I don’t think Bell is real defensive, but on the other hand coaches from other teams voted him as the mvp, not fans, so I’m thinking they respected his abilities. My guess is if he dawned a bomber jersey he’d be the best player that ever played in the SJ, by no means you owe him respect but I feel your demoting his abilities has something to do with a stars jersey.

Empty, unoriginal, and feelin beaten after two games in a what could be a 7 games series. No “sis boom bah” for the Stars, we can tie this up at home kinda optimism. Mikey not winning in 18 years.., think Man think of something new. Try and think of something new for next season ok! Go Bombers

I’d put my energy towards finding a coach that could teach Bell how to play a 185 foot game. 😜. He might have to go to the dirty areas though. Kinda like Sylvester,Lies ,Anderson Or should I say pretty much every Bomber.

Bell was a legitimate, even deadly, threat a handful of times in each game. The rest of the time he vanished. The real stars (pun intended) are Izyk and Portner.

Giving credit where it is due. The Bombers outplayed the Stars in every way tonight. Bomber speed is giving the Stars problems moving and carrying the puck. Cunningham is playing great and keeping the games close but is not getting much help, especially in the third when it opened up. I wonder if the Bomber bus gets an update from the decal on the side “92-93 league champions”? Never know…

Sounds to me like the bigger faster stronger team took over in the third led by hometown captain of the team. Sounds vaguely familiar doesn’t it. The writing on the wall is pretty clear and certain. Bombers are gettin stronger, playing very well and focused. Enjoy the game tonight, and Bomber s finish the Stars in front of their own fans tonight. Bomber fans would like that.

I'm sure the best coach in the league will have the boys fired up tonight! He can't get out coached 4 games straight. Can he?? The pure depth of the Stars have to come through! Especially the best defense core left in the playoffs. That young Cunningham is one heck of a goalie. Keeping the Stars in these games. Goaltending is solid for the next two years for the Stars.

Out coached?? Flin flon is so far and away better than battleford on paper. This isn’t Mike out coaching Brayden. This is one team trying to buy a championship. And they have succeeded in the sense of absolutely stacking a roster.

A friend of mine had his vehicle window smashed out last night in Battleford along with a bunch of other Manitoba plated vehicle’s. Bomber fans might want to leave their vehicles at the hotel and catch a cab.
Stay classy Battleford!!! Wow!!!

You’re allowed to pay up to $5000 for a PDF (player development fee). Kinda like Kindersly paid a pdf for Mueller. So technically Kindersly bought their way into the playoffs according to some posters on here.

I hate it when opposing team fans give everyone a bad name. I know my friends went to Flin Flon for playoffs and felt incredibly unsafe. Weyburn fans often have police presence because they’re so chaotic and get kicked out of their own arena. And I know Estevan fans have been bad before. I wish everyone could just be super respectful. It’s just a game after all.

Yes. Out coached thoroughly!
You can bring in all the talent you want. But if you don't get the players to buy into your system, their role. The player nor the team will be successful.
Reags has everything playing 200 ft hockey. With some players more in checking roles rather than leading roles. They have bought in totally. And it is showing so far with the success they are having.
Battlefords has some talented players. But some do not play a complete game. Guess the coach doesn't think some players need to back check and play defence.
Guess that old saying of Hard Work Beats Talent, when Talent Doesn't Work Hard is showing this series.

I wonder how they new they were Battlefords fans? Can't be because they had Saskatchewan plates. Because half of Flin Flon has Saskatchewan plates. I think you're just making this up. Trying to one up the story.

Every fan base does have their bad apples. You wouldn’t think it wouldn’t be from people that represent your organization though. I’m now told players from Battlefords AAA u18 team were throwing garbage at Bombers parents and fans. Wouldn’t surprise me as it also happened last year with Battlefords president watching as it went on. They were also seen going through the parking lots between periods. The hockey world is a small world and if this is true. It’ll all come out sooner or later.

I think this is pretty far fetched, just like the tire slashing. I find some fans on this board take things a bit farther than just a good rivalry that actually makes teams better.

I wasn’t there but my buddy did send me pictures of his car. With a smashed window in the parking lot. Far fetched from Battleford? Haha. Good one. You also know exactly where most of the visiting teams sit in the far corner.
