The Kirky Trek

What a road trip, and there is still one game left to go.

It was one of those weird games last night for the Bruins, they were trailing 4-1 halfway in the third before coming back to take the lead with less than a minute, but a night after the Bruins scored with a minute left, the Northstars scored with a second left on the clock to send the game in overtime, and then in OT Battlefords would win it.

But if you are the Bruins, you have to look at the positive and think about how the Bruins stole a point from the Northstars, and were able to walk away with something from Battlefords. I think if the Northstars would have lost the game, that would be considered a collapse since they were leading by 3 with 9 minutes left.

Also for the Bruins, they gave the extra points to a Bauer Conference team. While the Kindersley game was a 4 point win essentially, the Bruins just lost 1 point with the OT loss. There's nothing wrong giving up a point on the road.

Tonight in Humboldt, it should be another great game between these 2 teams, the Bruins are 1-0-1 this season against the Broncos. Including a 9-4 win a couple of weeks ago in Estevan. I always look forward to coming back to Humboldt since it's my home town, and I look forward to the third installment of the Bronco and Bruins series.
