Kicking Off the Week


-- A quiet weekend for the Bruins with just the 8-1 win over Kindersley on Friday night at Spectra Place. The Bruins will be scoreboard watching this week as the two teams who they're battling for playoff positioning will hit the road. Yorkton is in Nipawin tomorrow and then they head to Flin Flon on Wednesday. While Melville is in Battleford and Kindersley this week. The Bruins and Terriers will be even in terms of games played after their road trip while the Mils will still have games in hand.

-- The Bruins will close off their six game homestand this weekend with the Nipawin Hawks on Friday and Sunday against Battleford. I'm expecting Friday's game to be a very rough one after the previous three meetings this season with the Hawks and Bruins, I know the Bruins aren't too happy with their last matchup in Nipawin that went in favor to Nipawin.

-- The next three home games Jan.27 vs Nipawin Jan. 29 Battlefords Feb.8 Yorkton won't be broadcasted on CJ1280 and discoverestevan.com. but the final three home games and all of the playoff home games will be broadcasted on the radio and internet.

-- No weekly winners this week with just the one game, I'll just factor in the Kindersley game with the two games this weekend.

-- The Bruins are unveiling their new mascot next month, the naming contest for the mascot will be closing on Wednesday, so stop by the Bruins office and drop off your entry.




-- Football fans were treated to a pair of great Conference Championship games in the NFL, and I'm a die hard 49ers fan so obviously I'm hurting today BIG TIME. But hats off to the Giants and Patriots for surviving this far in the season and will compete in the Super Bowl in two weeks from Indy.

-- Not sure who's the biggest goat Kyle Williams or Billy Cundiff.

-- I think the 49ers will be back in the NFC Championship sooner than later, I think Jim Harbaugh has something special going on in San Fran, kind of like the other coach from Stanford the 49ers hired in the legendary Bill Walsh.

-- As of right now I'm picking the Giants in the Super Bowl, they just seem like a team of destiny right now.

-- Estevan and Weyburn will be rivals next season in High School Football as Weyburn will be joining the Moose Jaw High School Football league. I talked to Elecs Head Coach Marco Ricci and I'll have the interview up later this afternoon.

-- Estevan's Brent Gedak is off to the Provincial Tankard after winning the A Final in the Southern Curling Playdowns in Swift Current this weekend.

-- Less than a month now til spring training camp opens up in baseball. I know the Blue Jays said they're probably done making moves, but I just got the feeling they have one more trade up their sleeve.

-- Have a great week everyone
