Bruins Season Ends Part 1

This is just a quick recap of last night's game. I'll have more thoughts later on today about the Bruins season coming to an end.

The CanElson Drilling Estevan Bruins left everything on the ice last night but in the end couldn't find enough offence to beat Weyburn as the Red Wings won 3-1.

The Red Wings opened up the scoring in the first period when Jack Kennelly scored on a wrap around past Tyler Ross to give the Red Wings a 1-0 lead early in the contest. The Bruins would come back with plenty of chances in the period but were unable to beat the Red Wings Mitch Kilgore. With one minute remaining, Jesse Ross was alone in the slot and he buried a shot past Tyler Ross to make the scored 2-0 after the first period.

The Bruins would begin to battle back in the second period as Matthew Dochylo would stuff in a loose puck past Kligore cutting the lead down to 2-1. The Bruins continue going after the second goal in the second period, but Kilgore would shut the door on the Bruins. The Bruins almost tied it up in the period when Derek Whitehill hit the post in the period. After 40 minutes the score remained 2-1 in favor of the Red Wings. The Bruins lead the shot clock 29-14.

In the third period the Bruins continue to pour on the offensive pressure with several chances going wide of the net. The Bruins pulled their netminder with just a minute remaining but were unable to score, and then Coltyn Sanderson took the puck and scored in the net.

The Bruins season comes to end, and the careers of Derek Whitehill, Dominic Perrault and Matthew Dochylo.
