Two Cent Tuesday

-- The Estevan Bruins have played their first 10 games of the season and there's no doubt everyone with the team isn't happy with the team's record of 2-7-1. Even though the Bruins failed to pick up a win in Humboldt or Flin Flon, they feel they aren't too far away from pulling off a winning streak. Playing a full 60 minutes and capitalizing on scoring opportunities are the two things the Bruins need to improve on before their next game on Saturday.

-- Curtis Martinu has emerged as a solid option for the Bruins between the pipes. Besides the opening night in Melville his GAA is 3.11 and he was outstanding for the Bruins this weekend in Flin Flon. The biggest question mark heading into the season for the Bruins was goaltending and over the last couple of weeks it's been their surest answer.

-- The Bruins are the least penalized team in the SJHL averaging less than 12 minutes a game.

-- This is a big weekend for the Bruins with a tired Flin Flon team on Saturday and then Weyburn on Sunday. Even though the Bombers are the best team in the SJHL, they end a four game/five day trip in Estevan on Saturday and the Bruins need to capitalize on the Bombers tired legs. On Sunday the Bruins need to pick up right where they left when they last faced the Red Wings.

-- I posted a link to the Bruins Broadcasting schedule on the top of the page. Three weeks until I'm back on the radio airwaves calling Bruins action. I'm pretty excited about the Bruins broadcasts this season, we're going to have a few new features that I'm looking forward to.

-- I'll have more details either tomorrow or Thursday on a new promotion the radio station is running with the Bruins.

-- This past week was probably the most exciting of week of the Baseball season. From Giants and Cardinals comebacks to the exciting AL series the best of baseball was on display this week. Right now I would say the World Series favorites have to be the Detroit Tigers.

-- I don't miss the NHL quite yet but that will change if the lockout lasts into November.

-- Quote of the week has to be Corey Chamblin's comment after signing of Evan Fornwald to a deal after he played in the National Touch Football Championships. "He'll fit in with our team because we played like it was touch football in Edmonton." ouch!

-- Is there such a thing as a normal Sunday in the NFL?

-- I'll have more with the Bruins tomorrow on the blog.
