After a wild Game 2 ending on Saturday, the Bruins will battle the Melville Millionaires in Game 3 the best of 5 Survivor Series tonight.
The Bruins were in the lead with 90 seconds left, but Melville was able to score twice in the last 90 seconds to get the win and even up the series.
At the end of the game, both teams were pushing and shoving which will make for a highly physical and intense Game 3 tonight.
I won't be broadcasting tonight's Game 3 on the radio due to Don Cherry's Coast to Coast hitting our airwaves. I will be doing the game for the live internet feed, and will be broadcasting Game 4 tomorrow in Melville.
This could be a busy week for yours truly, I might end up doing a hockey game every night this week.

Bruins vs Mils Game 2 Preview
Hopefully the Estevan Bruins winning streak isn't like my roll up the rim streak, that ended after 3 wins today.
The Bruins are coming off a dramatic overtime 5-4 win against the Mils in Game 1. The line of Mark Cross-Josh Jelinski- Troy Hunter delivered as advertised last night. They established a physical game and provided the energy and scoring the Bruins needed. With last change tonight, I'm sure Jaime Fiesel will be using it to his advantage against these 3.
I thought the Bruins top D pairing last night was Dominic Perrault and Matt Szpak. Both were solid defensively and didn't cough up the puck much, and they'll be expected to do the same again. Ty Ariss looked pretty good for his first game back, but Chad Leslie thinks Ariss can get even better as the playoffs move on.
I really thought it would be a no brainer Alex Sirard would start tonight, but I checked on Craig Stein's blog and Fiesel said he wasn't sure who would be starting in net. Rakochy may be the better goalie, and he's the future of the Mils goaltenders, but I think after last night, Melville will go back to Sirard, but it's all up to Jaime Fiesel.
We'll have Game 2 on CJ1280 and Discoverestevan.com beginning at 7:15.
Dave "The Hammer" Schultz will be the 2nd intermission guest.

Bruins Win Game 1 In OT
The Estevan Bruins showed off it's dramatic flare in a 5-4 overtime win over the Melville Millionaires.
The first period it was all Bruins as Mark Cross scored a hat trick and Ben Findlay added a powerplay marker to help the Bruins lead 4-1 after 1.
To Melville's credit they battled back. After pulling Zach Rakochy and putting in Alex Sirard, the Mils tied the game and sent it to overtime.
Josh Jelinski made it a short overtime with his game winner 46 seconds in.
Moments after the win I caught up with the overtime hero Josh Jelinski.
The line of Mark Cross Troy Hunter and Josh Jelinski was the difference for the Bruins. Cross Jelinski and Hunter are a rough line that will cause problems for other teams. With last line change tomorrow, it will be interesting to see who Melville matches that line with.
A couple of other Bruins who I thought were solid were Ben Findlay, Dominic Perrault and Matt Szpak.
Melville played a great road game and deserves credit for their comeback. The goalie switch was a stroke of genius by Jaime Fiesel and I think there's little doubt Sirard starts in Game 2.

My 2 Cents On How the Bruins Can Win
Up Front:
With 9 20 year old players, the time is now for this team to win a championship. The Bruins will try and become the 2nd straight Survivor Series team to win the SJHL title. The Bruins line of Mark Cross-Troy Hunter-Josh Jelinski should be a bruising line that will try and wear Melville down.
The Bruins are a 4 line team and will use all 12 forwards as much as they can. The 2 best forwards over the last week have been Ryan Ostertag and Chris Daniels. Every championship team needs an unsung hero, and if one these players continue their current pace, the Bruins should be able to go on a run.
Backend:
Injuries have been the story for the Bruins blueline. Joel Kot missed all of January with an injury. His first game back Ty Ariss got hurt, and then 2 games later Lucas Stubel got hurt. But since Ariss and Stubel's injuries, Matt Szpak and Eric Baldwin have stepped up to become solid regulars in the Bruins lineup. Ariss should be back in the lineup for the Bruins, while Stubel is likely out for the Series.Kot has been showing signs of breaking out offensively over the last couple of weeks, and the playoffs are the perfect stage for that too happen.
In net, the Bruins will turn to Joel Danyluk. Danyluk hasn't had the greatest regular season but after last year's playoffs everyone knows what Danyluk is capable of. It's been hard for Danyluk to get into a really rhythm as he shared the goaltending duties with Shea Cooper, but Danyluk will have every chance to carry the Bruins to the next round. And you know with another shot at Yorkton on the line, Danyluk will do everything in his power to get the Bruins to Yorkton for next Friday.
My 2 Cents on why Melville Can Win
Up Front:
With the trades of Brayden Metz and Cody Hanson, Mils Head Coach Jaime Fiesel sent the message the team was eyeing up the future. There's plenty of quality forwards for the Mils including Roger Tagoona, Michael Desjarlais, Mark Owen, and Lucas Froese to name a few. For the Mils to beat the Bruins, they will need all of their lines to score. With a young team it has to be scoring by committee.
Back end:
The Mils will have to lean on Craig Karius and Tyson Newell. The Bruins are going to try and establish the physical tempo and the Mils blueline will have to match it and exceed it. In net, Zach Rakochy will get the nod. Rakochy stats are very similar to Danyluk's from the regular season, but when it comes to playoff experience it's not even close. Rakochy is making his first playoff start tonight. If the Mils are going to beat the Bruins, Rakochy has to be better than Danyluk.
Final Thought
I'm not going to make a prediction because of conflict of interest, but I think everybody agrees the Bruins are the favorite. The Bruins will try and be physical and will count on getting scoring from all the lines. For the Mils, they have to win one game in Estevan, and with a young team the Mils best shot might be tonight in Game 1.

SJHL Broadcasting Poll...with 1 Thought
I'm sure everyone has seen the results of the SJHL Broadcaster's Survey.
Fine choices by everyone, and big thanks to Craig Stein for putting this together. Just one quick thought. Estevan was voted the worst rink to broadcast from, but I'll bet anybody money that next year it's number 1 rink to broadcast with Spectra Place opening up soon.

Talking With Dave Schultz
It was a blast on Saturday night at the Bruins Awards Banquet with THE Broad Street Bully, Dave "The Hammer" Schultz. Before the banquet I caught up with Schultz.
I'll be playing this interview during the 2nd intermission of tomorrow's Game 1 between Melville and Bruins.

SJHL Break
The SJHL regular season is over and the Survivor Series will start on Friday. The Bruins ended the season with a 6-5 shootout win over Melville.
The game was a little bit sloppy and at time lacked flow. The Bruins escaped with no injuries in the meaningless game. Troy Hunter and Ryan Andersen were scratches and will be back in the lineup. The Bruins are hopeful to get Ty Ariss back in the lineup for Game 1 on Friday. Lucas Stubel status in the Survivor Series is questionable.

Bruins and Mils Notes
The Bruins close off the regular season tonight in a Survivor Series Preview against the Melville Millionaires.
For tonight, the Bruins will just want to establish a presence for the Survivor Series and make sure Melville isn't heading to the playoffs with some extra momentum. The Bruins are also hoping to avoid injury trouble on the blue line, as they're already missing Lucas Stubel and Ty Ariss.
One question that likely won't get answered tonight is goaltending. We probably won't find out the starting goalie for the Survivor Series until Friday night. It will be interesting to see who's in net tonight.
Bruins are 5-1 this season against the Mils.
