*** Red Wings - Hounds Updated ********
The Hounds recorded a 10-4 victory over the Weyburn Red Wings in Radville. Credit to the Hounds for a big win, there third straight. Rylan Schwartz led the way for the Hounds as he picked up two goals and added three assists. Steven Robinson, Eddie Gale and Tanner Vandesype each had a goal and three assists for the Hounds. Alan Logue scored twice while Chris Bratina and Travis Janke each had a goal and an assist. Thomas Williams and Kyle Ireland also scored for the Hounds while Grayson Brown and Marc-Andre Nadeau each had two assists. Torrey Lindsay was one of the few bright spots for the Wings this afternoon as he had two goals and an assist. Preston Shupe had a goal and an assist with Luke Johnson scoring the other Wing goal. Stephen Simms, Michael Seib and Josh Bray all added assists. Tanner Erickson allowed ten goals on 45 shots. Mark Currie picked up the win for the Hounds. The Wings did win the fights as a consolation. Eric Calibaba on two occasions beat the crap out of Roy Farrer. Michael Seib did a number on Kyle Ireland (I believe it was) before being tossed for his second fight later on with Dieter Gillanders of the Hounds. The Wings drop to 10-7-1-1 but do not lose any ground in the standings as the Bruins also lost tonight. The Hounds with their third straight win are now 5-14-1-0.
My rant - I am sure Tanner Erickson would be the first to admit he had an off game. I say forget about it and lets move on. I have seen this kid play throughout midget hockey and limited SJHL action and really believe he is capable of filling the role. I know I could hear some of the fans on him but lets remember he was only making his third SJHL regular season appearance and was maybe a little too comfortable knowing now that Kyle McConnell is out of the picture. Also, Tanner did not have the benefit of the same defensive effort that AJ Whiffen had in front of him last night. Tomorrow is another day and I a believe the Wings will lay a payback licking on the Hounds on Tuesday night.
*** UPDATE ****
Although the scoresheet is not yet available for the Wings - Hounds game, there were three other games in the SJHL that are all now complete.
In Estevan, the Flin Flon Bombers rediscovered their offense as they downed the Estevan Bruins 8-6 in a wild game at the Civic Auditorium. SJHL leading scorer Reid MacLeod added to his totals as he had a goal and five assists. His linemate Dennis Kubat had a hat trick while other linemate Pierre-Luc Boucher had a goal and two assists. Myles Masse added a goal and two assists for the Bombers. David Linsley and Brennan Cox also scored for the Bombers. Brody Haygarth scored twice for the Bruins while Niko Grose had a goal and an assist. Liam Brennan, Brennan Wrigley and Trevor Mock also scored for the Bruins with Brant Harris and Chad Filteau adding two assists each. Calvin Bartel got the win in goal for the Bombers as he stopped 30 of 36 Bruins shots. Guillaume Perusse started for the Bruins and allowed 4 goals on 15 shots before being replaced early in the second period by Karsten Felske. Felske made 16 saves in relief, and allowed three goals. With the win, the Bombers jump back ahead of the idle Melfort Mustangs for second in the Itech with a record of 10-7-0-1. The Bruins drop to 10-6-2-0 and remain tied with Weyburn for second in the Sherwood, five points behind first place Melville.
Speaking of the Millionaires, they were at home tonight and annihalated the suddenly slumping Nipawin Hawks 10-2. Michael Jordan had a goal and three assists to lead the way for the Millionaires. Brad Johnston added two goals and an assist while Matt Kinnunen also had two goals for Melville. Daniel Hope and Dion Campbell each had a goal and an assist while Jarret Fisher, Jared Waldbauer and Aaron Decorby rounded out the scoring for Melville. Kale Dolinski also had three assists. Adam Schwark and Dean Prpick scored for Nipawin. Kyle Cantlon had 21 saves for the Millionaires to pick up the win. Derek Kleinsteuber was making his first start in awhile and had a rough outing as he allowed five goals on 17 shots in the first period. He was pulled for the beginning of the second and replaced by former Notre Dame Hound goaltender Antoine Desrosiers. Desrosiers went the rest of the way stopping 28 of 33 shots. All of a sudden the Hawks are on a slide and having goaltending issues as Danny Gagne is apparenetly injured. Desrosiers does add depth to the Hawks but has had a rough start to the season himself. The Millionaires increase their first place lead in the Sherwood by five points as they improve to 13-3-1-0. The Hawks remain fifth in the Itech as they drop to .500 with a record of 7-7-0-1.
In La Ronge, the Kindersley Klippers inched closer to the fourth place Yorkton Terriers as they posted a 5-4 win over the Ice Wolves. Ryan Sawka had two goals to pace the Klippers. Casey Rempel added a goal and an assist while Mat Olson and Scott Linnell, with the game winner, also scored. Brett Leedahl and Jonathan Redlick each had two assists for Kindersley. David Lawrence had a goal and an assist for the Ice Wolves. Ryan Desjarlais, Bruno-Pierre Gosselin and Matt Smith also scored for La Ronge. Ryan Nieszner picked up the win for Kindersley as he made 35 saves. Brian Kaval was pulled after the third Klippers goal scored 6:26 into the second period. Kyle Jahraus went the rest of the way and stopped 20 of 22 shots faced. Not sure what the issue is with Jonathan Jobin. Can any Ice Wolves fans out there let me know? The Klippers are now 9-7-0-1 and only two points back of the fourth place Terriers. The Ice Wolves drop to 8-9-1-0 with the loss.
Again, once the final stats are available, I will give you a better report on the Red Wing game.
Today's Three Stars:
* Reid MacLeod - Flin Flon Bombers (six point night in Estevan)
** Rylan Schwartz - Notre Dame Hounds (five point game, easily Hounds top player)
*** Michael Jordan - Melville Millionaires (four point night in big Melville victory)
Sunday in the SJHL: Yorkton @ Estevan; Kindersley @ Humboldt. Either the Terriers will jump over the Bruins and Wings into second or the Bruins will move two points up on the Wings tomorrow night.
Next action for Weyburn is Tuesday night at the Colosseum when the Hounds pay a visit. I am sure the Wings will have revenge on their minds.

Well said Brad! It wasn't too fun to watch as a Wings fan, but at least we don't have to wait long at all to take them on again.
You can guarantee that it will be a completely different Red Wings team that we see, they are gonna be on the hunt for some revenge.
BTW,,, i now believe you about how cold that Radville rink is haha.

Actually I was warm. I was right under a heater. Wayne Lazar commented that we must have had the warmest seats in the rink. Nice to see a good turnout in Radville.

Did Erickson play that terrible? i mean in junior hockey a goalie/team should never give up 10 goals. from what i heard other than the parade of penalties by the wings in the third the play of the game was even and the wings were not given a chance to win.
I will just say he had a rough game but he wasn't the only guy that did.
- Brad M.
it was a raugh game,all Erickson needs is to settle down and move on and not let this effect his future...
FUNK STUNK!
Well thankfully Estevan lost, so this loss didn't really hurt us in the standings. Tanner should shake this one off. I mean..... 45 shots. That IS kinda crazy.
Speaking as a nuetral fan happy to see VanDesype and Calibaba playing against each other here at home in Radville.
I'd say this wasn't a great game to watch unless you like all the fights.
However other than the first period when the scoring didn't look like it would end, the remainder of the game was all ND and Weyburn had very few scoring chances or even shots.
With the exception of the second goal which may have been a screen from the wall which beat Erickson through his pads, the first 6 ND goals were scored by Hounds players standing either in or just out of the crease untouched in two occassions all alone. Erickson was not standing on his head until the 3rd period, when the game could have been even worse with ND having 8 power plays of which 2 or 3 were 5 on 3's.
Are you getting a better picture of what the game was like?
Where was the Wings team we saw on Friday night?
The Wings went from totally flawless hockey to running around like they didn't know what they were doing.
For an example:
When a Hound player for goal #5 ( Schwartz #24)can ice the puck from behind his own net and still beat 4 of our players back to score wide open in front of our net you know the team is not giving a very good effort.
The ND penalty had just ended prior to Schwartz scoring the goal.
For Erickson, I hope Tanner keeps his head up for not quiting and giving your best effort for 60 minutes unlike most of your teammates in this game.
Let's put this game behind us and come out with a great effort on Tues. against these same Hounds!
Although I agree with your post for the most part, saying Erickson gave a full effort for 60 minutes may not be fully correct. Some of the goals he gave up were as soft as they come. I wonder if the team was somewhat letdown by those goals. I am not trying to slam Erickson because I think he will bounce back but saying he gave the full sixty minute effort moreso than others may be an overstatement. Just another opinion. I respect your post and you make some good points.
erickson is a great goaltender, but as a goaltender you cannot stop everything. When you are not getting any help out front from the boys and you are playing against the ref it is pretty hard to win a game. I am positive erickson will bounce back and show he is capable of sharing the duties with whiffen. There is no need for tanner to hang his head, he played well. Keep it up erickson!!!!
Well Brad I must say I disagree with everything you say about Funk. As an offical, former player, and former coach you need to look at this game from all the angles. Cali was there to put on a show and he did a great job. Tanner VDS also did a great job at home for the Hounds. Funk knew the game was going to get out of hand. smaller ice and harder hits were exected. the ref can't see every play that happens. Just because you can see every time a player falls down Funk has a job to do that is making sure the players that are going with the play are playing clean and getting to the net to call the goal. I may be just ranting here but instead of blaming Erickson for the game or Funk think about this ref's and goalies don't score goals.
The Wings brought the penaltys on themselves. Funk called what he saw on both sides. And Brad and anyone else thinks they can do a better job lace up the skates I hear Weyburn is short refs. If everyone thinks they can do a better job prove it. Say what you want Weyburn didn't play like we all know than can.
What really angers me is anytime an official is criticized for there work people make comments like "lace up your skates and try it." Yet people will stand and critcize players, coaches, you name it all the time. I know officiating can be a thankless job but when an official has an offnight, why can't they be criticized. Now if you think he did a good job than I will disagree with you. This is why I enjoy this blog. People can bring different opinions to the table. Thanks again to everyone for their input.

Hey Guys! I looked at the score today and was very surprised. Going by the stats (I can't see the games down here on the island)I thought this would be an easy win for the Wings. Especially after the way they played their last game (from what I read). Maybe the Wings thought the same thing and took the Hounds for Granted. And we all know how that type of attitude can come back and bight you in the butt. Who knows, maybe it was just an off game for everyone. I am confident they will bounce back. They are just trying to find their groove. Forget about it Erickson, There is nothing you can do about it. Don't let this play on your mind. If you learned something from this game and get ready for the next time you are called upon you will bounce back.
NFLD Fan!
Can hardley wait till the games are broadcast on the radio.
I heard that dwight said the only guys willing and wanting to win saturday night was calbaba sibe and krukowsky for fighting and showing character
Wait.. Are the Wings having goaltending issues again? Different year same stuff.

Bruinsfan:
Yeah we may have depth issues but I would say Perusse has not exactly been setting the world on fire this year. Luckilly you picked up Felske to bail him out.
