The Humboldt Broncos are headed to the Credential Cup Finals once again thanks to a solid 3-0 victory of the Flin Flon Bombers. The Bombers couldn't be blamed for a lack of effort in this game as they came out firing in the first period. 16 shots made there way to Taylor Nelson who has been a freak in the Bronco's net during these entire playoffs and season (more on him later).
After weathering the storm it was Radville, SK native, Tanner Vandesype who would score the only goal the Broncos would need at 6:22 of the second period. Laurent Benjamin would add another goal late in the period to make it 2-0 heading into the final frame.
Humboldt didn't give the Bombers much room for a comeback as they controlled the majority of play in the third before Benjamin would add an empty net goal (2nd of the night) to seal the deal and end Flin Flon's season.
Taylor Nelson of the Humboldt Broncos finished with 38-saves in all as he blanks the Bombers for the third game in a row and has reached an SJHL record with a shutout streak of two hundred, twenty-four minutes, and fourteen seconds (224:14) and has lowered his miniscule playoff GAA to 1.35 and his SPCT now increases to .947.
Nelson breaks former Yorkton goalie Kevin Dziaduck's playoff standard, which was set in 2004-05 at 203:51.
Nelson already owns SJHL records for most career shutouts, most shutouts in a season, and lowest goals against average in a season.

heehee afrobomber 4 straight, not much of a series huh?
it was a great series! far closer then the sweep indictates. If our boys could have gotten a bounce here or there they could have swept the series 4 straight too. Except for the 7-1 loss, but that was due to very poor reffing. Just wait till next year when my team sweeps the wings 4 straight in the finals. That is if the wings can get there. Then we'll see whos talking.
excuses excuses, bounces/poor reffing...your team only scored 1goal in 4 games, Humboldt blew you away face it.
We'll see what happens next yr.
You seem pretty confident in your team "sweeping" everybody.
7-1..2-0..4-0..3-0..lol
Kindersley beat Weyburn out because they have slightly quicker team & were the better team in that particular series.
I'll admit when our team is beat not make excuses, don't tell me the Bombers could of swept Humboldt, Your just being silly!
