Smoked meat anyone?
One night after scoring nine goals on the Hounds, the Bruins gave up the same number in a 9-0 blowout loss at the hands of the Yorkton Terriers.
While the Terriers did get some bounces and scored probably three goals that would almost never go in, this was an ugly outing for the Bruins virtually start to finish. They ran around in their own end, consistently got beaten by Terrier forwards, couldn't break out properly, couldn't gain the Yorkton blueline, couldn't hit the corners of the net.
It was a game where you could tell after the first period it was going to be an absolute stinker. At least that's what was going through my mind.
I guess the bright side is judging by tonight's game, the Bruins might have a bunch of world-class archers on their hands. Like Derek Tendler was saying in the press box, pretty much every shot was right at the target, i.e. crest.
Also, it looked like Taylor Reich may have scored one in the third period, but no cigar. That kind of night.
It was also a rough outing for Steven Glass, who had a couple of goals I'm sure he would have liked back in his second start in as many nights. He got the hook in favour of Brandon Stone after the fifth goal.
It's not a good way to go into a week off, especially with the team's trip to Grand Forks (UND) coming up this weekend. Then again, it's a game they have to put behind them and the trip should help with that.
Tonight's lineup was identical to last night's except for Dom Perrault, who was attending to a personal matter. Jeff Bartel drew in on the back end.
