The Yorkton Terriers blew out the Kindersley Klippers 7-0 in game two of the Sherwood Conference final tonight.
Craig Eisenhut, Jeremy Boyer, and Brenden Poncelet scored twice each for the Terriers. Robbie Ciolfi had a single. As I said last night, Poncelet is a player designed for playoff hockey. He even was involved in a fight that he won handily.
I don't think he got any points tonight, but Brant Remenda might have been the best player on the ice. His decision is making, defensive positioning, and ability to prolong offensive pressure with the way manages to keep the puck inside the offensive zone continues to impress.
I mentioned before the series that I wasn't sure how Kindersley would deal with adversity. Well, here is a taste of it. They've been outscored 14-2 in the series as they head home. Can they make this a series? They absolutely must win game three on Tuesday.
They have a significant injury too. Johnny Calkins didn't play tonight and his status for game three is uncertain.
Furthermore, Sean Cahill has not been on top of his game and Justin McDonald did have some poise in relief this evening; nevertheless he was still beaten four times in fifty minutes. Who starts in goal for them now? My money is still on Cahill, but like the rest of his teammates, he has to be better.
