Mustangs blowout Bombers, shock Flin Flon faithful

“Obviously it was amazing to see an offensive outburst in this building, but to me what was most important was how we were getting those goals. There was a gutsy aspect to pretty much every goal we scored, and that’s how you become successful as a team in difficult environments.”

What may have been the most gutsy spot for the Stangs was the way in which they scored their second and third goals on the night.

Matthew Bertolin scored with nine seconds left in the first period, presumably giving the Blue and Green a 2-0 lead heading into the first intermission.

Apparently, Melfort wasn’t done yet, though, as they added another just seven seconds later, courtesy of Luke Dekay, putting themselves up 3-0 heading to the break, with just two seconds left on the clock.

While the Mustangs did enjoy the win, it’s quickly back to business, as they’re back at their home rink Saturday night when they play host to the visiting Humboldt Broncos.

It’ll be the first meeting of the season between the two, as the Stangs will once again have to bring it if they want to come away with another two points.

“We definitely wanted to enjoy the win, but we reset in the morning to get ready for Humboldt, because it’s another massive game,” Huxley added. “They’re obviously a really strong team; they’ve added some pieces and have a high-flying offence. They’ve got some guys who can put the puck in the net, and we’re gonna have to readjust after playing in a smaller rink. Overall, we just have to be ready for their speed and skill.”

Puck drop from the Northern Lights Palace is set for 7:30 p.m., as Clark Stork will have the broadcast beginning with the pregame show at 7:15 p.m. on 105CJVR and CJVR.com.
