Quick Summary
Alta: A. Thacker (01:09 1st) , A. Hall (11:18 1st)
Man: J. Hooker (03:41 1st) , L. Brennan (02:22 2nd) , S. Bruce (08:51 3rd)
Goal: Alta: Kruger (24 shots, 21 saves), Man: Kieper (33 shots, 31 saves)
The Bisons bounced back to gain a split on Saturday afternoon, and with this outcome both the Bisons and Evil Monkeys have leapfrogged MacEwan in the CW standings. The Bisons did their usual line shuffling, but the only players added to the roster were (as usual) Zach Turner on the blueline and Ethan Dekay up front. Since the Willick/Coyle pairing did so well on Friday night, it was Sam Borschowa exiting the defence. Andrew Boucher came out of the forwards. The goaltending rotation seems to be a year-end thing. Since all three have similar junior credentials, that makes some sense as the team has to now have one eye on next year. Alberta's lines were unstable on Friday, but things were more regular on Saturday. Here's how they lined up:
MANITOBA
Goal:
30 Kieper (34 Plowman)
Defence:
13 Brenton - 8 Toth
4 Bonni - 6 Coyle
27 Turner - 22 Willick
Forwards:
9 Alarie - 20 Zaplitny -17 Bruce
21 Pasternak - 18 Hooker - 24 Brennan
23 Lane - 19 Arpin - 14 Swetlikoff
25 Dekay - 29 King - 28 Behun
Scratches:
G: 31 Holt
D: 3 Borschowa - 5 Bielik
F: 10 Bouvier - 11 Purdom - 16 Joss - 26 Boucher
No longer on roster: 12 Trimble
ALBERTA
Goal:
30 Kruger (1 Lawczynski)
Defence:
27 Yakimchuk - 5 Davidson
4 Gustafson - 19 McGregor
25 Dewitt - 52 Belcourt
Forwards:
12 A Hall - 9 J Hall - 36 Ruptash
29 Pacheco - 23 Tkach - 26 Popwich -
20 Lamanna - 8 Boyko - 17 Thacker
16 Joly - 18 Duguay - 14 Melnyk
Scratches:
G: 31 Sim - 35 Barwick
D: 3 Sexsmith - 7 Pederson - 22 Thornton - 24 Ward - 40 Liberman
F: 13 Visser - 29 Pacheco - 64 Ruiz
The TSN Turning Points in this game were the two-man advantage power plays each side had. At 8:23 of the 2nd period, Caden Zaplitny took a 4-minute penalty, then Ben Bonni took a minor at 11:00 minutes. However, after going 3-for-5 on Friday, and scoring once more on a 1st period PP, the Monkeys couldn't cash in.
The Bisons, however, had overlapping powerplays 8 minutes into the 3rd period and Skylar Bruce converted a tic-tac-toe passing play from Dawson Pasternak and Captain Hooker to give the Bisons a 3-2 lead they would never relinquish. It was his 8th of the season.
Earlier, Hooker and Lucas Brennan both scored their10th goals of the season for the Bisons. Hooker also had his 10th and 11th assists, and Pasternak had his 18th and 19th assists.
Matthew Kieper made a couple of 5-alarm saves in the Bison goal. I suspect that they will keep the goaltender rotation going for their final four games.

This one was much closer than Friday's game. After getting home from the Bison game, then watching the end of the Jets game, I had this one on my tablet. The game got off to a crazy start, with The Family Guys scoring twice in the first minute, and the T-irds mounting a rally at 1:17. In the end, things calmed down and an empty-netter put it away.

At the time he said his goal was to play with his brother, but money also enters into the equation as well. All things being equal (which they are not) I would bring him back if we ever have the chance.

Last post by M.O.A.B. - Today at 02:26:18 AMQuote from: Cool Spot on Today at 12:31:17 AMBetween Demski, Wilson, White, Sterns, and Wheatfall, the Bombers probably have all they really need at receiver (relative to their budget) considering they also have Oliveira at running back who - as he showed last year - is also a threat in the passing game.
At this point, at least on offense, I think the Bombers should be focusing more on their O-line, and plugging gaps on Defense.
Sterns and Wheatfall are pending FA's so there's a chance that they not be back.
Plus we need to do better.

He never really got into Wpg. anyway, don't think he cared much when he left.

Last post by Jesse - Today at 12:11:02 AMQuote from: Throw Long Bannatyne on January 31, 2026, 09:31:11 PMTrue, White won't have pressure to become the star receiver and he has a good group to work with so he should be a great complimentary piece. I expect Walters to sign one more experienced receiver and hope he's from a different mould than all the others.
I don't know, we can't buy every position in FA. Seems par for the course to have one spot filled internally. Otherwise, what do we have scouts for?

Nope. He left to the highest bidder and nothing has changed.
Quote from: Blue In BC on January 31, 2026, 09:37:25 PMHis brother isn't a free agent but if he was I'd try and bring him back. We don't have a CB returning at the moment. Yes he'd be expensive and that's the downside.
Exactly, he's not a FA. And even if he was, I doubt much has changed from the Bombers' perspective. We have many highly paid position groups. We need to be able to rely on our scouting to fill in the gaps - corner is always where we try and save money.
