Blogger video player's still a little goofy and I've got a feeling many people don't sit and wait 2 minutes for the dang things to load. I did post today's East Central 9-Man Report with Fort Qu'Appelle Marauders Coach Kevin Baron. It's available on the High School Football page. But, like old times, I'm gonna write out today's Millionaires' Coach's Show with Jamie Fiesel. Here goes.
CS: Coach, a 5-3 win over Melfort last night, and 2 wins over Yorkton this past weekend. Three fairly similar games where you had to come from behind in the third period each time.
JF: Yeah, you know I like the wins right now, they're important for us. I think our game's slowly getting better, and we're doing more things we like to see, but in the end, coming back in the third period three times in a row, it's just hard on my hair line is what it is.
CS: So that's why you're going a little thin up there!
JF: That is exactly why, and the guys know it, they were laughing at the end of the game that they're doing it on purpose. But we're finding ways to win and that's important right now. I didn't like how we played in Yorkton I think we were lucky to come away with a win, we were out-shot. At home, we had phases where we played well, but give Yorkton credit, they were in the game and could have easily taken points out of both games, we found a way to win. Then last night I felt we had a lot of chances again and played a little better, each game we're getting a little better and the important thing is we're getting those wins which are so important in the end.
CS: Travis Bosch got a seat on the bench for the first time all season last night, Riley Hengen got the start, and the win, 27 saves, how was his debut?
JF: It was good. Anytime you can come in and get a win. I think he'll feel more comfortable as games go on, and being the rookie in there on a new team I thought he did real well, especially considering we had a lot of penalty kills last night, too many if you want to win a hockey game, and sometimes your best penalty killer has to be your goalie so he stood in there well.
CS: Logan Herauf got off to a bit of slow start, but 7 of his 8 points have come in his last 4 games, he had a great weekend against Yorkton (5 pts), and last night as well (1 goal).
JF: He's a type of player, we know he has a lot of skill. He's working hard to try and pick up other areas of his game. He's the type of guy who anytime, he can burn you. You won't see him for a while, and then all of a sudden he'll have the puck and it's in the net. He had a wide open net on a powerplay last night too and hit the crossbar. He's a dangerous guy, he can put pucks in the net and he makes plays for us, and those kind of players we need.
CS: At the start of the season, you were thinking mid-October for Terrence Jorgenson, and today's exactly the middle of October, is he close to coming back?
JF: He's close, but it's not gonna be this weekend, but next week, we've got a bunch of games again, he might be able to step in. With (Jordan) Reeve, he's another guy we're waiting on, his progress is a little slower. He's kind of like those Saskatchewan Roughrider fibula guys, and not healing quite as fast as we'd like, so we're going to be cautious with him. Maybe Terrence can get in next week, but we're going to take it day by day.
CS: Way up north in Flin Flon for two Friday and Saturday. It looks like a two horse race in the Itech, almost a one horse race with Humboldt pulling away, but Flin Flon's certainly right there, they just got Reid MacLeod back, so it looks like a dangerous team you're going to see.
JF: They're a very dangerous team, and in their building, we've had success up there before, but last year we went in there and both times had leads in either the first period or second period, and within a 10 minute span basically got blown out of the rink. They're an explosive team, their fans get going and they get going, it's hard to stop the bleeding. We're going to have to play a 60 minute game both times up there to get points, it's a big weekend for us. The tests don't get much harder than in Flin Flon. It's a good time for us to be tested again, take our big record on the road and see if we can get some points.
