Bruins trounce North Stars 7-2 to take 2-0 series lead
Right from the get-go, it seemed, the Battlefords North Stars were a step behind in Saturday’s playoff contest with the Estevan Bruins at the Civic Centre.
Coming off a tight 5-3 loss in game one the night before, the home side needed to figure out Bruins netminder Bo Didur and fix their special teams.
The problem, however, was the Bruins came out flying in game two of the semifinal series, scoring just 18 seconds in and riding that momentum to a commanding 4-0 lead. The North Stars got one back to make it 4-1 before the first period was done, but after that, things got worse, as Estevan went up 7-1 after two periods.
The final score in the ugly loss was 7-2 for the Bruins, who now take a commanding 2-0 series lead back home for games three and four.
