It's a weekend to forget for the Humboldt Broncos. Humboldt limpped home early Sunday morning trying to comprehend giving up 17 goals on 100 shots in two lopsided losses. Saturday's 10-4 defeat in Estevan followed a much more competitive 7-3 loss in Weyburn.

Again preaching a good start, Darcy Haugan got the same result from his team, slow out of the gates and fighting back early.

Owen LeClare opened the scoring just 1:02, that was followed by Keaton Longpre making it 2-0 before the game was two minutes old.

Going into the fourth and final meeting of the season Humboldt had outscored Estevan 13-12 in their series. They immediately responded with their own quick strike. Logan Schatz scored his ninth of the year, Trevor Posch and Chris Van Os-Shaw picked up the assists and then just ten seconds later at 3:15 Van Os-Shaw scored his second in green and gold to knot the game at 2-2. Schatz and Posch helped out, the line had two goals in the third Friday after Haugan moved Van Os-Shaw to the wing.

The defensively challenged opening minutes continued, Lynnden Pastachak gave the Bruins the lead back with Humboldt's help via penalties. The Broncos would again respond before the home side stepped it up. Daniel McKitrick converted a Connor Swystun pass with a nifty backhand on a breakaway which made it 3-3. Netminder Carter Seminuk was credited with an assist on McKitrick's team leading 14th of the year.

Zach Douglas and Keegan Allison added power-play goals in the first period to give Estevan a 5-3 lead at the break.

Douglas struck again with man advantage and Longpre added his second in the middle period opening a 7-3 Bruins lead, Laramie Kostenlansky would trim the deficit to 7-4 with a late power-play goal for his sixth of the season.

The Bruins didn't let up in third either, Darcy Deroose joined the scoring party beating Seminuk twice, Allison also pitched in with another to hand the Broncos their 20th consecutive road defeat.

Assistant Coach Brayden Klimosko with the recap in a nutshell on the post game show.

"It was ugly, we say we want less turnovers, we actually got more. That isn't good, I think I counted 32 of them tonight and there's not even turnovers during power-plays or penalty kills so really you are looking at a turnover probably almost every minute at the end of the day and that's way too many."

Klimosko added Friday night was even more disappointing because they have had success versus the Western Canada Cup hosts this season.

"If we stick to what we do and that's to defend well and not make it a shoot-out and that's what we did. You are going to lose every time against the Estevan Bruins you guys and that's just the way it is. They have the most talent in the league up front and they showed it here tonight and they made it look gross."

The last ranked power-play owned by Estevan got rolling, they were 4/7 including 3/4 in the first and four goals in their first five opportunities. Humboldt was 1/6.

Seminuk was left out to dry allowing all 10 goals on 48 shots. Haugan didn't have much choice, with starter Ryan LaRochelle out with an injury Humboldt had emergency back-up Matthew Flath from the Saskatoon Blazers on the bench. Nathan Alalouf gave up four on 21 Humboldt shots.

The Broncos will regroup and prepare for a home date with Melfort Tuesday.
