G - Devin Buffalo: Flin Flon Bombers

Bombers on the warpath! Hopefully he gets a look from the NCAA and continues his development.
Great to see the SJHL get some recognition too. Good prairie hockey league.

Looks like he's committed to Dartmouth for the 14-15 season. Really hope this kid makes it to the show one day.
Why on earth would you think that?
On a serious note, does anyone who has seen the man play have comments on his ability? Is he an NCAA calibre guy?
Sorry to any locals, but I still am unable to read the name "Flin Flon" without flinching. Seriously, how can anyone give any place a name as silly as that?

The town comes from the name of a character in a novel, the name being 'Flintabaty Flonitan'. A prospector found it near a mining claim and named the town after the character, shorting the name to Flin Flon.
Seriously, google is your friend and the town's name is quite well respected both in the community and in the province.
And yes, I've been there numerous 100's of times.

on a more serious note, this city cranked out 2 nhl superstars in the 70s. bobby clarke and reggie leach. i did see buffalo play, game 5 in humboldt. oh he is a good goalie, that is true. without that kid humboldt would have destroyed flin flon without breaking a sweat. 3 of the games went to o.t. with humboldt winning 4 games to 1. can buffalo play ncaa. he most certainly could. who ever nabs him, is gonna get themselves a good goalie. you guys need to travel more, their are thousands of cities-towns with funny names. in the southwest part of my province their is a town called, Love. and further south is a town called, Climax
and Climax cranked out former bruins #1 pick, Gord Cluzak. sadly Love did not crank out any nhlers.

that series was tighter than 4-1 indicates, buff was unreal in the playoffs, he started the season on fire, kinda cooled off, but came on hot when it was most necessary
hes not the biggest guy but has really good reflexes and improving his rebound control by leaps and bounds, he still needs work on his positioning and consistancy but he has a few years of college to tweak that down
over the last few seasons the league has cranked out several good quality goalies

Pretty sure Climax cranked out every NHLer.
Four of those goalies on that list have played for the Bombers in the past few years, too; including Chubak, who's up for the Hobey Baker.
The Flon has been quite a goalie factory lately.
