They don't play in the same conference but barely two months into the season, it will be matchups 3 and 4 between the Bulldogs (12-10-5-0) and the IceCaps (11-13-5-1).

Ghetto must have not made it in time.

They only sent him down less than three hours before the game so he had no chance of making it. They were waiting on Eller getting cleared before sending him down - if not, they'd have done it last night presumably. Andrighetto will be available for the rematch Friday at least.

yep-fans and friends only. No groups. Just too many games this month and too many close to Christmas. Could have been some alternate stars. Condon was very good. Dietz probably played his best game ever as a Dog. No glaring errors.

Crisp got suckered punched by Cormier as Cormier was going to the penalty box and got a roughing penalty for retaliating. Similar deal when Pateryn was boarded and retaliated. No extra penalty to Cormier for the cheap shot when going to the bench

I guess hip checks are now illegal as Pateryn timed one beautifully and got an interference penalty. Tinordi's massive body check in centre ice seemed to get things rolling.

Everyone tonight got a free ticket for the Jan 14 game-Winning Wednesday promotion.

Finally got to meet my brother in law's best friend, Doug Gibson, who is head of pro scouting for the Habs.

Referee's Moser and Nicholson get a C grade.....inconsistent on their calls and letting the cheap stuff go.....rematch Friday should be interesting.

ps-1561 in Portland tonight. Not just us with attendance problems. Ticket prices still may be an issue in Hamilton as well as food prices---two poutines and two pops=$25.00 says it all. The greedy bastards at the adjacent parking lots have gone from $5.00 to $10.00. Just a few examples

With Tokarski down, expect him to get the start tonight. Tangradi will likely replace Bakker in the lineup while Andrighetto will either get called back to Montreal or replace whoever gets called up in the lineup. For St. John's, I'm sure Hellebuyck will be in net. We won't likely see Patrick Holland though as he's hurt.

wonder if Thrower and Dietz, the two former Saskatoon Blades will play D together? Both coached out there by the Original Dogs coach Lorne Molliken (sp?)

I doubt Thrower will play tonight since he just got the green light. They also play on the same side and seldom played together with Saskatoon.

miscommunication on the second and third Caps goals. They were able to get two or three whacks at each. Dustin didn't have a lot of help and there seemed to be miscommunication between he and the D men at times which is understandable. Sly put the kiss of death on things when in a pregame interview inferred Dustin could likely steal a couple of games for the Dogs. IMO, bringing him in only created a lack of cohesion.

Only two official shots by the Dogs in the third. I actually counted four but the shot judge is stingy on ones where the goalie doesn't have to make a big save and only has to stop or redirect a slow moving puck which no longer seems to count. I thought any shot that would go in regardless of speed counts. Oh well-nitpicking. The goal judge seems though to put shots up that are going wide but when a glove catch is made by the goalie.
