It's the final Battle of Ontario (pending a surprise playoff matchup) as the Bulldogs (31-25-11-0) look to hang onto a playoff spot for another day as they travel to Toronto to take on the Marlies (31-24-9-0). With a win, Hamilton could be as high as 7th after today. With a regulation loss, they could be in 3-way tie from 8th-10th (with the other two teams having three games in hand). It's safe to say this is a must-win game.

Yes, I am not sure exact forward group?

The first three lines seem to be correct (aside from the fact they were getting juggled late in the period). I can't recall hearing a single fourth line shift though.

Some paraphrased Dudley comments

One issue Pateryn had, Dudley said was quickness.

(I assumed he would of said, be more physical.)

de la Rose, "competent thinking defensive player", more offensive as a winger than when playing centre.

NHL goalie Condon should be sooner than later, Carr needs to work on skating/weight room, expects/hopes Dietz continues to improve and he had a "brilliant" training camp last fall.

And Hudon has been "nothing short of spectacular"

no room in top six with Pacioretty and others for Andrighetto at present, so he better learn to defend better and try in get a 3rd line gig.


Can they get 2 points today? :blush:

(Denver just scored up 3-1 in 3rd; so Didier's (possibly) start of AHL career likely on-hold for one more day at least.)

(make that 4-1, Didier is definitely and strictly a defensive d-man, but seems strong/good sized)
