The 'new-look' Bulldogs (28-21-8-0) look to get back to a .500 winning percentage for the first time in a while tonight as they host Adirondack (27-21-4-1), a team trying to catch them for a playoff spot. Hamilton has not fared well vs the Flames this season, winning only one of five games.

Pourier and Bartschi both gone from roster now and Shore played for Calgary last night didn't he?

I would think Dogs must be favoured in this one. Bournival and Pateryn should be a plus also.

Kinda nice Habs are playing later today and not same time as Dogs once again.

Will Carr get his 20th and Bournival spark the 2nd line?

Tangradi (9th) from Bowman and and Hensick

Lucky bounce off end boards to Tangradi in front of net for a gimmie (when you are hot you get stuff like that happen)

Was A PP goal too!

Bowman buries a "beautiful' Tangradi pass (Hensick with 2nd a)! :clap:

2:56 into 2nd and 2-1 Dogs

Lots of shots and scoring chances.

Dumont gets odd penalty, 4minutes 'Attempt to Spear'

I like that they can call that. Without seeing the play it's hard to comment but if Dumont convincingly makes an attempt to spear, he absolutely should get dinged as he should know better.

Nice job on the comeback so far. The Bulldogs are really piling on the shots too.

Is the 2 extra minutes of OT a huge sticking point for the NHLPA, to possibly adopting the 4-4 then 3-3 OT format?

Or do the owners/NHL simply like rating the shootouts get?

It is. They're concerned that the top players will really get overplayed (as you're really only running two or three units out there in the 3-on-3). At least that's what they're saying publicly.

they mentioned post game you cannot coach the 3 on 3. It's a break away contest. Goalies switch ends too making it far from the benches for easy line changes.

-some thoughts-referees (2) ok but only ok-missed a lot of picks

-Tinordi was tripped away from the play leading to the third goal. Second goal was offside by the Flames

-three posts

-Tangradi call in OT very iffy-looked like it was a follow through or some folks said the Flame player got hit by the puck and sold it as a high stick

-Dumont spear-not sure anyone saw it

-scrum in the third period in front of the Flames bench saw one of their players (on the bench) using a stick on players on the ice

-noticed Charlotte Checkers player Brock McGinn got a one game suspension for a charging incident Saturday in Hamilton that was not penalized. Noticed this a couple times this year where the league has had to retroactively make up for a missed call by a referee.

You can still work on it in practice. Whatever their setup is allows for too many breakaways. Should they go with 2 D/1 F and play for the shootout while having that extra defensive presence to help prevent the breakways? They've lost 9 games in OT now, 7 or 8 of which I believe have been in the 3-on-3 portion. Something needs to change.

agree Brian with your thoughts. I noticed Teri in the Spec sort of questioned too why Sly sat out the two Dogs tough guys while McGratten was roaming free in front of the net. There seemed to be a lot of chat between players during the warm ups (across the red line). Hensick seems to know everyone. I think McGratten and Joey Mac were talking the longest. Old team mates at Calgary??? Joey was probably being asked about that trade to the Sharks that was announced on the trade deadline shows.

ps-being the reactionary I am, I still believe in ties and hate the way the shootout and extended overtime extra points have adjusted the standings. But there is a win at any cost mentality pervading sports this century
