Yeah, the game was OK and Mayer played well. It's going to take more than this one game to get my confidence in Mayer, but if he get the opportunities to start and makes the most of them it certainly would be huge. Sanford cannot carry the workload all by himself.

I sit in the corner right there by the net and it looked to me like the puck did NOT go in....however, I was chatting with Derek Wills at the STH party afterwards and he says that he got a look at some video replay (probably from the in-house cameras) afterwards and that the puck deflected off the post and then bounced in and out of the net really, really fast. Can't blame the ref on this one....as I say, I shared the same opinion of no goal, but the video proves us both wrong. LOL.

OK....I just got home from the game and STH party with the players...and here is a HW scoop(not that it makes much difference, but it's some interesting information just the same). At the party, I was speaking with Engqvist and he admitted to me that he was INJURED the last game and that's why he did not play. He did not disclose the nature of the injury, but...very interesting to say the least.

They are available as far as I know...have not heard anything about any kind of a rotation system being in place. Following the game this afternoon, there is a Season Ticket Holder party. I will ask them about being scratched if I get the chance. As far as Mayer, I wouldn't be surprised to see him start today.....Sanford could use the break IMO.

The comeback was nice to see (even if they could not pull off the victory) but it was a brutal game overall. A number of goalposts and crossbars hit by Bulldogs shots did not help the cause, and the officials were terrible will some really bad calls.

Correct...I have not heard anything about Delmas really since he was assigned to Wheeling. If he can help out the Dogs, I welcome his assistance.

The Dogs are going to have to play their backup sooner or later...Sanford is going to get burnt out. We are all damned if they do, and damned if they don't.

GO HABS GO!!!

This is a home game for the Bulldogs. GO DOGS GO!!!
