dlbalr Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 The Bulldogs (9-10-1-1) kick off another 4-game road trip as they travel to Chicago to take on the Wolves (10-9-2-1), affiliate of Vancouver. Aaron Palushaj (shoulder) is out 4-6 weeks, as a result, Olivier Fortier is up with the team but is not expected to play tonight. Projected Hamilton Lines: Holland - Gallagher - Blunden Bournival - Chaput - Leblanc Quailer - Boyce - Dumont Hagel - Nattinen - Stortini Beaulieu - EllisTinordi - CommodoreNash - St-DenisDesjardins Projected Chicago Lines:(based on +/- data from last game so these likely aren't entirely right) Sterling - Schroeder - Haydar Miller - Ebbett - Kassian Sweatt - Friesen - Rodin Archibald - Longpre - Gordon Tanev - Matheson Cannauton - Joslin Hunt - Miskovic Climie Puck drop is at 8:00 PM, Funny820 as always will have the play-by-play; click the banner below to listen.

JCPetit Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Am ai the only one to see a nice potential in Nattinen. He is a good skater, has a good presence on the ice and shows good, if not exceptional skills. If he keeps improving, he could make the big team in a year or two.

I have no idea why he gets so little ice time. It happened with Jodoin for the first half of last season and it's happening again this year. He's not flashy but he doesn't make many mistakes. 1-0 Chicago after 1, Darren Archibald scored with 16 seconds left in the period to open the scoring.

Commandant Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Archibald scores again. 2-0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commandant Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 St. Denis shoots and Bournival's tip scores to make it 4-2. About time they shoot the fricking puck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted December 14, 2012 Author Share Posted December 14, 2012 Beaulieu added a late one to make it 4-3 but that's how it ends. Hamilton outshot the Wolves 37-25. http://theahl.com/stats/game-summary.php?game_id=1010221 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commandant Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Beaulieu has 7pts in his last 7 games, really playing a lot better defensively too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueKross Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 I actually like how this team is shaping up. They are very young relatively speaking and on most nights not overwhelmed. Their schedule has been brutal. They have had key injuries and much of the line up has contributed. The energy line of Stortini, Hagel and Nattinen does not go unnoticed. Chaput coming in and contributing. The young defense getting more confident. This is a blue collar gang from Steeltown, how appropriate.

DON Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Nice to see grinders like Bournival and Nattinen score. Nattinen deserves better than Hagel-Stortini as wingmen. Beaulieu's chances are starting to pay off (funny that Subban said couple days ago that he didnt start to produce till after 20 games in Hamilton) , he still needs to work on his defense, but that will come with time and he just turned 20. I have been crapping on Nash, but i thought he actually played a solid game, even while being a -2. Gotta love Gallagher's shit disturbance in the crease every game (he is a cross between.Ott and Gionta). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
