Brantford Bulldogs 2024 - 25 Season Thread, Part I

[Jawk]

Been awhile since I've been to a live game (thanks Jawk) and boy do I miss it.

Great job by the boys gutting out a win. Didn't see that coming at all.

Somebody had their shoulder in a sling in the press box, but I couldn't make out who it was.

Only 3 regular D in the lineup against a powerhouse Generals team and getting a win is beyond impressive.

They can't have much in the tank for tomorrow, but they can worry about that tomorrow. 4 out of 4 pts is great for them.

Holmes didn't come back after his fight.

I didn't even watch it. I have a bunch of unexpected work going on at my house. Super frustrating and time consuming. Last night I actually got to bring my dogs home from my in laws. No way I was getting to Simcoe and back and then to Brantford in time. Hoping to get to go tonight.

Glad to see the boys were able to pull it out.

I was a season ticket holder for years and it was one of the most entertaining regular season games that I have witnessed. 2 fights in the first 5 mins, physical play, a penalty shot (Hamara missed) and a crazy comeback.

Cole Brown has always been a frustrating player to watch because the talent is there, but sometimes he just floats and disappears. He may have turned a corner this season though. Much more consistent.

The parade of 1st rounders that Oshawa puts on the ice really exposed our bottom 3 Dmen though.

Game reminded me of when the AHL Bulldogs played 3 games in 3 nights. Not much left in the tank, not too surprised at the result but I thought they played with effort despite the tough spot paired with the injuries.

Good to see O’Keefe back, always nice to see a player from the champ team in the lineup even if it’s for a game.

As we inch closer to December has there been an update on Vanacker’s return?

Keep hearing the same thing.

Soon.

Really hope they get some bodies back.

With 3 straight road games vs Oshawa, Barrie and Kitchener they could use them.
