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.

Is Testa hurt?

[Sinbad]

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

Keep hearing the same thing.

Soon.

 

[Rounder8]

Really hope they get some bodies back.

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

Ask and ye shall receive.

Marek Vanacker is making his season debut tomorrow night in Oshawa!

 

[noahblake58]

Marek Vanacker Is back tonight hopefully gives you guys a boost tonight good luck!

 

[Rounder8]

Roberts is back, but still no Testa and now Crombie is out as well.

Chen suiting up as a forward.

Going to be playing with 3 lines tonight pretty much.

Fun to see things looking like they’re finally coming together. Even though we’re still riddled with injury.

Oshawa commentators have to be some of my favourite. They do a great job.
