They just can't get healthy.
He didn't have a big night statistically, but having Vanacker back makes guys like Lavoie look so much better because he creates space with his speed. It gives them 2 dangerous lines.
The Oshawa announcers are great. I was laughing when they said the Bulldogs still had their #1 PP out when they were up 4 with 12 mins left.
2 things-they had 2 16 yr olds on the ice (Rosseto and O'Donnell), so not their #1 unit. Also, only a week ago the Bulldogs came back from 3 down with about the same amount of time left and won.
Huge win. The schedule is TOUGH leading up to Christmas.
There was a fire they’ve been lacking, last night. It was good to see and much needed with the upcoming stretch.
It’ll understandably take Marek some time to get into game form, but like you said, his presence is already impactful.
Noticed that with the announcers and had a chuckle, they likely saw Lardis and Hamara and didn’t notice the young guys circling down low.
Team has definitely had their challenges early on, but hoping this benefits them in the long run. Guys are getting more minutes that otherwise wouldn’t have without the injuries, they’ve been forced to mix up the lines, and others have been forced to step up. Confidence and strength are starting to show through.
Hopefully they can get through the next few weeks with some big wins and carry the momentum into the new year.
