Brantford Bulldogs 2024 25 Season Thread Part I

[Jawk]

Really hoping Avery is good to go for the start of round 1. Testa would be nice too, to slot in on that 2nd line, but Avery really helps the depth stretch to atleast the 3rd line.

After that you can slot Nelson on the 4th line and have some more trust that they won't get pinned down and worked over.

Should definitely see Egorov tomorrow. I don't think it matters to the Bulldogs who the #8 will be, less travel would be ideal.

I think we’ll see Avery soon which will be huge. Not so sure about Testa but who knows. A lot of argument that we only have one scoring line, and yes, they’ve scored a lot, but it’s great to see some of the other lines coming to life. Last 6 goals aren’t any of your usual suspects (aside from the Vanacker PP goal) and only 1 pp goal at that.

Budnick
O’Donnell
Tsherna
Vanacker (PP)
Jiricek
Krmpotic

That being said, hope our top line and pp don’t run into a slump and can keep rolling once playoffs start, along with production from the other lines.

Congrats to Krmpotic on his 1st OHL goal and to Leenders on his 1st SO as a Bulldog.

Avery and Testa back in.

No Lardis, Thomas, O'Brien, Hamara, Jiricek, or Leenders.

Question from my 11 year old watching today’s pregame; what is the OA situation? He said 4 were thanked before the game. I assume one has been injured or was released before the OA trade deadline?

Bujold hasn't played all year due to injury.

What a welcome sight to see Avery and Testa back in the lineup to give some much needed depth.

Interesting that Rosetto has quietly become the top rookie.

Rossetto has some speed and a shot that has really helped his rookie year. O'Donnell seems more like a guy that is going to be good at creating space and plays.

Like Rounder mentioned, Bujold suffered a concussion in preseason and it was his 6th in total. Had to take the year off and the Bulldogs chose to keep him involved with the team all year.

Impressive game by the depth yesterday. Really needed a game like that to build up the confidence of the bottom 6.

Thought the new kid number 20 had a really strong game for someone making their debut.

Completely agree on Diplacido. The only thing he struggled with was thinking he had more time/space than he did. Pretty normal thing to have to adjust to.
