Hamilton Bulldogs vs. Lake Erie Monsters

[Andy]

Monsters score again 3-0.

 

[Andy]

down 3-0 and Hagel and Stortini are out there.

I missed the 2nd period but I just think Lake Erie's playing real well.

Has there even been a time in hockey history where really aggressive forechecking doesn't pay off?

 

[Andy]

another bulldogs penalty.

 

[Andy]

4-0, complete meltdown

 

[dackelljuneaubulis02]

another bulldogs penalty.

All I saw was Avtsin pinning his man on the boards and then getting a penalty.

 

[dackelljuneaubulis02]

Lake Erie's just too good tonight. They're playing playoff hockey.

Nobody mentions but the Dogs at least play with heart. They're always hustling.

Tinordi drops the gloves

 

[overlords]

tinordi busted him open

 

[Andy]

Tinordi is intimidating

 

[Andy]

its a shame. Gallagher, Leblanc and Bournival were buzzing quite a bit this game, but just couldnt cash or make that extra pass to cash

 

[dackelljuneaubulis02]

wow that was a real pretty move Bournival made at center ice when he was flying with the puck a couple mins ago.

 

[overlords]

hagel doing stortini's ****ing job for him. Get stortini the **** out of here already.

 

[Andy]

I still cant believe Stortini played in the nhl.

 

[overlords]

gallagher wrecks connoly! lol!

 

[Andy]

Gallagher drops the gloves

 

[domdo345]

[Andy]

getting extremely chippy now.

 

[overlords]

These refs are brutal.

 

[dackelljuneaubulis02]

These refs are brutal.

was it just me or was Lake Erie getting away with quite a bit in that third period?

 

[overlords]

They got away with quite a bit in general, not just in the third. There were a few pretty obvious tripping calls that went unpunished and that late hit on quailer somehow ended up with the dogs taking an extra penalty. How? No idea.

Didn't really affect the outcome of the game, but took some of the fun out of it.

 

[Natey]

I love Stortini.

 

[Undertakerqc]

Man, the Dogs suck this year. They have no offense. But hey at least there is a bunch of young player learning their trade this year.

 

[Wats]

At least Hagel knows his role, he's got 11 fights in 23 games and only 68 PIM. 55/68 PIMs are from fights...don't bother looking at Stortini's haha.

 

[Whitesnake]

The offense is just not in the AHL right now. You just add a Kristo and the PP looks automatically better. But again, the team should have added a few AHL vets. The missed the boat there and I have no idea why. Just like I knew they'd needed some vet presence on D and they get it way too late in the season.
