The Bulldogs still have 41 games to play this season, they are just below the .500 mark presently and can be a playoff team. All may not be perfect, but they certainly have improved during their 2nd year under Marc Bergevin's system. Hopefully the fans will get a preview of things to come at season's end.
The influx of Bozon and Thrower from the WHL, will bring some much needed offence as well as some grit, in the form of the ever feisty Dalton Thrower. From the NCAA the overdue Mac Bennett (offence & grit) + Joshua Didier a stay-at-home Dman with an edge. The OHL grads are centers Connor Crisp and Brady Vail, both play a two-way game and Crisp can keep opponents from taking liberties with his Teammates. The QMJHL sends LW Charles Hudon (feisty & offensively gifted) with Jack Nevins a no nonsense LW/C that plays hard and with Crisp & Thrower, bring a serious message to opponents, do not mess with their teammates or pay the price.
Then From Europe with Love come the snipers; Collberg & Lehkonen small but very talented and PWF in the making Jacob De la Rose. I'm really looking forward to the new breed of Habs prospects, players that come to win no matter what the cost. The Bulldogs are beginning to resemble their namesakes, with these beauties, actually more like Pitbulls. The Marlies and Monsters will have a few more tough customers to deal with, besides Fournier, Courtnall, Tarnasky, Tinordi, Deitz, Ellis and Pateryn for the playoffs and next season. Hoorah!
