Bulldogs on Skid Row

 

GAME RECAP BULLDOGS GEAR DADDIES Date/Time Rink 3 5 02/27/2007 IIC, Romeoville, IL

March 2nd, 2007- If you’re going to be awake, playing hockey at 9:15pm at night, you might as well put some effort into it. The most passion on the bench this past Tuesday night was shown by few Bulldogs, who were getting frustrated by the lack of positioning out there. The other Bulldogs were amazed at the skill level being shown and also amazed that someone on their team would actually put that much effort into the game.

Good thing the Bulldogs are not sponsored by a coffee shop. If that was the case these guys would be an embarrassment to caffeine. “If you’re going to sport a Bulldog logo on your chest, you better have more jump in your stride than you’re showing” commented GM, Alex Martinez. “Either that, or start looking for another team that better represents your playing style”. Martinez continued “Perhaps there's a local barbiturate sponsored team that for a small fee will place their dial-a-dope cell number on the back of your jersey”.

The Bulldogs were missing some players off the regular line-up. Did it happen to be the best? I’m thinking it may have. Tony Feeney and Joey Koehler were called up, in the mist of the NHL trading deadline to their respective NHL teams, while Mike Mancuso was in surgery for receiving the beating of his life from his wife who eventually found out what really happened in Eagle River last weekend.

You shouldn’t be too surprised to learn that the Bulldogs were out shot 37 - 25 on Tuesday night. In fact I’m surprised the Bulldogs hit double-digits on shots. The time keeper took pity, I suspect, and started counting passes. The Bulldogs would end up losing to the Gear Daddies 5-3.

The Bulldog will face the Barracudas this coming Tuesday at 9:30pm. If the Bulldogs regulars show they may have a fighting chance to keep the shot difference down in the teens.
