March 18th,
2008-
The
Chicago Bulldogs and Fighting Squirrels are headed in
opposite directions. As the one team looks to be having a
successful season the other looks more like a mite team
in disarray, with several whiner’s and cry babies.
The
Bulldogs did get a scare by the winless Squirrels as
several Bulldogs decided that celebrating St.
Patrick's day was more important than keeping the
Bulldogs winning streak in tact. The hard-core
veterans (basically the guys with no date's on a
Saturday night) did show. With seven players, one
goalie and none of them having much experience
playing defense they played on.
The first
period was interesting, as the Fighting Squirrels
amazingly tall goalie was nowhere to be seen. For
almost three minutes of the 1st period
the Bulldogs should have had a had trick by someone
on team, but instead the Squirrels were tied with
the Bulldogs 1-1 while another goalie was getting
dressed. At the end of the frame it appeared the
beginning’s of a upset as the Bulldogs were down
2-1.
The
Bulldogs did manage to settle down on Defense in the
second while Martinez made some keys stops. The
Bulldogs owed the second getting goals two goals
from Scanlon and one from Farias.
The third
was also dominant till near the end, when Martinez
gave up 3 unanswered goals in a one minute span.
After the third goal, the Bulldogs called a time out
to kill the moment and get there heads together.
They were able to finish off the Fighting Squirrels
scoring five goals in the third alone (Scanlon,
Karim and Lionello) and finishing the game beating
the Squirrels 9-6.
“We
gave away the 1st period” said Captain Joe
Van Grimbergen “ and we almost did the same in the
third”.
Scanlon
who scored six goals was happy with the end result
but also noted the absence of some players did hurt,
“We need these guys to show, two weeks in a row and
some guys are missing, then again more beer for us
at the end”.
Farias
leaving the locker room tired made a brief comment
to reporters after the game, “I am getting to old
for this sh*t”.
The
Bulldogs return to action Tuesday March 18, against the
second place Iradd.
The
Good:
-
Offense-
Several Bulldogs stepped up and came through big
when the team needed them the most. Good job boys.
Defense-
Shaky, but good enough for the win
Goaltending-
Great second period..
The
Bad:
-
MIA's-
All I have to say is show up with your fines next
games.
The
Ugly:
-
#10 of the Fighting Squirrels:
Your name is not even worth mentioning, its no
wonder you wear a shaded visor, you must be hiding
your butt ugly mug, let me guess, you have no
pictures of yourself on your myspace right?
