The
Chicago Bulldogs attempted a late comeback, but
ultimately, ran out of time in a 7-6 loss to the Tops
this past Monday night at The Edge Ice Arena.
Joey
Koehler scored the first period’s lone goal for the
Bulldogs when he beat the Tops net-minder at 14:23. The
Tops would take the period though, capitalizing on key
defensive errors from the Bulldogs and getting two goals
past Bulldogs goalie “Martinez”.
The
second period was not just a defensive collapse by
the Bulldogs, but some major lack of hustle to the
puck. Defenseman Joey Koehler did keep it close
adding his 2nd and 3rd goal of
the game, while Ryan Scanlon score a goal of his
own. The Tops also took the second period with the
help of two power play goals.
Being down by only two goals the Bulldogs rallied in
the third and made it close. A goal from Frank
Lionello and a short handed goal by Captain Joe F*cking
V., but in the end they would have to settle for
another 1 goal defeat.
Joey
F*cking V commented after the game, “Some of us are
getting tired of the losing, but really we are
beating ourselves. Not to mention players not
showing up or calling in at the last hour that they
will not be at the game”. Joe continued, “Example,
Maher was not there, leaving the team unaware on
when and where to send it during the game”.
Lionello who scored his first goal of the season
missed a key opportunity when he missed on an open
net situation. “I guess I just couldn’t deliver the
pizza” he commented.
After the tough loss the Bulldogs are in search of a
new Head Coach. Seth Karim has already submitted his
resume, but the Bulldogs Management feels that three
brothers on the bench are more than enough. Coach
Jules in the meantime will be move into a
consultation role as he needs to be kept on the
payroll in order to avoid an affirmative action
lawsuit.
Notes- the Chicago Bulldogs have called
up Ted Markos who has been playing with the Lomas
Verdes Falcons in the Mexican Hockey League. Since
2006 Markos has played 31 games with
the Falcons and has compiled 1G, 12A and 116PIM’s.
As a Bulldog Markos played 10 games while compiling
9G and 8A. Marko’s will return to action in
December and is expected to report to the Bulldogs
management team as soon as we able to sneak him
across the Mexican border.
The
Good:
Scoring goals is not the problem with the Bulldogs
this season.
The
Bad:
-
Hustle:
Once again these overweight pre-Madonna's seem to be
losing the battles on the ice for the puck. Bet
if it was a ham sandwich instead of a puck they
would be all over it.
-
Defense:
This has been a problem since the first game of
the season. Overall the defensemen are not
communicating and the position is becoming a
revolving door.
-
Goaltending:
Needs to be more consistent, especially in close
games. Martinez is currently trying different
pre-game preparations.
The
Ugly:
-
#1
of the Tops:
Overall a good game played by both sides, but
there is always someone or somebody trying to be
smarter the the rest. Warning to all teams.. Wear
your Cup, this nut grabber seems to target your
private areas with his stick.
