Johnny's Ice House
July 7th,
2006-Both Eric Carr and
Darren Diamond each had goal’s while goaltender Alex
Martinez stopped 20 of 21 shots as the Bulldogs held on
to defeat the Rockies 2-1 this past Wednesday at
Johnny’s Ice House in Chicago.
The Bulldogs saw themselves
in familiar territory when only 8 skaters showed up for
the game. In years past going back to their Inline
Hockey days, the Bulldogs from time to time go through
transition period. Unfortunately for them, it’s right in
the middle of the season in a league where they have
been on a waiting list for two years.
The Bulldogs for the most
part dominated the first two periods of the game, but
had nothing to show for it. Both clubs goalies stood
tall in net keeping there teams not only in the game,
but on the edge.
After two scoreless periods, the Bulldogs caught a
break in the third when the Rockies were penalized
for too many men on the ice. The Bulldogs
capitalized and defenseman Eric Carr scored on the
Power Play.
The Rockies were desperate for a goal as the third
period neared an end. Pulling there goalie for the
odd man advantage was costly as Darren Diamond stole
the puck and scored the empty netter to put the
Bulldogs up by two goals.
The fatigued Bulldogs mettle was tested with seconds
left to play in the game after failing to clear the
puck out of their zone. Rockies “Tank Repo” scored
with a slap shot and with only seconds left in the
game.
Diamond immediately rallied the players on the ice
and reminded them to play smart and do not let the
lead slip away. The Bulldogs were able to limit the
Rockies to only a handful of chances for the
remaining seconds, leading the way to the victory.
The Good:
Hustle and lots of it, considering the Bulldogs were
with only 8 skaters.
The Bad:
NONE
The Ugly:
The Bulldogs missing out... Sh*t happens that sometimes
you have to miss a game but playing hockey hooky when
you know your team is short and has un-reliable subs,
well that
is really ugly.
