Bulldogs nipping at Stars heels

It was a massacre, a shut out for Hamilton 3 Stars 0... despite Climie doing yeoman's work on hands, knees and other body parts, trying to keep the puck out. But when defense is absent even a super goalie would be hard pressed and Climie, while very good, is no superhero goalie. Alas.

Hamilton just skated faster, badgered and peppered Climie, frustrated Dogs started fights, when a goal-presumed goal by Desharnais, was not counted. Despite having at least 9 skaters of the Scrapper Type (under 5ft 11) Hamilton was the stronger team last night!

Hamilton got on the board early and kept the pressure on through all three periods.

Beleaguered Stars goalie and some defense men around?

Bulldogs celebrating first goal

and some fights, this one caused Sawada's expulsion from the rink.

Bulldogs Sanford is not impressed with Stars offense ;-),

And The Sharks went out of contention this afternoon, a somewhat biased referee did assist the Blackhawks IMO . And tomorrow Habs vs. Flyers. If Habs loose this round, Flyers will face Blackhawks and I shall switch allegiance to FLYERS! So there!
