A gladiators entry with 'shooting stars - fireworks'!

Calmly waiting Climie!

Besieged Climie - defense hoovering?

Climie for the Stars. here he is taking a much needed break..

(sorry Ms. C. and other goalie fans: No bottles in sight ;0)

Bulldogs seemingly faster skaters, Stars had more SOG in the 1. and 2.

Being outshot by Bulldogs in the 3.

Bulldogs Nr. 51 Desharnais reminded us quite a bit of The Scrapper (Daoust) ...

Ex-Aero Shawn Belle made his presence known and got away IMO with a few 'un-noticed-by-the-referee infractions( ref: Rehmann - who, BTW, got lots of catcalls "You s... Ref", etc.). and we'll trek there again for the 3. home game...

GO STARS - bring the Calder Cup home again to Texas!
