Dogs @ Philly (6:05 pm start)

[montreal]

Whoops forgot 2 guys in Hamilton

Beauchemin 11 1-1-2
O'Dette 2 0-0-0


And I'll add Utah's up to date stats

Landry 14 5-4-9 He's 1st on the team in goals, 3rd in pts
Thinel 10 1-3-4
Descoteaux 12 2-1-3
Chouinard 2 0-0-0


I think Chouinard is back, cause I thought he only played 1 game before (more like 2 Saperlipopettefs)

Komisarek is a freak, just when you think you got a good idea about what the man could become, he just pull out another flash of brillance we didn't see coming.

it's like you find a lizard on the street, you feed him and a year later, there is a Gozzilla destroying Tokyo and he look exactly like the little lizard from a year back...

[montreal]

The 3 stars of the game were;

1. Pisani
2. Conklin
3. Ribeiro


Ribeiro had 3 shots on goal. Komisarek 3 a's +1 and I think he had 3 shots as well.

That's probably the best way to put it.

When we drafted him: ''defensive minded monster...not much offence...somewhat fat''

mid way point of last year: ''now putting offensive numbers on the board, the fat is being turned into muscle

Now: ''looking like a potentially great offensive d-man while stile being great in his own zone and the fat is now muscle(according to Clement Jodoin)''

What's next?

I mean the fact he only started playing at age 11 makes him a late bloomer and then you know big d-man take more time than any other so when will we see Komisarek at his best? This is like his 10th year of playing hockey. Many kids that age have been playing hockey for around 15 years already.

Dogs sweep series from Philly

The Hamilton Bulldogs opened their week-long three-game road trip with a 3-1 win over the Phantoms last night at the First Union Spectrum in Philadelphia.

With the win, the Bulldogs sweep their two-game series with the Phantoms this year and move to within a point of first place in the AHL's Canadian Division.

Hamilton trails first-place Manitoba by a point. The Moose were idle yesterday.

But the Bulldogs have four games in hand.

Fernando Pisani, Jason Ward and Benoit Gratton scored for the Bulldogs and defenceman Mike Komisarek assisted on all three goals.

After a scoreless first period, Pisani banged Komisarek's rebound past Philadelphia goaltender Neil Little at 4:15 of the second to gave Hamilton a 1-0 lead.

Ward made it 2-0 with his fifth of the year while the Bulldogs had a two-man advantage at 2:48 of the third.

Gratton scored his sixth of the campaign at 12:58 to give Bulldogs a 3-0 lead.

Mark Greig scored his 10th of the season to break Ty Conklin's shutout bid at 17:03.

"We did the right things," said Bulldogs' coach Claude Julien. "Against this team you have to get the puck in deep because they really thrive on neutral zone turnovers. They're really good at it, and we made sure to limit those.

"Our power play was good and it got us two goals. Our penalty kill was really good as well."

The Bulldogs bused to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton right after the game.

They'll play the Penguins Wednesday at 7 p.m. then move on to Albany to open a home-and-home series with the River Rats.

They play in Albany Friday night and then host the River Rats Saturday at Copps. Both games are 7 p.m. starts.

The Bulldogs close out the week in Rochester Sunday at 6 p.m.

All games can be heard on 820 CHAM.

The Bulldogs had all three of the players they received from Montreal on Saturday dressed for the game and two of them played.

Forward Mike Ribeiro and defenceman Ron Hainsey played and goaltender Mathieu Garon was dressed as Conklin's backup.

Ribeiro played, primarily, on a line with Adam Dewan and Jozef Balej. Hainsey was paired with Bobby Allen.
