Hamilton Bulldogs 2013-2014

[macavoy]

This evening’s American Hockey League game between the Texas Stars and the San Antonio Rampage has been suspended due to unsafe ice conditions at the AT&T Center in San Antonio.

Texas led, 2-0, when the game was suspended with 12:01 remaining in the first period.

The American Hockey League will make an announcement at a later time regarding the completion of the game.

Crazy sh*t

This has been one of the worst winters in Texas in a while. The problem is we don't have the capacity to salt and sand. In addition we have all the tall overpasses or whatever they are called and they get pretty steep and the concrete on bridges is what ices first. They have been closing them down when it gets below zero. Then factor in motorists that have never driven on ice. There was mostly just fender benders though, didn't hear of any mass fatalities or anything.

With all the refineries in Texas, there is a huge emphasis on safety, so they tend to be overly cautious.

OH OK...I thought the problem was with the ice playing surface.

Dubnyk makes 38 saves in his Bulldogs debut, Dogs still lose 2-1.

No reason given but Martin St. Pierre is a healthy scratch today.

For those interested, the game is on Sportsnet 360.

Thomas opens the scoring with a nice snipe on a pass from Andrighetto.

 

[Habspatrol]

Dubnyk in net?

 

[hairnova]

Andrighetto has been robbed at least three times in the first period.

 

[hairnova]

Dubnyk in net?

Yep.

Dogs are just horrible. Coach should be canned after this season.

I don't get the chance to watch many Bulldogs games but they seem to be patterned after the parent club: try to win every game 1-0.

I guess Lefebvre is being groomed to become the next Therrien clone.

There's just not much on the roster outside of Beaulieu, Andrighetto, Pateryn and maybe Thomas.

 

[CaptainBolduke]

So we've given up on Leblanc?

 

[Habspatrol]

He started it!!!

Lefebvre was sending a message. I'll have the interviews of the coach and Christian Thomas up soon.

Coach will be judged on how prepared the kids are when they get called-up to the NHL...

Well, if he doesn't create an environment were prospects thrive, that's a big problem too.
