The Vees no doubt will be out for a little revenge after the Bulldogs beat them in their own building back on January 19th by a 3-2 score when James Kerr scored the winner shorthanded with three minutes left in a tied game. So the Dogs had better be ready to do what they did in Penticton- play one of their best games of the season. Click the image below to enlarge the CHEAT SHEET for tonight.
Tonight's second intermission feature guest is former Bulldog goaltender Jim Patterson, now attending Robert Morris University and playing for the colonials.
It's amazing the little things you remember two years later. The image certainly helps...but it was the MOMENT that mattered more. Check out the great picture below by Shane Power of Lasting Images Photography of a BIG SAVE Petey made in a game in the 05-06 season. I remember it like yesterday, Ethan Cox on a clear cut breakaway.
