Caps and Grizz go to game 7, Midget Bulldogs at Provincials update..

So......Anyone heading down to Victoria tomorrow? I sure wouldn't mind checking out Game 7 between the Grizzlies and Capitals.

The Caps were of course down 3 games to 1 before staying alive with a 4-1 win at Bear Mountain Arena on Friday night. Saturday back at the BIG STICK they won 3-1 to force tomorrow's game 7.

Who is the pressure on? Interesting question. The pressure has to be on the Caps, right? Simply because if they lose, IT'S OVA.

For the Grizzlies, there has to be some pressure there as well, because if they lose it's not over but they wait until May when they will play again in the RBC. No host team wants the "backdoor" label thrown on them.

I have to pick the Capitals in this one. Don't get me wrong, I think the Grizzlies are a GREAT team, but when it comes to playoffs and game seven's especially, it's all about effort and desire and passion and etc etc etc. NO ONE is ever as motivated out there, as when they are fighting for their season to continue, and for some guys, for their careers to continue.

If the Capitals react positively to the pressure, and it brings out the good in them, they'll win. If they get tight though, the Grizzlies will move on.

In the end, the Capitals have everything to lose, not the Grizzies.

An update now on the Midget Bulldogs at the Provincials down Island. Thanks Russell Dyson for the update!


Evan it was a tough game vs the Penticton Vees today. We started with a goal each in first two minutes as we went up 2-1 but they tied before the end of the first. They scored lone goal on second. Lots of errors on our part and difficulty clearing the zone. They took a 4-2 lead and went on power play, you could just tell what was going to happen.... Dogs sprung Leo Fitzgerald free for the shorthanded goal 4-3. Unfortunately we squandered the momentum and they potted a pp goal. It ended 6-4. Catlin McLeod with two goals and Andre Savard with one, Matt Larose in goal kept the team out of trouble as best as he could. Port Moody tomorrow(today) at 11.
