It was 2-1 Dogs when Johnny Rogic put the carom off the end boards past Lessard off a Luke Fenske one-timer set up by Ryan Corbiell.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The game would get a little crazy with penalties after this point. During a 4 on 4 situation Erik Cooper tipped a point shot home for his first goal to tie the game at 2-2. The Eagles then went to a 5 on 3. When one of the penalties was up Warren Muir jumped out of the box to get in on a breakaway that was stopped by Lessard. Muir would get his rebound and come out front only to be stopped again by Lessard. When the whistle blew Muir was awarded a penalty shot which caught me by surprise. Lessard would again come up with the save to keep the game at 2-2. The Eagles would go up 3-2 on an Andrew Wallace power play goal, with Mitch MacMillan being ejected from the game on a check from behind as the Dogs lost the leagues leading goal scorer for the remainder of the game. After another 5 on 3 kill the Dogs ended the period on the power play, where Kevin Ross put a slapper from the right point past Lessard for a 3-3 tie after two.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Dogs would get a 5 on 3 of their own in the third, but they couldn't connect on it. On the 5 on 4 Warren Muir got his second of the game to make it 4-3, somehow fighting the puck to the net and beating Lessard on a great hard working goal. Jamus Lane would tie it shortly afterwards as it was 4-4 with eight minutes to play.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Penalties were again a problem for both teams, with each club getting a chance to go ahead on the man advantage. Both penalty kills would hold the score at even. Then, with 2:22 to play Tyler Morley was given four minutes for kneeing for a hit on Mark MacMillan. The Eagles penalty kill would come up big with Lessard making some big stops and the Eagles doing a good job of getting in shooting lanes. The Dogs came as close as a Kevin Ross shot off the post, and another puck at the side of the net that went in but it was ruled no goal as the net was dislodged.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The game would end on a beauty as previously mentioned by big Dave Dziurzynski.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You might be able to see the video if you are on facebook, by clicking this link to the&lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/home.php?filter=nf#/pages/Alberni-Valley-Bulldogs/143435681746?ref=ts"&gt; Alberni Valley Bulldogs Group!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What a game, what a crowd!

I respect and see the opinions on both sides of the coin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I love 'em.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm not telling YOU to love them. I just said two lines up I respect and see the opinions on both sides. So hate 'em if you want to. No one is stopping you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love BC and Vancouver being exhibited to the world. I love the biggest sports show in the world being here and being able to feel a part of it. I STILL remember Calgary in 88. And I was EIGHT years old.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'll make a little guess, a little assumption that I'll never be able to prove or really know if I'm right or wrong. I bet that when the games come and the stories and excitement happens, many people on the hate 'em side won't be able to fight getting caught up in them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I liken it to all the people that voted down the Alberni Valley Multiplex the first couple of times around. Granted it was before I was here in Port Alberni but believe me I've heard about it. I've heard about it because all of the YES people and the proponents of it tell me how so many of the NO people and people who were against it - are now season ticket holders. People who come to Bulldog games, who use the facility in some way shape or form, who come and watch their children and grandchildren play. And I've heard from lots of NO people as well who say they are now on for the ride and love the facility and everything it's done for the community, even if they couldn't see it before it was there in front of them and people were fighting tooth and nail to build the thing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's hoping the Olympics will provide a positive ending that outweighs the negatives and maybe what should have been done and shouldn't have been done and what was wrong and etc etc etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's an interesting read about it from the CTV Olympics website.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Click to read &lt;a href="http://www.ctvolympics.ca/news-centre/newsid=18836.html?cid=rssrsn"&gt;"100 days until the real Olympic stories unfold"&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thats it for now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hammer&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20538509-1347043151620168984?l=hammersdogs.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hammersdogs.blogspot.com/feeds/1347043151620168984/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20538509&amp;postID=1347043151620168984' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20538509/posts/default/1347043151620168984'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20538509/posts/default/1347043151620168984'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hammersdogs.blogspot.com/2009/11/suspension-handed-down-in-ben-fanelli.html' title='Suspension handed down in Ben Fanelli hit...'/><author><name>Hammer</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15440090799639953583</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='04014100968079031808'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20538509.post-3316350044444102596</id><published>2009-11-03T16:20:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-03T16:20:13.711-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Premier orders probe after Calgary Flames score flu shots while public waits</title><content type='html'>Another one sent to me today by The Hockey News. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Your thoughts?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Hammer&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;-&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.thehockeynews.com/articles/29050-Premier-orders-probe-after-Calgary-Flames-score-flu-shots-while-public-waits.html"&gt;http://www.thehockeynews.com/articles/29050-Premier-orders-probe-after-Calgary-Flames-score-flu-shots-while-public-waits.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;Sent wirelessly from my BlackBerry device on the Bell network.&lt;br&gt;Envoy&amp;#233;

The Dogs had two players without sticks in their own end.  Kevin Ross recognized the situation and got the puck against the end boards and did what appeared to be a magnificent job of freezing the puck to get a whistle. But referee Trevor Hansen was apparently adamant against blowing the play dead even through 30 seconds of the puck not moving. Although I&amp;#39;m sure it looked different from the Langley side of the puck. The end result - a goal just seconds later that trimmed the gap to 2-1. The Chiefs dominated the rest of the period, getting two goals from Jordan Sims and a tic-tac-toe beauty from Brandon Thompson to lead 4-2. The Bulldogs stopped the bleeding with a David Dziurzynski goal to make it 4-3 into the third. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Playing their third game of the weekend, the Dogs did a great job to come out and generate chances in the third, the best of which being a Rogic breakaway that was poked by goaltender Andrew Walsh onto the stick of Matt Hatch in the slot. Hatch would have an open net but was denied by Walsh, who got his glove out from the seat of his pants to make a game saver. The Dogs would have a 5 on 3 power play in the third period to tie the game that they would certainly want back, as the Chiefs penalty kill made it look easy. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The Chiefs would kill the Dogs chances with a power play goal with 3:31 to play to make it 5-3 and that was all she wrote. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The Dogs pulled their goalie for an extra attacker in the final minute but the Chiefs rubbed some salt into the wound for the 6-3 final. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A good effort for the Dogs that just ran out of gas and came up short. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Four out of six points is nothing to hang their heads about. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Hammer&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Sent wirelessly from my BlackBerry device on the Bell network.&lt;br&gt;Envoy&amp;#233;

But 4 points out of 6 just doesn't have the same ring at six out of six does so I hope they are ready to play a full 60 minutes from because they will certainly need it against Chiefs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Langley has been sitting and waiting for the Dogs this weekend, last playing on Thursday night to a 5-5 tie with Powell River. Which is why the Dogs have to be going from the beginning. Playing comeback hockey on the end of a road trip against a rested team isn't a recipe for success.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last night's win vaulted the Dogs to 4&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;th&lt;/span&gt; in the Conference. A regulation win tonight would tie them with Langley for third.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today we'll see what the team is really made of when it comes to guts and finding a way to win. The team has been in this position before, when they went in Vernon to face the defending National Champs to end their first Interior Roadie. The Dogs started that game great and got a lead, but lost it 30 seconds later. After that the Vipers never looked back. And the Vipers were playing all weekend, not resting like Langley. While the Dogs played well and dug deep in that game, they came up on the short end.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hopefully today they can play a full 60 to come home with six points.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Catch the pregame show on 93.3 The Peak FM at 1:45 with the puck drop at 2:00pm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'll take plenty of pictures and videos of the new Langley Event Centre and post them here later.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_EiMRSOg2PkM/Su3BzS47fdI/AAAAAAAAE6c/98Vs3SmkEME/s1600-h/torch.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

Mark did a perfect job of driving the net and faking a &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;deke&lt;/span&gt; to his backhand before sliding the puck over to Mitch to score into the open net. It was 2-0 Dogs short of eight minutes into the game with Josh Mitchell and Kevin Ross setting up David &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;Dziurzynski&lt;/span&gt; on the power play. Warren Muir continued his strong play as of late as he found the net early in the second off a Johnny &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;Rogic&lt;/span&gt; power play set up for the 3-0 advantage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The game was won on a big 5 on 3 kill for the Dogs with 10 minutes go to in the third &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;where Frank&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;Slubowski&lt;/span&gt; was solid and his defenders around him did a great job to clear loose pucks to hold the 3-2 lead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next up - the first ever game for the Dogs at the new Langley Event Centre tomorrow at 2pm to finish off the road trip.

The award is named after George Percy, first marshal of the class of 1918, captain of the freshman and varsity hockey teams from 1914-17 and a member of the 1916 varsity baseball team.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After Harvard, Percy continued to show his outstanding qualities serving in the United States Marine Corps in both world wars and was awarded the Navy Cross for heroism in Iwo Jima, 1945.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As Moriarty prepares for another successful season at Harvard he continues to leave his mark on the places he’s been, just like George Percy did.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Alberni Valley Bulldogs are proud to have Daniel Moriarty as an alumnus and congratulate him on winning the George Percy Award.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hammer&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sent wirelessly from my BlackBerry device on the Bell network.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Envoyé sans fil par mon terminal mobile BlackBerry sur le réseau de Bell.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20538509-3502151266050851290?l=hammersdogs.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hammersdogs.blogspot.com/feeds/3502151266050851290/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20538509&amp;postID=3502151266050851290' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20538509/posts/default/3502151266050851290'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20538509/posts/default/3502151266050851290'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hammersdogs.blogspot.com/2009/10/beauty-day.html' title='Beauty Day, Moriarty Honoured'/><author><name>Hammer</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15440090799639953583</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='04014100968079031808'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_EiMRSOg2PkM/SuyulPgWByI/AAAAAAAAE50/v5A1nM79yqA/s72-c/%3D%3Futf-8%3FB%3FSU1HMDAwMjUuanBn%3F%3D-772591' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20538509.post-4696753890118904483</id><published>2009-10-31T14:15:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-31T15:36:46.567-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='VIDEO BEN FANELLI HIT'/><title type='text'>Video - Ben Fanelli hit</title><content type='html'>What a scary one this is.

And getting really hurt. Doesn't appear the player left his feet to make the hit. Maybe charging, maybe an elbow a little high....But what's the end result if Fanelli doesn't turn? He sure doesn't hit the boards head first.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just my 2 cents. Thoughts and prayers are with the player and his family, I'm not being insenitive to his situation. Just looking at it from both sides of it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I mentioned players TURNING and showing their backs to an on coming checker on a Bulldog Broadcast a couple games back. I even went so far as to get the video, slow it down, and watch it over and over to make sure I wasn't wrong with saying the player turned into the check.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kids - DONT TURN.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20538509-4696753890118904483?l=hammersdogs.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hammersdogs.blogspot.com/feeds/4696753890118904483/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20538509&amp;postID=4696753890118904483' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20538509/posts/default/4696753890118904483'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20538509/posts/default/4696753890118904483'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hammersdogs.blogspot.com/2009/10/video-ben-fanelli-hit-moriarty-honoured.html' title='Video - Ben Fanelli hit'/><author><name>Hammer</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15440090799639953583</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='04014100968079031808'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20538509.post-894193064740765355</id><published>2009-10-31T12:30:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-31T12:38:14.676-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Nanaimo at Victoria Cancelled due to H1N1.....Dogs visit Express</title><content type='html'>Just wow....The H1N1 is some scary stuff.

The Dogs made it 2-0 past the halfway mark of the game when they again scored a rebound off a breakaway save by Lessard.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This time it was Kevin Ross sending Trent Dorais on a shorthanded breakaway. Lessard again made the save, but Warren Muir dug the puck to Dorais who slid it home to make it 2-0. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The goal was the third shorthanded marker by the Dogs this season. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It was then the powerplay that gave the Dogs a big cushion just minutes later as Matt Hatch put a perfect pass from behind the net to Johnny Rogic in tight where he one-timed it home. Warren Muir was again in on the play picking up an assist.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The Eagles had their chances in the third out shooting the Dogs, but they couldn&amp;#39;t break the shutout as Slubowski was sharp and he was well supported. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Final shots were 28-24 Eagles. The Dogs were 1 for 5 on the powerplay while also scoring once shorthanded. The Eagles were 0 for 9.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A great start to the trip for the Dogs. Next up the Express tomorrow.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Hammer&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Sent wirelessly from my BlackBerry device on the Bell network.&lt;br&gt;Envoy&amp;#233; sans fil par mon terminal mobile BlackBerry sur le r&amp;#233;seau de Bell.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20538509-5093186726951619060?l=hammersdogs.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hammersdogs.blogspot.com/feeds/5093186726951619060/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20538509&amp;postID=5093186726951619060' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20538509/posts/default/5093186726951619060'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20538509/posts/default/5093186726951619060'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hammersdogs.blogspot.com/2009/10/alberni-valley-bulldogs-opened-their.html' title=''/><author><name>Hammer</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15440090799639953583</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='04014100968079031808'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20538509.post-6797641080715865599</id><published>2009-10-30T21:26:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-30T21:26:49.528-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Dogs blank Eagles..</title><content type='html'>&lt;p class="mobile-photo"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_EiMRSOg2PkM/Suu8iQq0DjI/AAAAAAAAE5k/rAo6P1SDJBw/s1600-h/%3D%3Futf-8%3FB%3FSU1HMDAwMjAuanBn%3F%3D-709529"&gt;&lt;img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_EiMRSOg2PkM/Suu8iQq0DjI/AAAAAAAAE5k/rAo6P1SDJBw/s320/%3D%3Futf-8%3FB%3FSU1HMDAwMjAuanBn%3F%3D-709529"  border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398615875109785138" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;Details to follow...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Sent wirelessly from my BlackBerry device on the Bell network.&lt;br&gt;Envoy&amp;#233; sans fil par mon terminal mobile BlackBerry sur le r&amp;#233;seau de Bell.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20538509-6797641080715865599?l=hammersdogs.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hammersdogs.blogspot.com/feeds/6797641080715865599/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20538509&amp;postID=6797641080715865599' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20538509/posts/default/6797641080715865599'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20538509/posts/default/6797641080715865599'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hammersdogs.blogspot.com/2009/10/dogs-blank-eagles.html' title='Dogs blank Eagles..'/><author><name>Hammer</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15440090799639953583</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='04014100968079031808'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_EiMRSOg2PkM/Suu8iQq0DjI/AAAAAAAAE5k/rAo6P1SDJBw/s72-c/%3D%3Futf-8%3FB%3FSU1HMDAwMjAuanBn%3F%3D-709529' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>1</thr:total></entry></feed>
