A better picture of "ThankYou Fans" on the ice

New coaches, new staff, new players, lots of new faces on both benches

Score after 2 periods

It was a pleasure to get back into the 'Pound for a good ole' hockey game again tonight! Even better, it was one of the 5 or 6 times in 4 years that I have actually been able to WATCH a game as opposed to always being at WORK when I am at a game.

Here is what I managed to grab for a scoring summary. Yes, even when I'm not working, I'm still working!

First period scoring:

1-0 Victoria Brad Reid from Cam Reid and Shawn Stuart at 8:26

Second period scoring:
1-1 Isaac Smeltzer from Evan Michalchuk and Daniel Moriarty at 10:12, on the powerplay

2-1 Alberni Marcello Ranallo from Daniel Moriarty and Isaac Smeltzer at 17:08, on the powerplay

Third period scoring:

2-2- Karl Hagg from Sean Robertson at 3:52

3-2 Victoria-Brad Reid (2), unassisted, shorthanded 6:31

4-2 Victoria-Dustin Sobchal from Jordan Kwas, again shorthanded at 10:00

4-3 Victoria-Isaac Smeltzer (2) from Matt Thompson and Joey Perry 15:16 on the powerplay

4-4- Daniel Moriarty from Isaac Smeltzer at 17:06, shorthanded

There is no overtime in exhibition. Too bad, as the Bulldogs had a power play on the clock as 60 minutes expired.

Special teams were both awful and special at the same time for both teams. The Bulldogs were 3 for 11 on the power play, while the Grizzlies were 0 for 8. The Grizzlies also scored two shorthanded goals.

Final shots were 32-31 in favour of the Dogs.

Kevin Genoe started in goal for the Dogs and gave up 1 goal in 19 shots and 28:08 of work.

Jared Anderson came in and played the second half, giving up 3 goals on 12 shots

Matthew Wong started in goal for Victoria and gave up 1 goal on 16 shots in 31:40 of work.

Alex Kwong gave up 3 goals on 16 shots coming in for the second half.

That's all I've got....Again, it was nice to be back in the barn for an "almost real" game. Don't take my stats and summary as official by any means please!
