The Dogs dropped their 3rd straight tonight, 3-1 at the Dog Pound to the Langley Chiefs.The above picture describes the feel for the evening, the Dogs on the PK, as they kill at 5 on 3.
A good game to watch with over five minutes of hockey before a whistle to open the game.
A great effort for the Dogs, which unfortunately fell short due to a lack of offence. Casey Bailey twice hit the bar behind Cole Huggins, once when it was 0-0, and once when it was 2-1 Chiefs with a minute to go with the extra attacker out with the goalie pulled. Ouch.
Sam Mitchell had the only goal for the Dogs, batting a rebound in out of mid air at the side of the net late in teh secodn on the power play.
Credit to the Chiefs on a well played game - not to take anything away from them they are a solid team, and a fun one to watch - but a tough loss for the Dogs as they once again had ample opportunities around the net to tie the game.
You can look at a 3rd straight loss two ways - the team is struggling, they can't score, they aren't playing well, etc etc.
Its just my opinion but I look at it the other way - if they can bring the same work ethic, emotion, intensity, desire, passion, etc etc etc that they brought tonight EVERY night, they will win their fair share of games.
Langley out shot the Dogs 33-32.
The Dogs went 1 for 4 on the powerplay while the Chiefs went 0 for 7, including a lengthy two man advantage.
