Dogs host Express on "Teddy Bear Toss" Night, Tom's East Coast Road Trip Diary....#4

The Dogs are back at it tonight on Teddy Bear Toss night at the Pound as the Coquitlam Express visit for the first time this season.

Something has to give tonight - the Dogs have lost three in a row, the Express have lost seven. They are actually winless in eight going back to the 3-3 tie these teams played to on November 14th in Coquitlam, so you never know.

Hopefully someone on the officiating crew is looking at the clock tonight ;)

Heck, while I'm at it, lets just hope the Dogs don't get - or in the eyes of the officials - "earn" the short end of the penalties tonight.I'm getting tired of this team repeatedly ending up on the wrong end of the penalty stick for more often than not "playing hard" They don't play undisciplined and they don't play lazy with their sticks - as a rule.

The fact that they struggle to score goals shouldn't mean that they by default deserve more penalties, should it?

Judging by some of the calls over the last little while, I'm starting to wonder.

Everything is magnified when you struggle to score I guess, including poor officiating.

Catch the pregame show tonight at 6:45 with the puck drop and the play-by-play to follow at 7:00 on 93.3 The Peak FM at www.933thepeak.com with Rick Schievink and myself.


Tonight's second intermission feature guest is former Bulldog Daniel Moriarty, now at Harvard.

Don't forget to bring your bears or buy bears to support the Bread of Life:

Beaver Creek R/C's Teddy Bear toss is this Saturday at the Bulldogs game vs.
Coquitlam. Fans can purchase two sizes of Bears for $8 or $5 at Beaver Creek
Home Center, Beaver Creek R/C, Alberni Chrysler and Alberni Toyota. All
proceeds from the sale of the bears go to the "Bread of Life". 

Bulldogs Educational Advisor and local educator Tom McEvay is currently on the road, reaping the rewards of his many years of dedicated volunteer service on behalf of the Bulldogs organization as he travels up and down the Eastern Seaboard to catch up with various former Bulldog Players that he helped move on to the NCAA level.


This will be a series of postings to try and keep up with Tom's travels as he lives my personal dream - an extended roadie to follow the game of hockey!

I have encouraged Tom with his BlackBerry and camera to snap us pictures of everything - planes, airports, hotels, rinks, college campuses, the players themselves, and any other interesting sights and sounds so we can attempt to go on the trip vicariously through Tom. With Tom's fearless and gregarious personality, who knows what he will see next!


We will also catch up with Tom on the phone in the coming days for some updates that way as well. Hopefully you the fans find this as neat as I do!
