It's been a long, long time since I used this blog, but I've decided to try and keep as up to date with the Bulldogs season as possible this year. So, starting in Sept I am aiming to have at least weekly updates, possibly more depending on time.
It's going to be a very interesting year for the Hamilton Bulldogs, that is for sure. A lot of last year's team is gone and we're going to see a lot of new faces in Copps Coliseum this year. We're still about 50 days away from the first home game (Oct 17th for those counting), so the lineup isn't anywhere close to being confirmed. Having said that, I'm going to try to take a look at some of the new additions and departures before we reach that day.

Did you watch the AHL All-Star Game?
If you did, you can count yourself as one of the 71,000 people in Canada that did see the game that evening.
There were apparently 7839 people at the Ricoh Coliseum for the game (according to television reports I watched) and I found out that Rogers Sportsnet had 63,000 viewers tune into the programme across the country.
Now this might not seem like an absolutely great number, but when you consider they were going up against a Montreal/Boston game on TSN, Prison Break on Global, Ken Dryden's jersey retirement followed by Doctor Who on CBC and Corner Gas on CTV then suddenly that's a pretty respectable number on a Monday night.
Halak played the first and looked decent, allowing 2 goals. Kostitsyn had a few shots and was -2 I think. Whatever.
I don't like All-Star games. I think they are sort of silly and a waste of time, but I watched and can be counted in as one of he 63,000 viewers.
How about you?
