Four in a row!
The Bulldogs have matched their season winning streak again and won their fourth of four in this homestand, all without the services of both Maxim Lapierre and Zach Stortini, who were called up to the Canadiens and Oilers respectively before game time.
The Bulldogs looked good this game. Really good. They dominated the Moose with their speed and, when called upon, goaltender Jarsolav Halak made some key saves to notch his league-leading sixth shutout of the year. He'd been on the bench for the past three games, all of which were wins for Yann Danis, but he looked great after sitting for the past week.
The often-frustrating Andrei Kostitsyn turned in a great performance. He assisted on the first goal, a nice power play goal by Andre Benoit, and scored the second goal of the game (which was a very pretty one indeed). The third goal of the game was a good rebounder by forward Matt D'Agostini.
It was a good game, a quick game and a surprising one as well. The Moose looked flat, no doubt partially because of all the scratches they had (I think six were announced before the game), but the win now puts the Bulldogs back into second place in the North Division, two points ahead of the Moose.
The All-Star game is this week in Toronto, so the Bulldogs don't play again until Friday in Philadelphia. There is a busload of Bulldogs fans that are part of The Growl fanclub going down for the game. I wish I could, but it's too expensive of a trip for me right now, so I hope they have a great time.
Happy birthday to our pal at the games Katherine Harris, who turns 39 sometime this week! Hopefully she doesn't get too crazy down there in Philly...
