[NiceDawg]

Niagara IceDogs:
2nd in the East after 37 games with 50 points, 22-9-6-0 or 0.676%
Scoring: Robertson 31-29, Jones 19-32, Maksimov 26-23
Goaltending: Dhillon 30GP 2.88GAA(8th) 0.913%(6th)

Hamilton Bulldogs:
8th in the East after 38 games with 37 points, 17-18-3-0 or 0.487%

Goaltending: Roy 20GP 3.27GAA(12th) 0.901%(11th)

Fortunately the IceDog play an away game because it is going to take a few days to air the stink out of the Meridian Centre after Friday night’s game. Hamilton plays Saturday while Niagara gets some rest. There will be no excuses come Sunday – the IceDogs lead the K9 Challenge Cup 3-1 and it would be nice to put that to rest this weekend.

Gap to First Place: 8 points (1 Game in hand)

Apparently according to matt and dj there is not change to the lineup... can someone give my some insight into why Bukacs isnt pmaying when just about every other player that was eliminated in the quarters have already played. A roster this depleted can surely use him right now

Team probably gave him the weekends games off a handful of juniors have had the weekend off to my knowledge (I didn’t look at every roster last night) if you look in the next move thread I listed all the Canadian players that didn’t play this weekend up until the Ottawa game last night and I think I put maybe 2 players from other countries cause those were the only players I knew of

Bukac isn’t playing because his flight back from Vancouver isn’t until today.

Easier to get injured when you are exhausted.
