Nothing changed from the last four games these teams played. Nothing at all except Garrett Fuller played like a normal goalie. He did not play bad. It wasn’t his best night but he played like a normal goalie. It was predictable this game. Once Drumheller got down, they started bickering amongst each other, they played worse, they lost.
Just 31 seconds into the game Brendan Ross scored his 6th of the post season from Jason Sidem. Then at 12:08 of the first period Ty Whitford tied it up for the Dragons with assists to Ryan Henderson and Adam Raesler which makes it a 1-1 game.
On the powerplay just 2:35 seconds into the second period Brendan Ross got his 2nd of the game and 7th of the season from the slot to make it a 2-1 game. Just over 20 seconds later Jack Plandowski made it a 3-1 game from Jake Geraci and Kody Willick. Bulldogs kept firing and Brett Meerman made it a 4-1 game on the powerplay at 11:08. With assists on his goal to Tanner Willick and Jason Siedem.
Kody Willick made it a 5-1 game at 13:23 of the second period with assists to Otto Hanson and Jack Plandowski. That was the end of Garrett Fuller’s night. So Drumheller put in goalie Manny Panghli. Who by looking at stats sheets has only played 4 games this year and none appear to be in the AJHL or even seem to have happened since December. He seems ready and primed to go👍 With 3 seconds remaining in the second period Kody Willick notched his second of the game from Tyler Teasdale and Kasey Hiemstra. 6-1 Bulldogs lead going into the third period.
Easton Adrian scored for Drumheller at 8:17 of the third period to make it a 6-2 game. Cyle Clayton and Sam Simard got the assists on that power play goal. The Village People were not as loud as normal for that goal.
Kurt Gurkan made it 7-2 at 12:06 of the third from Brett Meerman and Tyler Wallace. To finish off the scoring for the Bulldogs Jack Plandowski got his second of the night at 18:45 on the powerplay from Kurt Gurkan. This makes it a 8-2 game. Good times were had by all, especially Drumheller.
Other Notes
Bulldogs next game is Sunday in Drumheller at 5pm.
Attendance at the Eagle Builders Centre in Blackfalds
Three Stars 1) Kody Willick 2) Jack Plandowski 3) Brendan Ross
Layne Loomer and Jayden Joly are out with shoulder injuries. Connor Dick is suspended. They went back in a time machine to look at his suspension. Ridiculous. Thats Clown World Banana Republic crap.
Ty Gordon was a call up in last nights game and looked great. I seen they were trying to feed him for a goal at the end there. He will score many goals at Eagle Builder Centre so not getting one that night isn’t that big a deal.
