This was not the same Bulldogs team that played the previous night. The Bulldogs got spanked 9-2 by the Brooks Bandits. This will be the final time the Bulldogs will face the Bandits in regular season play.
Parker Lalonde scored for the Bandits to make it 1-0 at 5:37 of the first period with the assists going to Ethan Beyer and Logan Sawyer.
Kody Willick tied the game up in a tight spot getting a nice pass from Carter Cormier. With the other assist going to James Johnson.
I don’t know who was suppose to be covering Logan Sawyer but nobody was for some reason. So he walked in and rifled one up stairs to make it a 2-1 Bandits game at 10:26 of the first period. The assists on the goal went to Parker Lalonde and Quinn McCall.
Nathan Free makes it 3-1 on a wrap around goal with the assist on that to Quinn McCall.
Shots on goal in the first period were 10-9 Brooks.
Brooks opened up the flood gates in the second period and scored 5 goals. 2 were spitting images of Free’s wrap around goal in the first period. One was short handed. When the teams were done the period it was 8-1 for Brooks. The Ukrainian kid got a pair of those goals.
Kody Willick got into a fight against Keith McInnis getting both of them booted. Which in reality as good as that McInnis may be he often hurts the Bandits being in the game more than he helps them. Tons of penalties filled the rest of the period. It was very difficult to watch.
Shots in the second period were 17-7 for the Bandits
Dakota MacIntosh makes it an 8-2 game at 1:35 of the third period while on the Power Play. Assists on the goal went to Matheson Mason and Ryan Neumann.
Nic Degraves scored for the Bandits to make it 9-2 on the Power Play.
Shots on goal in the third period were 13-12 for the Bulldogs. The Bandits outshot the Bulldogs 39-29 in the game.
Johnny Hicks made 27 saves on the 29 shots that he faced for the win for the Bandits. Gabe Gratton made 30 saves on the 39 shots that he faced for the Bulldogs.
Three Stars of the game were probably all Bandits.
Attendance in Brooks was 1165
Bulldogs next game is March 16th against the Okotoks Oilers in Blackfalds at 6pm. That sheet I think is wrong.
