AJ Jakubek and Dave Schreiber did the call on TEAM 1200.

AJ did a pre-game interview with Killer about last night’s game. Killer felt the team played well in the first period, then sat back a bit in the second and third. Overall, it was a good effort. Killer said that Hulit played well. They put him on the PK because that’s what he did with Oshawa. He was solid in his own end. He’s a big kid who the moves the puck well. The fourth line had a good night. They played in the opposition’s end, so they didn’t have to depend on the defence. They ended up scoring twice. Lahey and Wharton are both out with the flu. Mancari will probably play some defensive shifts tonight.

General notes on the game:

Tonight was Belleville’s teddy bear toss, and Brophey got the first goal at 0:59 of the first period.

At the end of the first, Schreibs said it wasn't a good period for the 67s. They looked like they were "skating in cement." Belleville dominated most of the period, with Guadagnolo keeping the 67s in the game.

Bonello drew a penalty, which resulted in the Colbert goal.

Hulit scored his first goal, “a beauty; goal scorer’s goal; top shelf, right corner” according to AJ.

Sounds like the Bulls outworked the 67s. The 67s “Lacked effort; Played better in the second; Didn’t get a whole lot out of the veterans.”

And of course, with Guadagnolo in nets . . . well, they never win with him in nets. (Which I don’t get at all.)

Attendance: 2905.

OHL Three Stars: 1. BELV - 26 Connor Cameron, 2. BELV - 9 Cody Thornton, and 3. BELV - 17 Matt Beleskey

Next up: Toronto at the Corel Centre. Please, I pray, do not let St. Mike’s score a goal. I know this is asking for a lot, but I hate that blasted horn when it goes off for the other guys.
