Joni Ortio keeping the Heat in this with the PK. Good 3 or 4 saves in a row.

Heat lead shots 7-6.

[Drury18]

Adrian Foster looking good early for the Heat. Almost had a goal a few minutes in, just set up Baertschi for what would have been a good goal if Baertschi didn't go wide.

[Drury18]

Mark Cundari just crushed a Bulldog with a hipcheck in the open ice and then proceeds to destroy Blundon in a fight immediately after.

Lesson to Bulldogs: Don't #$@! with Cundari.

End of 2nd

0-2 Bulldogs

Shots on goal 19-14 Bulldogs

Hamilton with a rather devastating 10-1-0-0 when leading after 2. Abbotsford needs to really get going here.

HEAT GOAL!

Sven Baertschi. Goals in back to back games. Assist to Cundari and Foster. Foster with his first point in a Heat uniform.

1-2 Bulldogs

[PeteMoss]

Whew.. was worried the Flames system of scoring no goals was also going to be played in Abbotsford.

[Drury18]

The Heat have come out in the 3rd remembering how to play hockey. It wasn't looking good the first two periods. Was starting to think that they were watching too much Flames tape.

[Drury18]

Heat lead the 3rd period shots 8-1. Complete 180 on the teams play in the 3rd.

Just over 5 minutes left with the score 1-2 Bulldogs

[Drury18]

Sven's 3rd period goal. It appears the goalie had no clue where it went.

[Drury18]

Abbotsford with huge pressure with less then a minute in the game. Outshooting Bulldogs 14-2. About 4 chances in the last few seconds by Hanowski/Olsen/Reinhart there.

[Drury18]

Baertschi with a couple of good chances in the last 5 seconds.

Abbotsford can't get it in.

Bulldogs win 2-1.

[Roof-Daddy]

Damn.

Heat came so close to tying it late. Sven with a couple chances.

Really good third, outshooting the Bulldogs 14-3, hopefully the Heat don't start so slow next game.

Actually, 2nd in the West and 4th overall. (4th best pct. overall as well)

The Stars are only one point behind us in our division now as well, although we have one game in hand on them.
