Should be the largest crowd since the opener.
Looking forward to seeing Mason and Beljo. Hopefully both Legein and Corrente will be back tonight. I would like to see the top three lines look something like this
Legein-Swift-Caputi
Merret-Desousa-Sanderson
Bergeron-Foreman-Agozzino
I would rather have Traccito on the third line instead of Bergeron, but I doubt that will happen.
Anyway off to the game.

6-3 loss. Had the lead about half way through the third. Beljo scored the go ahead goal. Still don't get that trade.
Maroon is one the best players I've seen do far. How Philly got him in the 6th round is beyond me. He looks like an NHL player right now.
Legein returned and was the best player for the Dogs besides maybe Loverock. He had lots of energy.
Lines were
Legein-Bergeron-Caputi
Foreman-Swift-Agozzino
Merret-Desousa-Sanderson
the fourth line didn't play even one shift.
The third line has their weakest game since being paired up.
The second line stunk.
The first line was solid.

I don't think they had a full fourth line with the suspensions did they?
I agree, they only really have 2 lines, the Legein line and the Desousa line. The second line has looked terrible most games. Maybe this Snow guy can come in and improve that line.
The effort was very poor tonight. A lot of players had bad nights. Also they only had 4 regular defencemen playing and that is hard playing against a team like London.
The only good thing was the sell out crowd.

Nice crowd for this game. For a team which should brag defense as its strength, they sure looked lost in the third period. The 3rd London goal was a real break down as 93 parked in the slot with no one near him, bang its in. Is Corrente due to come back soon? Dogs are allowing way too many shots each game averaging over 40. And Lobsinger might be a welcome returnee to give shell shocked Loverock a break. Why don't they play Tracitto more? Team should watch the tape of this game.

I thought the lines did not click at all tonight. There was no chemistry what so ever. It seemed to me Foreman threw Swift off and did not really contribute all. Some of the defence line-matching was bad as well. A couple of times we had a pairing on in the defensive zone that should not have been out there and got burned. ie maione vs maroon?  ?? All in all not a good dog night. |

I still thought the game was enjoyable but agree the Dogs played bad. The game really did not live up to the hype.

Is Tracitto hurt? He scored his fair share of goals throughout the preseason and regular season compared to some of the other forwards. You'd think they'd put him in there against his old team who gave him away for a song. Just like Beljo, come back and bite you for the win.
Great crowd... something to be said about a noisy smaller arena at capacity. Its better then a 6000 seat arena half full. I like Sarnia's new arena, 4500 which I think is the OHL minimum.
