Jr. Bulldogs keep rolling

One can never predict hockey playoffs but if you look at the present day situation, it is going to be exceptionally difficult to knock off the Antigonish Jr. Bulldogs for the Nova Scotia Provincial Championship and a berth in the Don Johnson Memorial Cup in New Brunswick in late April.  The Bulldogs continued with their explosive play Tuesday night in Port Hawkesbury as they hammered the Strait Pirates 9-3 and now stand 18-0-1 atop the Sid Rowe Division Standings.  Antigonish presently have three of the League’s top four point people in Fearghus MacDonald who presently leads the league with 16 goals and 23 assists after adding 3 assists Tuesday.  Sam Mattie is second with 19 goals and 18 assists for 37 points after his three goal and one assist evening.  Jake MacDonald is fourth in scoring with 6 goals and 24 assists for 30 points.  The only player not a Bulldog in the top 4 is East Hants Penguin Evan McHenry with 14 goals and 17 assists for 31 points.

 
The game in the Strait saw Jayden Muise score a pair in the first period including a power-play marker to give the Pirates a 2-0 lead after twenty minutes.  The second and third periods were completely different stories as the Jr. Bulldogs rifled off five unanswered goals, 3 from Sam Mattie and a pair from Ethan Price to put them up 5-2 after forty minutes.  The Bulldogs never slowed down in the third period as they outscored the Pirates 4-1 with Ethan Price’s third goal of the game short-handed being the final goal of the contest with 4:46 to play.  Jake MacDonald, Tyler Boyd, and Darren Waterman were the other Bulldog marksmen with Danny Gillis adding the third goal for the 7-9-1 Pirates.  The Jr. Bulldogs held a 47-22 advantage in shots.
 
Wednesday night’s game between Membertou and Eskasoni has been postponed until Monday night Feb 28, the final night of the regular season.
