BULLDOGS SWEEP HOME-N-HOME WITH DYNAMOS
Posted by: The Associated Press on Thu Mar 24th 2011 8:21pm
BROOKLYN, N.Y.: Since the Bulldogs lost to the Dynamos on Feb. 16th, they’ve been team en fuego. The boys in dark, kinda navy blue have taken 7 out of a possible 8 points in their last four games and are above .500 for the first time in the season. With two games left, the team has a chance of entering the second season with enough momentum to go all the way.
Yea, I said it.
The most encouraging stat remains to be that three out of their last four games are come from behind victories proving that the team is not easy to beat and has a deep bench that is ready to skate come the third period. Last night was no exception.
Sometimes it seems almost as if the B’Dogs welcome a deficit just to make things exciting. Just two weeks earlier the Bulldogs opened up the game with 5 first period goals against the Dynamos and that’s all she wrote for that game. Tonight, now on Dynamo territory, the Bulldogs instead gave up three first period goals, and just barely missed going down 4-0 after a goal was disallowed at the buzzer.
How does a team come back after taking a shelling like that in the first 15 min. Easy. They get an inspirational pep talk from the man who’s the best in the business, Coach/Player Mike Ferri. What other explanation can there be for the team’s explosiveness after that quick 2 min break and a direction change? The motivational wisdom that must be shared on that bench is definitely something to be desired.
The effect of the pump up session was so magnanimous that the Dynamos’ goalie actually provided the Bulldogs with their first goal in a pitiful plea for mercy. Fred Harrari agreeably sent it home to get things going. Minutes later the “Bullet Line’s” center, Bvllets, broke out of the zone and fed a cross ice pass to team leading scorer Paul Weiss who sped around the far side of the defending Dynamo and roofed the puck top shelf.
“Where momma hides the cookies.” Paul proclaimed later.
The crowd was stunned.
While down 3-2 the Dynamos tacked on another goal but the Bulldogs answered right back when “The Alpha Beyda Line” pressured deep in the Dynamos zone, wearing the defenders down and striking true to bring the Bulldogs within 1 by the time the second period ended.
It was only a matter of time now. The game tying goal came in the first half of the third when John Brickner deflected a point shot by fellow D-man Mike Ferri, a power-play goal. For minute after minute following it was grueling hockey. The team leaned on goalie Andy Martinez who literally stood on his head to keep the Bulldogs in it. Well maybe not literally; but close.
Finally it was the Alpha Beyda line once again with Aaron Harrari who got the game winner with his second of the game and 8:36 left on the clock. Andy held the Dynamos scoreless in the third and Mike Ferri put the game away by safely netting the empty netter with seconds left.

B'DOGS KNOCK OVER DYNAMOS
Posted by: Mike Ferri on Wed Mar 09th 2011 5:20pm
BROOKLYN, NY: Last night the boys in dark blue routed the Dynamos with a vengance unseen in previous seasons. With practically the enitre squad healthy and on the bench, the re-engerized team blitzed early for 5 first period goals and never looked back.
"We looked like the Red Wings." Chilly Suede professed after the matchup.
Paul Weis scored 2 goals and an assist, and now leads the team in points. David Beyda scored his first two of the season. Andy Martinez had his shutout spoiled with 5 min left in the third but was happy to get the win.
"That was some of the best defending (if not THE best defending) I've seen in amateur hockey." replied Andy when asked how the defense played.
Overall the streaking Bulldogs have reached .500, with 7 points in 6 games.

BULLDOGS DOWN BOMBERS FOR FIRST WIN
Posted by: Mike Ferri on Thu Feb 24th 2011 12:23am
BROOKLYN, N.Y: This past week has been an incredibly busy week for the New York area sports press. Rumors of a phenoms’ arrival into the metro area have flooded the back pages of every major news magazine in the tristate. Finally, on Wednesday night, in the mecca of sports venues, after all the hype, NY sports fans got to experience what they’ve been anticipating all season.
The return of Charles “Chilly” Suede to the Brooklyn Bulldogs.
Charles Suede had missed the team’s first 4 games due to extracurricular hockey activities. Not too much is known about his exact whereabouts during the period, and for some time the Bulldogs brass was deeply worried about Chily fulfilling his contractual obligations. His arrival Wednesday returned peace and order to the force.
But worrying is what Bulldog fans do best. Even with Chilly’s return there was still plenty to worry about 6 minutes into last night’s game vs the Bombers. Last season’s arch rivals brought their A game early; catching the Bulldogs D off guard. Before the team could blink they were looking down a three goal deficit in front of the sellout crowd at Aviator’s B side rink.
Rob Willson (Bvllets) stepped in immediately after the 3rd Bomber goal and stopped the bleeding by volunteering himself to help back on defense. A couple of shifts later Mike Ferri shot a knuckler from the point fooling the Bomber's goalie, and put the Bulldogs on the board. Minutes later another defenseman, Jay Byrne, went coast to coast and buried the puck in the net to bring the Bulldogs within 1 before the end of the first period.
In the second period, the line of Guy Lacognata, David Beyda, and Charles "chilly" Suede caught fire. Guy scored the first goal off a rebound from a point shot to tie the game. Chilly netted the next two, taking a comfortable lead and making it 5 unanswered goals before the 2nd period ended.
Defensemen Paul Abramov and Bvllets kept the Bombers shots to the outside allowing goalie Andy Martinez to be flawless in the second and third period. By far Andy had his best game of the season. Paul Wiess, who missed last week with H1N1 returned this week and capped the scoring in the third for his third goal of the season. When the dust finally cleared the Bulldogs had their first win of the season.
