<br />
That's right, I've moved my little venture from a blog about the San Francisco Bulls to a website not only covering the SF Bulls but ALSO covering all of minor league hockey!<br />
<br />
It's starting out small, and yes, there have been a few glitches, but nothing I can't handle. I'm not a big tech person, I'm not great with websites, but I can do this! And amazingly, it's fun. So, join me for all future SF Bulls blogs, as well as interviews, stories, news and pictures all MINOR LEAGUE HOCKEY at:<br />
<br />
www.TheBulllsSheet.com<br />
<br />
Blogger is a great site, so start your blog here, I highly recommend them. There will be a link on the website so you can come back and visit past blogs for as long as they keep this open.<br />
<br />
GO BULLS!<br />
<br />
Hockey Rules!<br />

<br />
That's right! THE BULLS SHEET is going to be a full website. We'll still have the SF Bulls blog, but we'll also have interviews, stories and lots more photos of the team. Along with the Bulls, we'll be covering all of minor league hockey, including the ECHL, AHL, SPHL, EIHL, CHL, AIHL and others.<br />
<br />
We'll release the new website in July, so stick with us! We'll have a BIG ANNOUNCEMENT here, as well as on Facebook and Twitter.<br />

For the
first time in the team’s history, the Reading Royals won the Kelly Cup last
night in Stockton, California against the Stockton Thunder. This was the first
Kelly Cup finals series played in California as well. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Reading took
control of the game with a goal in the First Period and continued to score,
making the total 6-0 against the Thunder. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
The Royals
won the final series against Stockton 3 games to 1, Stockton winning the third
game. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
The team
under Coach Larry Courville, started the year out slow and not with the best
record, but with perseverance, battled through to the playoffs and made it
successfully to the end. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Stockton had
a similar story, except they managed to come from behind in most of their
playoff games, thus earning the nickname “Comeback Kids”. But Reading was too
much even for them, and the Pennsylvania crew will have a parade in Downtown
Reading Wednesday evening at 6pm. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Royals’
Goalie Riley Gill gets Kelly Cup Playoff MVP of 2013. He had two shutouts in
the finals and four shutouts in total; he’s tied for second most in league
history. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Both fan bases should feel proud of their team's performances. They are what hockey is all
about!<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
I’m a couple
days late with this blog, I know. I’ve been busy getting back into my daily
routine of running, cooking from scratch and going to bed early at night. I
know, exciting life I lead. But it is exceptionally nice to get back to making
most of my food from scratch, including my bread, going out for my 5 am runs
and getting the rest I need. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
During
hockey season, this doesn’t always happen. Sleep is sometimes hard to come by,
runs get skipped and the food isn’t always the best. So, I’m enjoying my
coconut milk and berry smoothies and my whole wheat bread while I can. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
“It’s a long
ways to the top if you wanna rock n roll…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
AC/DC
blasted this out about the music business, but it’s very fitting for
professional hockey. It’s a long, long ways to the top of the Kelly Cup Finals
and two teams have made it to the pinnacle. These two teams could not have
chosen more different paths. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
The Reading
Royals was ahead in the Eastern Conference the entire season. They started out
strong and stayed that way. The Royals have some big players. They make big
plays and big hits. They overtake their opponents and don’t let go. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
The Stockton
Thunder, on the other hand, was a fairly weak team in the beginning of the
season. It wasn’t until the last two months of the regular season when the Thunder
grew stronger overtaking teams, winning games when they were losing, earning
the nick The Comeback Kids. They aren’t a big team, they’re scrappy and patient.
They’re willing to fight it out until they win. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
The Finals
start Friday in Reading, PA. It is too difficult to say who has the advantage.
If Reading scores first, they could muscle Stockton and surge through,
over-powering them for the rest of the game. But the Thunder can never, ever be
counted out. Just ask Idaho or Alaska. This tenacity is their secret weapon and
it serves them well.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
The Thunder
have never won the Kelly Cup and they’re hungry. The games against the Idaho
Steelheads were very close with two going into overtime. The games against
Reading will be even more difficult. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
This series
could go either way. One thing is for sure, it will be exciting, hockey at its
finest! <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
There are many
reasons why hockey is the greatest spectator sport there is. The playoffs is just
one of them. I’m writing as a hockey lover and writer. The playoffs are a time
for the best to pull every last bit of themselves out and go farther than they
think they can. It is a glorious time. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
The
Semi-Finals brought about so many upsets that it makes one’s head spin to think
about it. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Take the
Gwinnett Gladiators – Cincinnati Cyclones series. Gwinnett was packed with great
players like Casey Pierro-Zabotel, Sacha Guimond and Ryan Giunand. I was sure
they would take this series, but I was wrong. The intimidating Cyclones hungry
for victory have won the right to move forward. Their roster is all big
players, not a one is under five feet, 11 inches. And they are skilled with the
likes of Jeff Foss, David Pacan and Matt Smyth. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Idaho
Steelheads defeated the Ontario Reign. All season Idaho had never been that far
behind Alaska and Ontario in the Western Conference, so it wasn’t out of the
question that they could win this series, but with Ontario’s long drought in
the Kelly Cup, it would seem to be their time. But not this time. The
Steelheads crew, including Rylan Galiardi, David de Kastrozza and Scott Todd
were dominant for enough of the series to avail over the Reign. Even Ontario’s
superb players Derek Couture, Mario Lamoureux and Chris Carrozzi were not
enough to beat Idaho.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
In the most
surprising contest, Stockton upset favorites Alaska Aces. Even the likes of
Aces players Bobby Hughes, Chris Clackson and Gerald Coleman couldn’t stop the “Comeback
Kids”, as they’re known as. Anyone who had paid attention to the Thunder’s last
month of regular season play knew that this team was capable of coming back and
winning nearly any contest. Even a 0-5 deficit couldn’t stop this squad. They
kept battling, marching, moving forward until they’d win. As a hockey writer, I
find this winning desire incredible and something to emulate. Players like
Garet Hunt, Mike Little and Tyler Bunz don’t give up. And they’re not a big
team, they’re scrappy and determined. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
The most
recent series just ended tonight with the Reading Royals closing out the
Florida Everblades. I thought Florida might just be able to repeat, but the
Royals were too much for them. The Royals toughness stems from players like
Mark Owuya, Nikita Kashirsky and Joel Champagne. Florida’s stars Mathieu Roy,
Leigh Salters and Brandon MacLean and an additionally played game couldn’t stop
Reading.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
So, the
Final Conference games are:<o:p></o:p></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Games start
Friday. I won’t begin to guess who I think will win. It really is anybody’s
Kelly Cup to win! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
I WILL say
that all of these games will be fast, exciting hockey and you should try to
catch at least one on America One if you can. And by all means, listen to them
online! <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
A silly name
for this blog, I know, but it’s true. There’s nothing “minor” about minor
league hockey. It’s an amazing, exciting and MASSIVE place where, if you’re a
hockey fanatic like me, you can spend hours upon hours and not spend your
entire paycheck going to one game like you do in that other league. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
There are so
many individual leagues all around North America, Europe, Asia and yes,
Australia & New Zealand, it would be hard to write about all of them, but
over the coming weeks and months, The Bulls Sheet will be doing our best to do
just that. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Little by
little this blog will turn towards not only covering the San Francisco Bulls

Now, there
are some very exciting things happening in the ECHL. The league is right in the
middle of the second round of the playoffs and the eight teams playing are so
close skill-wise, but it’s getting closer to see who will pull away with wins
this time around. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Listening to
or watching online any of these battles is a real treat. This is prime hockey,
so try and catch a game if you can. I’ll give more of an opinion after the fourth
game in all. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
This season
was a good one for most of the ECHL teams. According to ECHL attendance numbers,
many showed an increase over last year. Sure, much of this has to do with the
lock out, but also because I think hockey as a sport is on the upswing. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
It was a
surprise to me that the Fort Wayne Komets has the best attendance numbers. This
certainly has nothing to do with the NHL lockout! Fort Wayne is over 200 miles
from both Chicago and Columbus. The Komets had crowds all of their first season
averaging 7,583 fans. Hockey is GOOD in Indiana!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
The Ontario
Reign also increased in attendance by 20%, totaling over 1 million fans in five
years. People in the Inland Empire know that good hockey is to be had for less
than the price of parking at a Kings game. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
In fact, all
of the new teams had great attendance during their first years. This is a positive
sign. The Bulls had eighth highest attendance at 4,164 fans average per game. In
a big city with lots of other diversions and ways to spend one’s money, these
are excellent numbers. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Not all of
the teams did great. The Trenton Titans announced this week they will cease
operations in the 2013-2014 season. The team drew just over 3,000 per game and
dropped to 2,500 at one point. They’re hoping to come back for the 2014-2015. My
best wishes to them, it sucks losing teams. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Las Vegas
Wranglers announced Mike Madill as new general manager and head coach. Seeing
that they lost to Florida in the finals last year and got bumped by the
Stockton Thunder in the first round this season, I guess the owners want to try
something new. Madill played for the Wranglers and this is his first professional
coaching job. Madill holds the record for all time games played with the
Wranglers at 336, scoring 131 points. He was no slouch as a player. Good
players don’t always make the best coaches, so I hope this works for the Wranglers.
<o:p></o:p></div>

The spring
weather is warming up in most places so go out and enjoy the weather and
outside! <o:p></o:p></div>

games<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Alaska Aces
advance, winning their series over San Francisco Bulls 4-1 games <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Most of the
wins in the First Round were predictable, but there were a couple surprises.
One of them was Stockton’s ability to overtake the Wranglers coming from two
games behind and win the series. That was some battle of a First Round for
them; one the Thunder fans won’t soon forget. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
San
Francisco fought hard and surprised Aces fans who may have thought the games
would be easy wins. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
The Utah
Grizzlies battled but in the end were overtaken by the stronger Reign, my
favorite to win the west. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Gwinnett
swept South Carolina. I expected them to win, but sweeping the Stingrays
surprised me a little. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Reading won
their series, even with a major change in team ownership and switch over NHL
affiliation (they’re now affiliated with the Washington Capitals). I’m
impressed with their ability to maintain their focus to get the job done. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Toledo kept
up with Cincy as much as they could, but the Cyclones won in overtime in the
Sixth game. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

My favorites
to win this round are Ontario, Alaska, Florida and Gwinnett, but anything can
happen! This is hockey at its best. Every team, every player, every coach
deserves to be there. They’ve worked hard for their place and I commend them
for it. Good luck to all! Hockey is the greatest team sport there is. Thank you
for making it even better!<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
When I was a
kid, we used to spend part of the summer visiting my father’s family in Newburyport,
Massachusetts. This always included at least one day at the amusement park at
Salisbury Beach. My uncle worked there, so we kids had free reign of the place.
The boardwalk had one of the most majestic wooden roller coasters I’ve ever
seen and I loved it. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Waiting in
line I got butterflies in my stomach, increasing as the screams drifted down
from the top of that mighty beast. The click-clack of the cables pushing up the
cars slowly, slowly to the top and then rushing down so fast with hands in the
airs, screaming at the top of our lungs were what we lived for! And once off
the coaster, we got back in line and did all over again. And again! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
San
Francisco Bulls games are like that for me. I start to get excited as I leave
work or home and get more ancy waiting for the slow shuttle drivers to leave
Balboa BART. It crescendos to a high when the Bulls players come out for
warm-ups and I can get pictures, and maybe, just maybe snap a great one with my
cheap little camera. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
The tick
tick of skates to ice are like the clicking of the coaster as it jettisons to
the first peak. The puck smashing against the boards is the knocking of the
coaster cars as they abruptly turn corners. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
And taking
my seat, I await Rawhide’s Intro and the National Anthem. And then it begins….<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
The season
ended too quickly last night for the Bulls. In a 5-3 loss, San Francisco fell to
Alaska in the final game of the first round of the Kelly Cup Playoffs. They
fought hard and well. Taking one of the games, the Bulls surprised many by
keeping most of the other games close and battling the entire way. I've included a few pictures from last night at the end of today's blog.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
The whole
first season was an amazing one. Surprising to some, but not to those of us who
went to all or most of the games, who got to know the Bulls’ staff, went to Bulls’
events to meet the players and supported the team in every way we could. The
Bulls passion of the game captured a city’s heart. They are now part of San
Francisco and we love them. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Next year,
expect Coach Curcio to work his brilliance and get the Bulls even farther. Big
things will happen. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
The Bulls
Sheet will be working hard this summer, not just in covering the Bulls, but we
will be expanding, covering the minor league hockey world in a way that is not
currently being done. Keep reading for more news in the weeks ahead. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
In the
meantime, I’m still going to cover the Kelly Cup Playoffs. I’ll write an update
about the games tomorrow night. Until then, you have six months to save your
money for Bulls tickets next season!<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
I’m not
going to get into a long description of last night’s game except that for most
of the 60 minutes, it was one of the best, hardest-fought games the Bulls has
ever played. Unlike Game 3 on Thursday night, the team didn’t look flat or
tired as the team progressed they seemed to gain more energy, more desire to
win. <o:p></o:p></div>

But it was
not enough, as the Bulls lost to the Aces 6-5. The team played fiercely in a
true war against the top team in the ECHL. I’m so proud of them I can’t express
how much in mere words. Tonight is do or die, but no matter what happens, they
have all of my respect and love. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
The biggest
news is that the Bulls lost the Third game in their playoff round with the
Alaska Aces, 4-1. The First Period looked great. But by the Second Period, San
Francisco started to lag just a little, not following through on passes and one
thing lead to another and Alaska scored. Once the Aces scored, it was all over.

People have
shrugged me off, but when Alaska scores first, their record is 34-0-6. The Aces
have NEVER lost a game in regulation team when they have scored first. This
must always be remembered. Sure, a miracle can happen and I might get a
Municorn (an imaginary MUNI bus that actually appears when you need it to
appear) today as well. But, this is not something that should be counted on.
The Bulls MUST score first to win!<o:p></o:p></div>

The Bulls
tried to keep up with the Aces, but it seemed to wear them down. Alaska never
seemed to tire. They continued to attack, to press on. It isn’t that the Bulls
gave up, they never did, they’re not that kind of a team, but they couldn’t
keep up once the Aces domination could over. <o:p></o:p></div>

The Bulls organization
do a really good job at making sure the fans are happy and taken care of. I
would say that the one area that does need work is in security. Someone needs to communicate with all the security folks and tell them what they need to
know. I cannot begin to say how many times I’ve argued with security at the door
about bringing in empty plastic bottles. I will NOT throw my bottle away! It’s
empty and allowed in! Why do I know the rules of the Cow Palace better than a
security guard? No Bulls fan should EVER be told to throw their EMPTY water
bottle away, yet it happens at every game. <o:p></o:p></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Also last
night, the security wasn’t told about the new rules regarding picture taking during
warm ups. I was worried about this beforehand and with good reason as it turned
out. I argued with the head security person and made her call one of the higher
ups. Even when it was OK’d for the ADULTS to be there to take pictures,
security carded EVERYONE coming into the area, as it’s now part of the larger
bar, so kids are still NOT allowed in to take pictures and this was not what I
was told. Hopefully, they’ll have that Kids Zone area for them so they’ll have
a bigger area. Kids LOVE watching the Bulls players. Blocking them from getting
to see them warm up is wrong. I don’t drink, so I don’t care about a bigger bar
area, but I’m sure some people enjoy it. I just want fans to have access to seeing

I know
things are being tested and worked out with that whole ice bar situation. But
the miscommunication with the security has been an on-going issue for the
entire season. If you have had problems in areas I haven’t mentioned, please
let me know or add your voice in the comments section. Or if you’d rather it be

Saturday’s
playoff Game #2 against the Alaska Aces was a Must Win. It would have been
fatal to allow the Aces to get ahead in the series by two games. Because of the
Bulls determination, skill and hard, hard work, they SHUT OUT Alaska 1-0. That’s
right! Not only was this the team’s FIRST SHUTOUT, but they shutout Alaska on
their home ice! <o:p></o:p></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Please take
a breath and realize how HUGE of a victory this is for the Bulls. Before
Saturday night, only Idaho had been able to shutout Alaska in their home arena.
The game was the perfect example of how great things can be if the basics are
followed: aggressive offense, tight defense and thoughtful play. <o:p></o:p></div>

There were
several moments when the team could have lost their cool, especially when
penalties were not called on Aces players like Chris Clackson. To me, he’s Public
Enemy Number One for his goonish behavior on the ice. I will boo and boo LOUDLY
(!!) whenever his name is announced at the barn. And Alaska took to diving, a
lot. But hey, if this hockey thing doesn’t work out, the Alaska Aces can always
join the Olympic Diving Team. <o:p></o:p></div>

A large
group of us fans watched the game in the outside garden of Park 77. I want to
thank Tom and the club’s most gracious hospitality for making us feel right at
home. He had already scheduled a large birthday party months earlier, but for
the Bulls, he created space at the last minute. And all the hard work he did to
make us feel welcomed was most appreciated. <o:p></o:p></div>

HORNS OF THE
GAME: Even though Falite scored the one and only goal of the game, it was
Thomas Heemskerk’s goaltending that won the game for the Bulls. He stopped all 32 shots the Aces fired at him. They were relentless but so was Heemers. So, for this
victory in the Second Game of the playoff series, Heemskerk gets the Horns of
the Game. <o:p></o:p></div>

On the way
back to San Francisco, the team took overnight flights home Sunday morning,
arriving back at the barn, bleary eyed and disheveled. The Matadors Club had a Welcome
Home Breakfast of coffee, bagels, pastries and fruit for them if they wanted
something before passing out. It was a very thoughtful thing to do for the guys
and most appreciated by the team.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
The small
crowd at Park 77 grew slowly at first but by the end of the Bulls first playoff
game, shown straight from Alaska, the bar was filled with orange-clad fans. It
was quieter than it should have been, but the Bulls had just been beat 5 to 1
by the Aces in this first meeting in the first round of the Kelly Cup Playoffs.

Rawhide,

and cheered on the team. Ian Schultz was there as well, nursing his broken
ankle. It was great seeing so many rallying for the Bulls. </div>

<o:p><br /></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Alaska has
lots of experience in the playoffs including winning the Kelly Cup and they
were amped and ready for the game. They were forceful and controlled the game
from the first few minutes. The Bulls never challenged this control. They were
slow on the ice and by the way they played, it didn’t even feel like a playoff
game. There was no urgency within the team, with the exception of Captain Scott
Langdon who was upset when a couple Aces ran into Goalie Thomas Heemskerk. That
was a highlight in the game, but it didn’t get the rest of the team
going. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
And sure,
there were bad calls and a lack of calls, however, that’s not what
lost the Bulls the game. They needed to treat this game as THE MOST IMPORTANT
GAME THEY’VE EVER PLAYED and they didn’t rise to that level. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Second game
is Saturday night, which by the time I write and publish this blog will be
later today. I have no doubt the Bulls can come back and win. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
These are
the Bulls Sheet’s 3 Keys to the Game:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
1 – Aggressive
Offense<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Alaska had
40 shots to San Francisco’s 21 in Friday’s game. This needs to change if the
Bulls have any chance of winning the second game. The Bulls must push and push
hard on the Aces. Alaska is a very aggressive team and will continue to run San
Francisco over if the Bulls do not run over them first. Both times the Bulls
beat the Aces they scored first. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
2 – Tighter Defense<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
There was
much of the first game when Heemskerk was alone at the net. He needs more help.
If he’s by himself then this leaves his weak spot, anywhere near his legs when
he’s horizontal stopping the puck, wide open. This happened twice in tonight’s
game. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
3 – Play Smarter<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Kris Belan
scored the lone goal for San Francisco. However, he also committed a blatant
crosscheck right in front of the ref earlier in the game, leaving the team
shorthanded, leading the Aces to another goal. Even if emotions start to rise, they have to settle
down and play with their heads not their tempers, because the Aces will be
doing so and if the Bulls allow their emotions to guide them they will not win.
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
As
underdogs, the Bulls are on a sharp uphill, made even steeper by this first
loss. They will need to pick it up and take that hill like they own it. Because
I know they CAN own it if they believe in themselves.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Regardless
of how this first playoff series turns out, I love the Bulls and support them! If
you’re in The City later tonight, stop by Park 77 and watch the game with us!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
I know I’m a
bit late getting this to you, but we can catch up now and be ready to jump into
the ECHL Playoff picture. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
The playoffs
started Monday and Tuesday nights with the Western Conference. The Ontario Reign
hosted the Utah Grizzlies. They won both games at home against the Grizzlies
5-2 and 7-2. I thought Ontario would take this series but I also thought Utah
would give more of a fight. There’s still more games to be played and the
Grizzlies aren’t out of it yet. They now go back to Utah to battle on the
Grizzlies’ home ice.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Idaho
defeated the Eagles in overtime in Boise Wednesday night 4-2 in their first
series’ game. The two teams play again tonight, Thursday, in the Steelheads
home arena. I’ll give Idaho the edge; they’re a little tougher and stronger
than Colorado.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
All the
other matchups start Friday night, including the San Francisco Bulls game
against the Alaska Aces. Set in the Aces’ home arena in Anchorage, the Bulls
are true underdogs. Nothing about this series will be easy for the Bulls. The
Aces are experienced at post-season play and have won the Kelly Cup many times
previously. However, San Francisco’s unwillingness to ever give up may help
them go far and could bring an upset. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
The Stockton
Thunder take on the Las Vegas Wrangler in Stockton. I’ll take Las Vegas for
this one. They have the experience and went to the finals last year, losing to
the Florida Everblades. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
In the
Eastern Conference, the Reading Royals host the Greenville Road Warriors. As
much as I’d love to see an upset for the lowly Road Warriors, I see the Royals
taking this series. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Number two
seeded Cincinnati Cyclones play the Toledo Walleye. Something tells me if there
is an upset in the Eastern Conference, it would be in this matchup. If you
compare the numbers of these two teams, Toledo has a good chance of winning
this series. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
The South is
well represented with the Gwinnett Gladiators versus the South Carolina
Stingrays. I’ll take Gwinnett on this one. The strength of their players will
be too much for South Carolina. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
And finally,
the Florida Everblades host the Elmira Jackals. Florida will win these games
and go far in the playoffs. They won the Kelly last year and could be favorites
again this season. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
My picks for
the finals: As much as I would love it to see the Bulls winning it all, I don’t
think that’s likely in their first year. So, realistically, I see Florida vs
Ontario in the Finals with Florida winning. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
So, now it’s
time to sit back and see what happens. And root for your favorite team! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
GO BULLS! <o:p></o:p></div>

It's the start of baseball season and even though the San Francisco Giants are starting the season down in LaLa Land at Dodger Stadium, the Giants opened up AT&T Park for fans this afternoon to watch the game for free from their big screen. That's pretty cool.<br />
<br />
In traditional form, the Giants lost this first game of the season, (as they have for a few years now), and when Bulls Weekly started at Pedro's across from AT&T Park, Giants fans were well on their way drinking off the loss.<br />

Tommy Grant was Jason Lockhart's guest tonight. He was the perfect guest to have tonight with the Playoffs coming up and the team heading to Alaska Wednesday. Tommy spent a few years going to college and playing hockey in Anchorage, so he knows the area well. He shared some secrets about living up north and being on a college hockey team.<br />

It was a nice way to put a capper on what has been a banner year for the young team. Mikael Tam earned the HORNS OF THE GAME Award, our first ever recipient! He earns this by scoring two goals and by his excellent defensive work.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
The last
home game was Fan Appreciation Day and the Bulls did it in style. Nope, I’m not
talking about the game itself. I’ll skip over that as quickly as possible. The
Bulls were shut out by the Idaho Steelheads 5-0. The team didn’t seem to have
any energy as Taylor Nelson was lit up and replaced by backup goalie Travis
Fullerton. The Ref seemed to not be there as well, refusing to call many
obvious penalties. But, that’s the way it goes sometimes. <o:p></o:p></div>

After the

received Fan Favorite and Defensive Player of the Year, Dylan King Most
Improved Player, Kris Belan Rookie of the Year, Peter Sivak Offensive Player of
the Year and Dean Ouellet MVP. I was one of the presenters. It was fun to step
out on the ice. I thought it would be more slippery, but after all the skating
there was plenty of ice dusted up to make it safe to walk on it street shoes. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Life is
filled with battles. It’s up to us to choose what in our lives is worth
standing up for and what is not. The Bulls battled through three scoreless
periods, not giving the Idaho Steelheads any quarter. Unfortunately, San
Francisco lost in Overtime 1-0, but it’s not something the team should feel
badly about; they kept up the fight all the way through. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
This was
Travis Fullerton’s debut as Goaltender. He did a stellar job. He stopped 25 of
26 shots and helped us Bulls fans breath a bit easier knowing that the team has
a good backup goalie now. <o:p></o:p></div>

Kris Belan
is also back with the team. I’ve missed him!!! He got a roughing penalty within
the first few minutes of the game, just because that’s how he rolls, so we all
knew things were getting back to normal. I talked to him after the game and he
told me how strange it is to be back in San Francisco and not know hardly any
of the players anymore. He was very happy to be here with the San Francisco
fans and weather, however and looked extremely happy to see us familiar fans’ faces.
He is well loved by Bulls fans. <o:p></o:p></div>

Also back on
the ice was Ian Schultz. He had his energy and speed as well. He’s so fun to
watch skate; he never stops with the aggression either. If he can stir it up, he
will. He did so in the Third Period, taunting the Steelheads, throwing the bull
horns on the way to the box. Since he played at Utah before the Bulls, I have
to think that there’s a lot of history and bad blood between him and Idaho. <o:p></o:p></div>

One of the “firsts”
by the Bulls is having an Ice Bar at one end of the rink. It’s been a huge
success, so the team wanted to enlarge it. There’s also a big area behind the
home and visitor’s benches where no one sits because the site line to the game is
blocked. The Ice Bar was moved to this area and just opened last night. There
is also a row of glass seats that need to be kept separate from the bar area by
a fire lane.<o:p></o:p></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
There was
one problem, though. There was no access to watching the Bulls players warm ups
at that side of the ice. The only way one could now get close to the players
warming up was to go all the way to the other side of the Barn to a small area.
No one was letting us into the glass seat area like we had in the past. That was
fine for a weekday night when there aren’t a whole lot of people, but what
about a weekend game, or the playoffs when the crowds will be much larger? <o:p></o:p></div>

When, in my
dismay, I pointed out the access problem for fans, the top rate Bulls staff
brainstormed and by the end of the night they decided to open up the entire
area to everyone until game time when the Ice Bar becomes Over 21 and the glass
seats are closed off for everyone except ticketholders. Which is as it should
be. Even at the top NHL arenas fans are
allowed to take pictures of their favorite players warming up, and then when
the warm-ups are over, they go back to their seats. <o:p></o:p></div>

I don’t say
this flippantly or lightly. In a world where it seems that no one cares about
us, when it seems that we don’t mean much to anyone, this team, the San Francisco
Bulls, goes out of their way to make sure us fans get the very best experience
they can. THEY DO CARE. <o:p></o:p></div>

The Bulls
lost to Stockton 4-1 tonight in a tough battle that unfortunately was not
enough to gain a win. One of the bright spots was a beaut of a goal from new
player Nick Czinder, his first of the year. <o:p></o:p></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Nick has a
fascinating way of skating. He’s very tall, a little lanky yet quite strong
with some of the most flowing golden hair you’ll see. His large size allows him
to force his way past the opposition, but he never does it in a oafish manner.
Quite the opposite, Czinder has style on the ice. With his long blond hair and
picturesque stature, he’s very metal-looking. If he wasn’t a hockey
player, he’d be blasting a guitar or thrashing at a drum kit in a metal
band somewhere. But never forget he’s very skilled on those sharpened blades
and was able to find the net when others could not. <o:p></o:p></div>

Jordan
Morrison got hit on the cheek with a puck last night, so he was still

as well as Ian Schultz. Tommy Grant was finishing up a two-game suspension
tonight and should be playing in the game tomorrow in Bakersfield. <o:p></o:p></div>

With the
loss of Morrison and Grant, the team was top-heavy in defense so Captain Scott
Langdon jumped to offense during the game. According to the Gackle Report
(gacklereport.com), Langdon filled in when the team needed him. This is the
sign of a great Captain. I’m in true admiration of his leadership; he’s grown
into the role so much that I couldn’t be more proud. <o:p></o:p></div>

My friend
David and I discovered something new tonight. They have POUTINE at the Barn!
That’s right! That delicious, oh so yummy, stick-to-your-ribs Poutine! What is
Poutine, you ask? It’s a taste treat from the cold north, Canada. It’s origins
are Quebec, where the winters are cold and long and they need hearty food to
see them through and to soak up all that beer. Poutine is French fries covered
with gravy, topped with traditionally curd cheese. Of course, we’re in
California, so they use shredded white cheddar cheese. But no matter! It’s
really good!</div>

game of the regular season is Friday, March 29<sup>th</sup> again versus Idaho.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
In an
exciting game that was lost because of a probable bad call, it’s easy to forget
the other important things that happened at last night’s Bulls’ game. <o:p></o:p></div>

It was the
team’s Breast Cancer Prevention night and every adult female got a pink hat.
There was a pink glove dance, like the Youtube video during the First
Intermission as well. Seton Medical Center sponsored the evening and had plenty
of representatives available. My mom died of breast cancer, so this is a pretty
personal and important issue for me. <o:p></o:p></div>

Also last
night, five of the six new players took to the ice. The new line of Daultan
Leveille, Nick Czinder and Brett Findlay is nearly unstoppable. Leveille scored
the only goal for San Francisco in the Second Period. Antoine Corbin on defense
is a true leader. The sixth new player is Goaltender Travis Fullerton out of
University of New Brunswick. Last year, he had a 209 saves with a .909%. Since
it doesn’t look like Thomas Heemskerk is going to be back any time in the near
future, San Francisco needs a good backup goalie, and Fullerton has good
numbers. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
The
controversy mentioned above arose when there was a split second left in the
game and Stockton scored. It’s hard to know if the goal should have counted or
not. I don’t know for sure if it didn’t count, It LOOKED like it should NOT
have counted, but it’s hard to know for SURE. The game then went into Overtime
and a Shootout where the Thunder won. <o:p></o:p></div>

But, it was
an exciting game and certainly not ruined, as some are saying by a call that
may or may not have been the wrong one. It was a great game and will always be
considered an outstanding effort by the team. Remember, this is a group of
players, who, including the new players, haven’t played together before. There
was one WHOLE NEW LINE! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
I DO agree
that instant replay is needed just for instances such as this; it would eliminate
controversy, but we cannot allow ourselves as fans to get bogged down in this
game’s ending. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
I think
every Bulls fan who went to last night’s should feel great optimism and
happiness, even with this loss. Because this is a great team! <o:p></o:p></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
The playoffs
are coming up and that is what should be on all of our minds. We need the
strongest, fastest, toughest and BEST team we can. And I think we’re pretty
close to accomplishing that. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
So much
happened today at Bulls HQ! The first news, which I had been told about a
couple days ago and was sworn not to say anything about, was Peter Sivak’s
Call-Up to Worcester. No one deserves it more than Sivak. He’s the lead scorer
for the Bulls and I actually find it curious it didn’t happen earlier. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Then the
Call-Up for Dean Ouellet to go to the Hamilton Bulldogs, the AHL team for the
Montreal Canadiens also happened today. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Both Ouellet
and Sivak are on loan to the two teams and could be back in time for the
Playoffs, Coach Curcio told us at Bulls Weekly today. (See what you missed
tonight?) The key word is “could be”, nothing is certain and no one is sure
when or if they will return. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Simon
Danis-Pepin was placed on Reserve, which means he’s on Day-to-Day status. He
could play at any time if he’s able.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Now the
adds…there are five new members today with more additions tomorrow. Two players
were loaned from the Hamilton Bulldogs: Daultan Leveille and Antoine Corbin. Nick
Czinder and Brett Findlay both signed individual contracts and Edward Gale
signed an amateur tryout agreement. A couple of the players tried out today
with more arriving tomorrow. As soon as we get the total of adds, I'll gather more information about them for The Bulls Sheet. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
While the
losses of Sivak and Ouellet for however long it is seems harsh, this is an
incredible step in their professional hockey careers. We should all feel very
happy and proud for them and smugly know that we saw them play at the Barn,
much like we saw Belan, Tarisov, Viedensky and Gourde play. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
The other
huge bonus is this is that we can also feel secure in knowing that we have a
coach and team management who knows how to get good players. We have had a huge
amount of players get called up. Coach Curcio is very, very good at what he
does. He knows where the real talent is and can snag it. So, when we need more
talent, he can get it. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

took place at Pedro’s tonight with Jason and his special guest Bulls team
Captain Scott Langdon. Scott speaks in a quiet, thoughtful manner, but had much to say. As always, we had a great time. <o:p></o:p></div>

I thank everyone on the Matadors who worked really hard to put this event together. You all RULE! I also want to thank the Bulls for being the best guests anyone could ask for. You are the GREATEST there are!<br />
+++++<br />
<br />
The Bulls are only two points away from clinching the last spot in the Western Conference portion of the Playoffs. They can do this if the Bakersfield Condors lose to the Las Vegas Wranglers tomorrow night. So, every Bulls fans should be rooting GO WRANGLERS! Tuesday night!<br />
<br />
Bulls Weekly is this Wednesday night. I think I know who the guest is, but I'm not telling. Join us at Pedros!<br />
<br />
Next home game is this Friday night when the Bulls take on the Stockton Thunder for two games through Saturday night. I hope to see you there!<br />
<br />
GO BULLS!<br />

It was Star
Wars Day at the Barn. The Bulls celebrated St, Patrick’s Day yesterday and
saved today for Yoda, Luke and the rest of those wacky, space creatures to help
raise money for Kristi Yamaguchi’s organization Always Dream Foundation. <o:p></o:p></div>

Many fans
showed up in cool getups. I had a great time at the game, going with my friend
who had never been to a hockey game before. But she’s one of my closest and
oldest friends and we’ve gone to many SF Giants games together including a historic playoff game, so I owe her a few. <o:p></o:p></div>

The game
started off well. The Bulls scored first with Christian Ouellet’s goal. Then
Christian scored again, making it 2-0. But that would be all that the Bulls
chalked up that afternoon goal-wise. Maybe the team was tired. But The
Grizzlies were probably even more tired. So, I’m not sure why the team lacked
the energy of the night before. <o:p></o:p></div>

Until Thomas
Greiss, the San Jose Sharks backup Goalie, gets back to full health and we get
Thomas Heemskerk back from the Worcester Sharks, Taylor Nelson is our only Goaltender. He wasn’t as sharp
today as he was in Game One; he let a few cheap goals through. He's not going to be perfect all the time, and at least the team has a week to rest up after today. <o:p></o:p></div>

And the
chirping that had started last night began again. It flared up in the Third
Period, when the score was 4-2 Utah, soon to be 6-2. Tommy Grant was given a
five-minute major for elbowing and both sides on the ice nearly erupted. This
ended with half dozen Bulls players being tossed out of the game,
including Tommy Grant, Dean Ouellet, Mikael Tam, Ian Schultz, Mark Isherwood
and Tristan King. The Bulls bench was nearly empty! <o:p></o:p></div>

Dylan King
had gotten into a good fight and bloodied his nose and left the game a little
earlier. Also hurt was Scott Langdon, but it was his throat and he should be
good for Friday’s game. <o:p></o:p></div>

There were a

people are discovering what a great team we have. I welcome all of you to the

I saw a
small bunch of new fans in the Seats In Goal area trying to get The Wave going
today. Please, this must be stopped! San Francisco, even outside of hockey has
longstanding tradition of hating The Wave. We boo Wave-doers at San Francisco
Giants games. Outside of LA, it’s unacceptable. So,
please, friends don’t let friends do The Wave.</div>

of the game was disappointing, but we’re only a few points from snagging that

The Bulls
had a special Tailgate party for their multi-game ticket holders today before
the game with the Utah Grizzlies. It was set up in an outdoors area between the
Barn and the outer buildings. Lots of picnic tables were placed side-by-side,
as well as a long line of food, including hot dogs, chips, beans, potato salad
and pasta salad. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Team members
came out and greeted us and took lots of pictures with us. There was also a
raffle with many fun prizes. Some were quite imaginative and would have been a
blast to win, including a few signed sticks, a signed jersey. One prize was even getting to sit next to Jason Lockhart for the Third Period of a game and
another one was playing team gear assistant for a game. </div>

This game
was also the Bulls pre-St. Patrick’s game. They gave out 2,000 green Bulls
caps. This one is one of my favorite promotional caps. I think I’ll probably have Bulls caps in nearly every color after this
season, one for every day of the week! <o:p></o:p></div>

Tonight was
the first time the ex-Bulls members who had been traded a couple weeks ago have been back to San Francisco. Some of us were so excited to see them we waited
impatiently in the visitor’s side of the rink for them to take to the ice during pre-game
warm-ups. Smiles were exchanged between players and fans. Alex Tuckerman,
Jordan Clendenning, Jonathan Lessard, Martin Lee, Cody Carlson and Sebastien
Trudeau were back! I think some of their teammates were a little grumpy about
the attention they were getting. I noticed their fellow Grizzly Tommy Maxwell
snarling a little from us waving and smiling at the guys. Or, maybe Maxwell was
just having a bad day, he seemed to be getting into a whole lot of chirping
with a few Bulls players later in the game. <o:p></o:p></div>

It was a
wild and high-scoring game, ending in a Shootout which the Bulls won 6-5! Utah
scored first, but Peter Sivak answered later that First Period. Bryan Cameron
scored the 2<sup>nd</sup> goal in the Second Period, giving San Francisco the
lead. The Grizzlies came back and tied, but Sivak scored again, giving the
Bulls the lead once more. Utah tied it up once more. Jordan Morrison scored and
SF lead again! But Utah would not give up and tied it yet again. Christian
Ouellet gave the Bulls the lead for the last time. The Grizzlies tied it up
where it would stay through the rest of the regular time and through Overtime.</div>

There was a great fight in the First Period between Captain Scott Langdon T.J. Battani. That really got the team and crowd into the game. No one has timing in their fights like our Captain! There was also plenty of chirping between Maxwell and Nick Tuzzolino of Utah and Mikael Tam, Rob Kwiet and Ian Schultz. I've never seen Kwiet bothered so much before, he's usually co calm on the ice. </div>

Bryan Cameron was a terrific guest. He scored highest of all Bulls players in the quiz Jason gives the guys at the end of the hour. Taylor Nelson had held the best score, but Bryan came through with just a fraction of a point better. Of course, it's all in fun and Bryan handled it like a pro.<br />
<br />
I believe the next Bulls Weekly is next Wednesday, but I can't confirm that.<br />
+++++<br />
<br />
This weekend is packed with two great games against the Utah Grizzlies and chances to see ex-Bulls players. Saturday is also the season ticket holders Tailgate Party, so I know I'll see many of you there.<br />
<br />
Remember, the number of home games left is dwindling away, so don't wait to go see San Francisco hockey. It's a long time until next season.<br />

GO BULLS!Marthahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12632375358253472272noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4786626019022055923.post-18139055638533803782013-03-14T07:41:00.001-07:002013-03-14T07:41:25.503-07:00A BARN BURNING IN STOCKTON<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
After the
incredible win Sunday, us fans thought all had settled down for a bit, but no,
there was to be another change for the Bulls. Yanni Gourde was quickly returned
to Worcester. I knew it would go back to the Worcester Sharks, but I was hoping
that he would last here even a couple more games, because the team was helped
so much by his speed and shooting talents. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
The Bulls
weren’t left empty-handed, however. Worcester sent us Tommy Grant, who with the
Sharks and Connecticut Whale had 21 points total this season in 48 games. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
So, with
this change, the team went to short distance to Stockton last night. What
happened was amazing and gave a broad smile to every Bulls fan. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
The Bulls
trounced the Stockton Thunder 7-2. It was an old-fashioned stomping, helping the
team’s win streak. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Stockton
scored first, but then it was all San Francisco. Peter Sivak got two goals and unbelievably,
two penalties. Newcomer Tommy Grant got one goal and two assists, Kory Falite
scored a goal, Nick Walsh scored, Bryan Cameron also scored, and Tristan King
got a goal that was one of the most beautiful goals I’ve seen. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Stockton was
able to sneak past one more goal, but it didn’t matter, the game belonged to
the Bulls. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
This is a
huge win and should help the team get wins over the Utah Grizzlies this
weekend. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
+++++<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
I often
wonder why people post nasty comments in a team’s facebook page. The Bulls are very
easy to contact, so if someone has a problem with something the team is doing,
the best thing is to pick up the phone and call them. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Of course,
this would mean the internet bullies wouldn’t get the attention they’re craving
by doing this. This came to light recently with the Bulls upcoming You Can
Play/LGBTQ Night March 23<sup>rd</sup>. It was surprising how much hate this
aroused. Obviously, those posting the hateful comments towards the Bulls and
the night have no clue (nor do I think they care) what You Can Play is about.
They’re too wrapped up in their own flag of bigotry to see anything. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
The Bulls
are a San Francisco professional sports team. They’re trying to be
all-inclusive, as all pro sports teams in San Francisco should be. If this
makes a few people uncomfortable, perhaps it’s time for some self-soul searching.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
I don’t care
what your politics are, I don’t care what your religion is; this is a matter of
fairness. With this much seething hatred toward those who may be different than
those spewing the poison, there is a lot of work to be done. Nowhere was this
more apparent than the remarks of 49ers players Chris Culliver last season. I
love the 49ers, but what he said was inexcusable and unfortunately, many still
feel this way. Bigotry of any sort will not be tolerated by me or The Bulls Sheet.
