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.
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.
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.
The Bulls
trounced the Stockton Thunder 7-2. It was an old-fashioned stomping, helping the
team’s win streak.
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.
Stockton was
able to sneak past one more goal, but it didn’t matter, the game belonged to
the Bulls.
This is a
huge win and should help the team get wins over the Utah Grizzlies this
weekend.

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.
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 23rd. 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.
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.
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.
Below is a
great piece that brings the matter home. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
