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.
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.

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.

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.

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!
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.
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!
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.
