The Belleville Bulls lost their fourth straight home game, 6-3 to Ottawa Wednesday night at Yardmen Arena.
Some good news, the power play worked after firing blanks for the four previous games and team captain Luke Judson ended a five-game point drought with his team-leading 20th goal of the season.
Still, I lost count how many odd-man Ottawa rushes were allowed by the Bulls, including two breakaways in the first period -- they scored on both.
Ottawa led 3-0 on a dozen shots and chased rookie netminder Tyson Teichmann to the bench (he could've sued his teammates for non-support). Anthony Peters didn't fare much better in that department.
It was a fun game to watch, though: wide open, loose, back-and-forth, lots o chances. Just the kind of game Bulls GM-coach George Burnett hates this season because he doesn't have the horses, yet, to play that way.
Best quote from George: "We played like we weren't worried they might score."
Which, of course, they did. Six times.
Bye-bye playoffs.
Oh well, the kids will be even better next season, Bulls might get the first overall pick in the OHL draft (please let it be a high-scoring forward) and Burnett can be counted on to make some moves to bolster the attack.
That's gotta be the plan. Right?
