Dragons slay Leafs 5-2 Preseason Game 2

The hit from behind

The Bakersfield Dragons scored three times on a five minute major in the first period, and those three help up to be the margin of victory. Considering the Dragons tied Beach City last week, it stood to reason we should be on pace with them. But, two d-men out (Will and Cole) and Justin in the stands in a sling made it tough sledding. Whether the call was not so good or not, the criteria according to the ref was that the kid was injured and had to be helped from the ice. Yes, he later returned to the game, but they have to make a decision after talking it over between the three of them and continue the game.

Roman the save, Rey and Blake evacuate the area!

Power play goal numbers 1 and 2 came just 35 seconds apart, and number three came just one second before we got back to full strength. Too big a mountain to climb to get back into the game..check it out!

More to follow when I get a chance to decipher the video. For historical purposes only, I will show a hit that was put on Doug clearly from behind with no call. Doug popped up immediately of course because he is a stud and tough as nails--nuff said!

Doug gets a rough ride--


In the second, Amanda found her way to the net and chipped in a rebound off of a Julian shot, and the Leafs seemed to be closing the gap, but the Dragons were able to get their 4th goal just a minute later to get to 4-1. Eleven Pasadena shots in the third were fired at the Dragons net, but only the last one beat the goalie, as Rey jumped on a turnover and scored with just 5 ticks left on the clock.

Amanda gets to the front and chips one home!
