KOSTITSYN SPEAKS OUT AGAINST HIS HEAD COACH
















                   Two months after signing a 1 year contract, Andrei Kostitsyn spoke to the media about his head coach (Jacques Martin). It was far from positive."I can't guess about next season," Kostitsyn told Goals.by. "My relationship with the coach is not too good." Kostitsyn even went on to blame Martin about his inconsistent play."It wasn't me who started to play badly," Kostitsyn explained to Goals.by. "It's just that I was being put into (the) third and fourth line...I've tried talking to (Jacques Martin) more than once. But he doesn't care."Kostitsyn did say that he is not thinking about changing teams... All he wants is Martin to be fair.  This season is expected to be the last season Kostitsyn will spend on Montreal due to his problems with his coach.

THE ALL NEW BULLDOGS DESTINATION IS HERE!

       
     














             This season, I am happy to announce that I have created a new destination for Bulldog fans to go. It's a blog that  will (over the course of the season) be giving you monthly updates on the Hamilton Bulldogs. I will be writing about 2 games a month and summarizing the rest in 1 post. But during the Playoffs, I will be writing about every game. This blog that I am telling you about will be just the second Blog on Blogspot.com (BLOGGER) to focus mainly on the Hamilton Bulldogs. Which means that there will be no more Hamilton Bulldogs updates on this blog.  To visit this blog just click on the link below.

Enjoy my new blog!
