One of the odd quirks of my Strat-O-Matic historical hockey league is that the Bulldogs had never beaten the Victorias. Counting regular-season and playoff games over our first season-and-a-half, the Bulldogs had a record of 0-8-0 against the Vics -- or 0-9-0 if you count the pre-season mini-tournament that I conducted before the first season of this league. That run of futility ended tonight when the Dogs eked out a 3-2 win on the road against their hated rivals. The win put them into a second-place tie with the Comets, leaving both teams just two points behind the Vics for first. With the Thistles buried in last place and unlikely to make a run, we'll have three teams vying for two spots in postseason play. Each team has only five games remaining before the season ends and the championship series begins!
