ECHL Reign @ Bulls, November 10

After their last meeting, there was reason to doubt the San Francisco Bulls' chances against the Ontario Reign.  During the first 8 minutes, the Bulls didn't spend a lot of time outside their end of the ice. That turned out to be the case for most of the game.  Thomas Heemskerk wasn't going to have an easy time of it in his second game in two nights.  To his credit, he held up better than the rest of the team. The first penalty was booed roundly before being announced, a tripping penalty against the Bulls' Clendenning. The Bulls killed that off and celebrated with a brief offensive rush, only to be pushed back again. The Bulls didn't give the Reign a lot of room to set up their offense, but they couldn't organize an attack of their own.  Frantic passes off the glass went to opposing players, missed passes turned to icing. With half of the first period gone, the Bulls only had one shot to the Reign's 7.  The Reign scored two goals, just over 30 seconds...
