When the Hamilton Bulldogs started off by scoring 19 goals in three games, it looked they were poised for a massive season. Building the hype was the addition of Will Bitten, the leading scoring of last year’s Flint Firebirds and a 30-goal scorer.
But with the regular season just about over, Hamilton hasn’t lived up to the early excitement. They sit tied for fourth in a weak Eastern Conference, while Bitten’s 0.88 P/GP clip sits behind last year’s pace and just fourth on his team.
Even though Bitten’s production is that of a secondary scorer, there isn’t cause for concern.
