But. if ever there was an exception to that, it would be tonight, when the Generals head east for a 7:05 game against a Belleville team that is struggling struggling mightily in the early going of the Ontario Hockey League season. The Bulls, who have traditionally dominated the Generals within the spacious spacious confines of Yardmen Arena, have lost four straight games alter opening the campaign with a tie and no longer have the potent offence for which they have been known. Missing their top three scorers from a year ago, including Toronto Maple Leafs prospect Matt Stajan, the Bulls have scored just 12 goals this season and only six in the past four games. "They've struggled, but they work, work, work." Generals coach George Burnett says of the Bulls. "They grind and they always have a bit of an advantage advantage playing in their own home rink... It's a divisional game, so you always expect them to be ready and excited about playing." If the Generals are to take advantage of a home-and-home set with Belleville - they also host the Bulls Friday at 7:35 p.m. - they will have to find a way to produce more offence themselves. In a 4-1 loss at home Sunday to Ottawa. Ottawa. the Generals outshot the 67's 28- 25 and had eight.power-play opportunities. opportunities. but simply didn't bury enough chances. "I thought we played a pretty sound game," says Burnett, albeit upset with giveaways that led to the final three Ottawa'goals. Ottawa'goals. "It's discouraging to lose 4- . 1. but I think we can take a lot of great things out of the hockey game and build on it to have a good week." Ben Eager played particularly well, although his inability to finish seemed to be contagious. He dominated the boards and had several point-blank chances, including a breakaway, but came away with only one assist. "He's playing great," Burnett says of the 19-ycar-okl power forward. "He's skating and lie's not worrying about things that he shouldn't be worrying about. He's just playing a hard, strong, control game. He's getting some chances to score. They didn't go in (Sunday), but they're going to for him." Adam Berti (4th) was the lone Os- hawa goal-scorer, beating Ottawa goalie Lukas Mensator 55 seconds into die third period on a power play and cutting into a 2-0 deficit. But Corey Locke notched his eighth goal of the season 7:33 into the final period period and Brody Todd added one into an empty net to give Ottawa the win. Kyle Wharton and Jeremy Akeson scored earlier for the 67's, who improved to 3- 3-1-0. Chris Beckford-Tseu started his fourth straight game in goal for the Generals, who dropped to 4-3-0-0 on the season.
