Ryan White Back With The Bulldogs
The playoffs continue for Habs centre Ryan White. The Montreal Canadiens announced that White was being sent back to Hamilton where he will surely be able to help the Bulldogs in their quest for Calder Cup as they are into round 2 of the AHL playoffs.
White proved he could play in the NHL. He provided a spark when needed and showed, on many occasions, that he would and could stand up for his team, the whole while, with a big smirk on his face.
The 23 year old has many more seasons ahead of him in the NHL as a role player and will surely add a new dimension with his newly gained NHL playoff experience (albeit 6:35 average ice time) with the Hamilton Bulldogs.
Thus far, the ‘Dogs have eliminated the Oklahoma City Barons in 6 games and are presently up 1-0 over the Manitoba Moose, having defeated them 4-1 Thursday night in Hamilton. Game 2 is this Sunday.
Read on for the official Habs presser on White.
