That year, the Moose pushed the Bulldogs to the limit in a seven-game Eastern Conference Quarterfinal that ended with a 3-2 Hamilton victory in Game Seven. The Bulldogs went on to drop a thrilling Calder Cup Final in seven games to the Houston Aeros. In 2003-04, the Bulldogs once again captured the North Division crown with 41 wins and 96 points, but were eliminated in the North Division Final by the Rochester Americans in six games.
