A Matchup vs the Old Coach and GM tonight with a chance to look at our new players. Any former teamates that Lapostelle and Dionne had issues with are there for the taking tonight ! I look forward to seeing Chewy back here as I always liked his style and effort . Probably gonna be lots of rumours kicking around also.................................Struthers,Pacquette,Southorn,Tessier,Legacey.....Oh Well !

Unfortunately, Phil Fontaine won't be playing tonight - he's scheduled to have surgery to correct a groin injury that's kept him out basically the entire season.
Man, there are so many former Eagle connections with this team (and vice versa) that it's almost hard to keep track, and very hard to give them all the attention they merit. I guess the main storyline tonight though is Dion and Lapostolle debuting for their new teams....... against their former teams!
As for that Lagace trade rumour, wow - that'd be a blockbuster. A major risk, and would either go down as a huge addition if we go far or complete failure if we give up ALL those assets only to fall in rd 1 of the playoffs. If that one ends up being true, man - we're rolling the dice.

Interested to hear how this game was. 4-1 montreal lead late in the third. To be expected with a flurry of distractions in eagle land right now.

Interesting to see that Brad Cuzner had credit on the Q site for 5 good hits which is 4 or 5 more than too many of his much larger teammates.

Casual Observations :
- Talk about Winning Ugly and I'm not just talking about the Ugliest Uniforms ever in the League .
- You saw how happy Gouchie and Choiuinard were .....imagine how happy Shinyhead was !
- I thought Jake had a rough debut with the Eagles tonight .....................maybe he should have been rested after the Gold Medal Game less than 24 hrs ago !...huh ?
- Paul seemed to add a some physical presence and after struggling with his legs ...Dionne seemed to play better the second half .
- Lebault is day to day with an ankle injury.
- Getting outworked and outhit in your own Rink is inexcusable , they did not seem to be skating the first 10-12 minutes .
- PP and PK was brutal ..............but fixable .
- No presence in front of the net .
- Miss Adam big time.................miss Horyl even moreso !
- see how this shakes out in the next 12 hours or so ............stay tuned !

Perhaps their most embarrassing game of the year...Hope they get over it soon...they need their top game for St. John on Friday

I think this Montreal win was part of the last trade, no way they are good enought to beat the Eagles in Cape Breton, the league should look into this.

We've seen plenty of uninspired efforts at home this season. But hoo boy, this one takes the cake! Crowd and team were both flat as a pancake. Aside from Brad Cuzner's hustle and a couple nice hits from Kailin Paul, I can't think of one redeeming thing about this game. Absolutely awful - and thankfully all but meaningless!

Character is when your best players are not there so the less talented work thier butts off to make up for it...........we had none of this except for brad c. i was happy for the gouchie and chounard who had a chance to show thier old fans what they were made of and paul who had a good debut, esp in front of his family who i was also happy for...........the rest of them, were very low and playing like thier dog died..........taylor macdougall and nick macneil , what is wrong?
