I wouldn't say Lagace was a complete non-factor. He had a stellar dive that led to one of the penalties that got CB's first goal. He jumped into the boards when the ref was partially turned, and Mike Thomas was the closest Sea Dog. The ref heard the noise, assumed Thomas hit him, and called boarding.
Obviously, someone else on the ice saw what happened and told the ref, because for the rest of the game, you could have stabbed Lagace without getting called. One time, Yann Sauve rubbed him out particularly hard on the side boards (possibly with a little elbow pad to the cheek on the follow-through), about 2 feet from the ref. Lagace started yapping, and the ref just turned his head and skated away.
Not sure what's up with your D, but if they can't orchestrate a breakout here and there, it's going to be a short playoff run, no matter how talented your forwards are.

I can see a close play and possibly missing an offside but Hoffmans goal not to take away from his shot was way off side. Are the linesman blind? How do you miss it?

Umm...did you run the video and hammer the pause button as Hoffman gets the puck to the blueline? I did, and at one point it looks like the puck and Pard are on the blue line at the same time. I will say though that watching it at full speed, live and on the video, it certainly does look offside at full speed. I thought it was for sure offside watching it live last night. Hammering the pause key though shows a different story, or at least that the call is not quite so easy as it first appears.

It just appears offside because as Hoffman gets to the blueline he turns and takes 2 strides along the blueline while the other Seadog player flies by him heading to the front of the net.
Clearly ONSIDE

After watching and listening to the play by play of the saint john announcer i realize just how bad our production is, kenny made it sound like we were playing horrible . Meanwhile this guy actually calls the game and you can understand what is happening. This was a fantastic game to watch and the eagles were in it except for some defence problems.

Well, to be positive, it was a close game considering SJ posters said only Adam and Legault showed up.
I was in Halifax last week and it was Adam and Horyl that stood out that game. Also, Legace was invisable except for the dumb 10 min miscoduct he took with Adam in the box (and no Dion or Legault). Mario was staring at him, shaking his head. I don't know what happened to this guy??
I also thought Brodeur is playing too much. Paul hurt his hand fighting so they were down to 5 D & they played PEI the night before so the big guy looked wore out and caused him to make mistakes out there. They should start dressing 7 D and play the 5-6 guys a little more or the top D will be out of gas come playoff time.
With us destined to play Saint John or Moncton anyway, we should play the 5-6 D more and roll 4 lines so the top guys aren't wore out trying to get us meaningless points.
By the way, is it really better if we drop to 4th and play Saint John 1st round (0-6).

That basically is what's up with our D. Ward went down and rather then replace him we trade him away and just make the hole bigger, and Kalin Paul being brought in to fill the gap is like putting a band aid on a gun shot wound. Lagace sure looks to be worth Roy, a 1st, and 2nd.

They're built to win....only winning can be a positive. And 3rd or 4th doesn't matter, that's the shitty part of this final stretch, this team has nothing to play for until the playoffs start and this year there's no 1st round warmup.....it's come ready to go that first Friday or we might not even be playing by the next Friday.

The Hoffman play was not offside he seen Pard flying in and whipped his stick over the blue just as Pard came across close yes sure but not offside.

i was expecting a Bernard/Johnston tussle-what happened? Johnson offered and Bernard shook his head no but there is always Sunday I'm not sure if Johnson will be with the Dogs Sunday. He is back with Summerside on Saturday night in Truro. Summerside also has a game on Sunday..I assume he'll be there.

Yes Jack, 3-2 is pretty damn close. I said it was a positive considering some posters said Adam and Legault were the only forwards to show up. Just imagine if we actually got some goals from Lagace or a couple other forwards. Also, we out shot and out hit them, won more faceoffs, so it couldn't have been as bad as Ken made it sound to be. So Jack, you can actually find some positives in a huge 3-2 blow out. And you want some more positives, if he keeps up his play, Lagace will be back next year.

So Jack, you can actually find some positives in a huge 3-2 blow out. And you want some more positives, if he keeps up his play, Lagace will be back next year. And if we were dominating teams like Halifax instead of ALSO losing 3-2 then we could probably take many positives out of a 3-2 loss in a tight game, but when we're losing to Halifax and following it up by losing yet another game vs SJ then sorry, I fail to see positives. We've sacrificed enough assets that losing doesn't bring positives, especially when it means you're like 1-10 against the top 2 teams in your division. Winning faceoffs and body check stats doesn't matter much with a record like that. No excuse for a team that sacrificed what we did should accept being mediocre against what are supposed to be fellow contenders. But i'm sure things will be fine with 12 games left to get ready for the playoffs. There's no need to panic here, we've got the good teams in this league right where we want them....ahead of us....
