I think we tie Howitzer. I said we'd need one game to up the tempo. You said we wouldn't need any time. We just needed 10 minutes. Gatineau came out of the gate better, but we were the better team for 50 minutes after that. Even 5 on 5 where no goals were scored. Very good effort tonight. Was a fun atmosphere at the rink.
We did a good job keeping our composure tonight. Vuic took a stupid penalty, but it was the only one, and he'll reel it in. Gatineau hurt themselves by trying too hard to get into our kitchen.
That light show at the start was incredible. Job well done. Go Moose!!

Pretty cool to see, reminded me of the stuff Montreal do with the fire on the ice etc... I thought the guy stumbled into the linesmen at first on that Vuic penalty... didn't think he touched him and then the Gatineau guy crosschecked him. But he didn't argue it much and neither did the bench so I guess he gave him a shove or something.

I thought the light show was okay, but I would much rather prefer a Kevin Power video. Some of those last year gave me chills.

What do yo mean good luck? The Moose don't need any luck - they're going to kick some Pique ass! Indeed, this should be a good series and I expect it to go in six. My only wish is that both clubs stay injury free and no one gets hurt. Whoever comes out the victors will have earned it. There is also some incredible talent behind the benches, and this will be fun to watch as well. This is going be a fun time to be a fan. I've got the Moose taking this one 5-4 in an empty net - it's going to be this close all the way through. Gatineau going with the bold new strategy of pulling their goalie with a 4-4 tie. Lets hope this risky play doesn't pay off. Halifax could be up 4-3 late, Gat pulls the goalie and Halifax scores an EN goal making it 5-3. Gatineau keeps the net empty or puts the goalie back in and Gat scores a late one to make it 5-4

My team has to stay away from the box. It will be hard because your team succeeds by smothering and frustrating the other team, they always play JUST on that line under Groulx. I was happy some of the subtle hooks and interference got called for penalties because if not it only helps Groulx's teams. I thought our PP, despite not scoring on most of them early, were doing a great job of moving the puck under pressure. We seemed to be aware of the PK strategy from Groulx and were executing some passing plays I hadn't seen used too often to get the puck to open guys.

I seem to recall the 08-09 and 09-10 seasons where our playoff attendance was so great. Come to think of it, neither was the 10-11 season. Some non-Mooseheads fans seem to forget we have had a few lean years. I am curious why that can't enjoy the fact that of any team in the Atlantic Division, surely the Mooseheads deserve the last three years. When this run is over, I suspect you will see a lot of Moose fans hoping our club continues its winning ways, while secretly wishing good fortunae on PEI and Cape Breton. Obviously they are due, and I have a real soft spot for the Eagles (just don't tell them). Baie Comeau deserves it more than you do.....they are the ones who obtained the pick to draft the whiner who refused to play for them. Your last couple years will always be tainted because of a player who refused to report to his rightful team.

The first word starts with F I get it that you are a supporter of the worst run and worst supported team in the CHL. We did a comprehensive search and found a coach on his way up. Our GM made some great moves at the draft which ended up in having the assets to trade for MacKinnon and positioning us so we could draft Druion and Fucale. Many other smart moves left us with a Memorial Cup Champ and a team that has a chance to defend. Your last post was nothing but jealousy. So I will say it Fuck Off with your wining.

Holy shit, you don't have anything better to do on a Friday night with your team out of the playoffs? BaC chose to draft the player who had made it clear that he was not considering the Q as an option. Bad move to draft that player then smart move to trade him. Big gamble by Halifax to first trade for the player so adament about not playing in the Q then rolling the dice to get him to join the team. I don't know how they convinced him, but so glad they did.

Wow....solid game. I hope Gatineau keeps giving us power plays. Our PP is better than last year? Even shorthanded we are dangerous. Thought all of the Moose players gave 110%. Drouin and Gadoury play like they have been teammates for a couple of seasons. Weegar looked good great tonight as well. I love Duke and he is solid, but a couple of times he was trying to play a little outside of his game. Just keep it simple buddy you are a valuable guy on this team. Fucale gave up one of his softies, but was there for some solid saves. Keep it going Moose! Oh....one more observation, Dunn is a punk.

I hate throwing out the "trolling" accusation but this is pretty clearly it. In a Moosehead playoff game thread you are calling the local superstar a whiner and saying our championship is tainted - On the heels of arguing our coach hasn't proven anything, and downplaying a simple comment about attendance. And you did this last year too. Only you. Nobody else does this on this board, nobody.

Porky there is something wrong with you. To act like this is not healthy, but I guess it's your hobby. Better than Yoga or something illegal.
