Why don't you crawl back under your bridge troll. I guess the worse thing u can do is reply to someone like yourself. Maybe your team will be half decent next year and you will have a reason to post on your own board this time of year. Betcha can't wait till September. Sigh...I remember my first beer too. We all know u come on here and make your little comments regarding the Mooseheads, making little digs. Seriously...who is your team? Why are u posting on here? You make digs and then try to make posts that u really have interest in the games when u are really being sarcastic and patronizing. Get a life...really.

Gatineau was as hard a battle as you can ask for, and both teams had an easy 1st round. VD are hardly "outbattling" us, they have just been more opportunistic at this point. And I don't mean that in a bad way per se - they are generating a lot of offense from the blueline and keeping it simple on the road. Hopefully we do that in VD. I just don't think Gatineau was as deep as VD. They had to take penalties to stop the Moose 5 on 5...which of course opens the ice for Drouin to goto work. VD has game breaking skill with Mantha and more support players with skill...like Halifax had last year. Of course VD are deeper... and more talented. But as far as being "battle tested" I don't think that is really a factor in their wins to this point as Halifax are playing better than they are as far as speed and control, but are having trouble finishing. Guys like Andrews and Ryan just aren't getting big chances, and the 3rd line guys are mostly unable to get the puck to the net from the perimeter. Drouin can't do it all, all the time, and Ehlers seems to be snake bitten as he is misfiring on a bunch of great chances and just not as sharp as usual. Unfortunately Ashley isn't quite himself yet either. We need some goals from Moynihans, Meier, Luca etc. VD are doing a good job on Drouin's line right now.

Yes..the foot soldiers need to have some success. If they can focus on the big three...and nobody else chips in it will be tough to get back in the series. But if Fucale can steal game three then it seems like the series isn't out of reach. How nice would Mackinnon have been to have back for just one more year?

Reffing shouldn't be predictable. Just call the legitimate penalties and not the dives, which lose the games for teams. Its too late to give a makeup call because the goal the other team scored is already on the board. Fraser was a joke down in the corner laying on the ice like he was shot, took how long to get up and then was on the ice the next shift. What an embarrassment. I feel like this is a bit of an emotional post. I'm not sure where you sit but I sit in section 3, I had a perfect view of Fraser going into the boards head-first. He hit pretty hard and it was a scarier than some of the more drunken and classless fans were making it seem. He's out the next shift because Val-d'Or only plays 4 D. Seriously between the 2 nights combined, I think Gravel saw the ice less than 5 minutes. Granted, same could be said about Fitz tonight.

Why do I feel like we only have 1 line now that can score? The cheap call that gave them their 4th goal on the PP was the backbreaker in my opinion. Kind of took the wind out of our sails after we scored our 2nd goal. Then calling the phantom call on Mantha to "even" it out after that fact was a little too late for the refs to make up for their "mistake". Three penalties to the Mooseheads on dives by the Foreurs. I wonder about the refereeing of games sometimes when it just is so obvious that they are calling makeup calls and everyone is expecting it. Reffing shouldn't be predictable. Just call the legitimate penalties and not the dives, which lose the games for teams. Its too late to give a makeup call because the goal the other team scored is already on the board.

Because no one from Halifax does that........said no one ever.

Val-d'Or are not deeper nor are they more talented. They're up 2 games to 1 off the backs of unusually weak performances from our team in game 1, and a terrible outing by our goaltender in game 2. To say they're deeper doesn't really make much sense. You see 4 D and 8-9 forwards 90% of the time. Same can be said for us, but equal depth is not greater. its equal. Their team defense is underrated tho, in their own zone they've been fantastic and Bibeau has been the better goalie.

Hopefully Drouin takes a look at what Nate has done in his first 2 playoff games and uses it as inspiration up in Val D-Or.

To the ass holes the heckled me and my fiancée and told us she slept with the whole team, suck my fucking nuts. To everyone else who jumped to my rescue in section 14 and shook my hand after thr game, thanks. Despite it all, I gained respect for Mooseheads fans. Sent from my SGH-I337M using proboards I don't condone such garbage ... but it happens. And it especially happens when you wear the visiting team jersey. So while you might enjoy the attention ... you brought it on your GF. Wearing the visiting team's jersey is just painting a big target on your back and the people with you. Especially in the playoffs when things aren't going well for the home team ... idiots are going to lash out.

With respect to fans wearing visiting team jerseys, there was no problem for Moosehead faithful in Gatineau. Of course, there were more of you than us.

There are some real assholes in Halifax, but most people are cool, and realize it's just a game. Not sure how anyone can condone Fraser's act though. Literally wasn't sure if he was going to be able to get up, trainer rushed out and he stayed down for over 2 minutes, then when he went back to the bench and didn't go back to the room, I knew it was all an act. Classless. Glad the refs did not fall for it and hand out a penalty to Halifax on the play.

Get over yourself......Nikolaj Ehlers took a hit behind the net in the Charlottetown series, and the way he went down, and stayed down, most of us thought he must have been seriously injured, clutching his throat as if he couldn't breathe. He was down for well over 2 minutes, yet was right back out next play. Video shows he never got hit anywhere near his throat or head. What a classless guy..... Must have choked on his gum...... Perhaps look in your own backyard before calling others out.....it happens all the time in hockey, and Moose players are no different.....

Especially in the playoffs when things aren't going well for the home team ... idiots are going to lash out. Meh. I can take it and so can she. We've gone to MANY games cheering for the opposing team MLB, NHL and QMJHL but this was the first time I had someone hurl insults like that and start offering money to me lol. And to GMAN, I'm not a confrontational guy, you can ask anyone in the section, I didn't fire back until late in the third period and I didn't swear. But like I said, Moose fans around me told them to let me be, etc and a dozen fans after the game shook my hand so if I was being classly I don't think they would have reacted that way. I know a lot of Moose fans are upset but I still didn't think you guys were that bad. Bibeau vs. Fucale was the difference. Fucale is one of my favorite goalies in the league but you can't let an unscreened floater go under your glove in a tie game. That set the tone for him, he lost confidence and while the other goals weren't weak, he wasn't able to make the big save like he usually can.
