I'm sure pens just sat quietly and didn't taunt anyone too lol. 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..... Since I had no prior knowledge of Ehlers doing that, and didn't see the game, as it was in Charlottetown, not sure why I need to "get over myself"... I would have called him out as well if he pulled that shit.

How has Graves looked during these two games for VD? He was solid. Didn't notice him a ton, but he's one of those guys where that's a good thing lol. The whole VD defense was rock solid tbh.

The post game show...they also discussed the problems of playing a battle ready team when you have a cakewalk to finish the season. 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. why is someone a troll for telling you what was talked about on the post game show? Sore loser? You guys have won so many games in the last 2 seasons, that maybe you don't know how to take a loss.

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. I'm sure pens just sat quietly and didn't taunt anyone too lol. 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.

Classless. Glad the refs did not fall for it and hand out a penalty to Halifax on the play. Players react like that every game....lay on the ice, the out for the next shift, or even on the powerplay they drew. Trainers will actually tell them to stay down....even if it's just to catch their breath...it's part of the game and every team does it.

I would have called him out as well if he pulled that shit. OK....so you not watching the games in Charlottetown makes it alright for you to call a young hockey player "classless" because he was out the next shift after he got hit? Even one of your own fans said that it was a bad hit and could have been bad..... 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. That was my point......you calling a kid classless because he may have been hurt, but wasn't. If the shoe were on the other foot, and that was Weegar lying in the corner, and he ended up playing the next shift, you'd call him out? I seriously doubt it.

Not a fan of the fake injuries to draw a penalty, no matter who does it. Fraser threw himself into the boards- no one on Halifax touched him. That's why there was no penalty. To sell it like that knowing he did it to himself is the classless part.

To sell it like that knowing he did it to himself is the classless part. You do realize that you can be hurt on a play ... lay on the ice in pain ... and then get up and be back on the ice a short time later. Have you ever been hit in the nuts with a frozen tennis ball ... or maybe had the wind knocked out of you ? The pain goes away and then you can function again. Some people will even play in pain ... especially hockey players. Was Stamkos faking last night ? Last night in the Red Sox game (I watched the end after the Habs game), Napoli got hit by a pitch square on the knee ... and we all know that really hurts ... and he was down on the ground writhing in pain. But a few minutes later he got up and walked to first and stayed in the game. He must have been faking. This tired argument of "he was back on the ice a few minutes later" is just simply BS and just a biased fan spouting off about something he knows nothing about. People can play hurt ... why is that so hard to understand.

I really under estimated Val' Dor. They are huge and fast. There size and seed is giving the moose defenders a hard time. They are also playing there systems to a T. Halifax just seems to be like a car stuck on ice they can't seem to get any traction. Any little bounces seem to go Val'Dor's way. It also seems like most of the time the moose just can't seem to settle the puck. And sadly the one thing that we all have come to feel is the one for sure thing when it come to the Moose, is not happening. And that is Fucale going to be steady. I know he's only human but he has always seem to make it look easy. He just seems to be rattled this series.
I'd like to see the lines mixed up a touch to spread out some of the speed. Here what I think Som should try. Ryan, Drouin, Ehlers Gadoury, Andrews, Ashley And the 3 rd line I feel has worked well all playoffs. With Meier, Moyniham and Caimpini or Shewfelf they do what they need to do. Mainly I just think they need to split up Ryan and Andrews. Ryan seems to have to work well with Drouin when they were put together. Another thing I seemed to notice is Ashely is having a very hard time handling the size of VD. He needs to keep his feet moving and hope for a misplaced stick to trip on or something to start drawing penalties. Another thing that Halifax's needs to improve drastically is there faceoff percentage. They are getting owned in that department.
I think there's 3 keys to winning - Fucale has to be Fucale. - spread out some of the size and speed - win some draws. This team is a puck control team that is starting every play on the defensive side of the ice. Out of all these they need Fucale to be Fucale! If that happens he will give them the chance to win every game.

Some of those soft goals that Fucale gives up that didn't hurt us before are hurting us now. He can not let in any of these goals if we want to win. I stand by my statement the Fraser was an embarrassment to play out an injury to the extent that he did. I would be embarrassed for Weegar if he did the same thing. Meier looked foolish on one play when he threw himself into the boards head first looking for a call.

Big difference in this series from last year and Rds 1 and 2 this year ... is you aren't huge favourites to win this series ... its about even this time. Every other series you've been in in the last two seasons you guys have been hugely favoured to win ... and rightly so.
Now you face real pressure ... dangerous scoring ... and excellent goaltending ... and just showing up isn't good enough anymore.
Fucale seems to flourish when the pressure isn't too heavy ... but not so much when the pressure is far more considerable. I think you'll see him be much better on the road ... but not sure he has ever been better than Bibeau ... just on a better team.

Don't tell them that, if you take out my VDO in 4 prediction, over 90% of them voted that Halifax would win. Heck, 27% of them are already wrong(Hfx in 4 or 5). I'm going to be called a troll for pointing this out but whatever. Luckily, Howitzer left the poll open so you can all change your predictions.

It's not so much the predictions that matters, that high and mighty attitude from Mooseheads fans. The second someone comes here and gives a point of why you could lose or why you did lose, they are attacked(mostly personally) instead of even trying to contradict their point. The fact that someone came here and said what he heard on your post game show and was called a troll for it pretty much sums it up. Sadly, that's not an isolated incident.

Well what is truly sad is lots of posters gave up posting here. The minority that stayed were die hards who mostly post to refute a lot of BS which even when its not BS just follows the theme Porkchop, Guru etc plant just to get them going. Many fall into the trap and the crap just continues. So when a legit outsider posts its like throwing meat into the water, the shark bites first to see how it tastes but then its too late to take it back even if its not the rotten meat they are use to. You never know what the bait is going to be on here. It use to be a good site to get info and discuss legit team management etc but now its often a waste of time. Guess I need to stop wasting time too. Good luck the rest of the way.

Go back and look up Foley's posts. Every post was a dig at the Mooseheads or trying to get someone like myself riled up. Unless I am extremely paranoid that's what he was doing...very subtly. I will apologize to him if I was wrong to call him a troll. Same with the Moncton poster who comes on here after a Mooseheads win and post video of a Gatineau goal. Yeah nice goal....why didn't he post Ehlers goal which was nice as well. Are we all that naive to think that wasn't a subtle way to get under our skin. I guess I am a little too sensitive. I apologize for that.
