Who had Fortier from Lussier in the pool? lol
What a shift by that line... constant possession in the zone. Actually thought to myself "could this line actually get the winner here?"

Max Fortier was outstanding from the second period on tonight, obviously Dom saw this because he got a regular shift in a situation where a lot of our younger guys saw the bench. The goal was well deserved, but he was a constant threat using his speed tonight, and you could tell he got more comfortable carrying the puck and getting physical as the game went on.
He's not used to playing against players this big or strong, that's going to be his biggest adjustment. There was a game he played against Gatineau where Fortier looked overwhelmed physically by Q caliber players; tonight he looked like he belonged.

Raimu it is called experience ! Another great pick by Russell. He will be a good one for Halifax. One more Halifax win and another chance for a trip to the Memorial Cup !

Great draft pick by Russell. Bet he wishes he had a do-over on the Murphy-Gazolla trade though. Gazolla is coming back to bite Halifax big time- he's been amazing in this series.
What a tip though by Max though- got it literally an inch from Bibeau's glove.

What a tip though by Max though- got it literally an inch from Bibeau's glove. Nobody expected Gazzolla to be THIS good for sure... but we were facing a logjam of 20's this year and most importantly - Murphy is 18, and helped us win the title as a 17 year old. He will be kicking around for 2 more years and could be used as trade bait too. I doubt Russell takes that trade back. |

Yea I think you're undervaluing Matt Murphy. He's be incredible for us this series. We only play 4 defensemen most of the game, and hes one of them. He's more comfortable joining the rush, and he's just been solid all-around. I wouldn't take that trade back, especially considering we Lewis and Duke would have to go.
Gazzola has been good tho.

Like any business transaction, the exchange should be good for both sides. The Gazzola/Murphy trade was one where both sides won.
If memory serves me correct, Gazzola is undrafted. If that is indeed correct, something tells me his stellar performance will earn him a few invites.
Persoanlly, I am happy for him. Whether is was change of venue, maturity, or ... regardless of what, there is a pretty good chance he will continue to play the game at a higher level next year. And that is what junior hockey is all about.
Good for him, and, good for the Mooseheads.

Gazzola is often overlooked when it comes to how good Cam's scouting and free agent acquisitions have been. Max Lindsay wasn't exactly a home run, but Weegar, Gazzola, Gadoury, Lussier, all really good finds that are paying dividends one way or another.

One thing of interest regarding Murphy. He had more points 5 on 5 in the regular season than Weegar did. |
