Whooaaa. Might as well celebrate while we can.
On a more serious note , they're off to a decent start. A little more work with the defense and we could really surprise.

Agreed, but we also need some secondary scoring as well. A game like last night's was a good example. The "BLT" line can't do it all, all the time. Nice to see Askew have a good solid game.

It was nice to see Rumble switch the lines in the 2nd to have Lalonde back with Askew and Garland. That line works well and will get better. Barbashev and Tkachev can play with anybody ... last night it was Smith, but I think Legere might fit there as well. I'd like to see the Smith/Johnson/Olivier line stay together because I like how they work together.

Hopefully someone can step up to play well with Barbs and Tchev as Moncton will need a third line that can score as well as shut down the other teams top line. Championships are won by depth. Looks like the Defense needs some work but that is to be expected until the pairings are finalized and they get familar with each other. Power Play also has to come together (should get better once Pwr play units are sorted out).

The win against Quebec probably carried a lot of weight. No way to quantify that they played like crap and half their team is afraid of being traded...lol

No way to quantify that they played like crap and half their team is afraid of being traded...lol Can you give Moncton a little credit ... instead of downplaying absolutely every little bit of success. You hate Roger Shannon ... because he helped build UNB into a powerhouse ... and so there is nothing he can do that you will ever give him credit for. Therefore, the Wildcats will always be shit to you ... even though you support them. You live in some really fucked up world. Quebec simply isn't that good up until today. Just because they are Mem Cup host doesn't automatically make them better than us. They have a few solid pieces up front (not including what will come) ... some decent Dmen ... good goaltending ... but not a whole lot of depth. They'll certainly be better by Jan 6 ... but they haven't been that impressive to this point this year. That meeting between us an Quebec also had players on our side worried about getting traded ... the Sweeney rumour was all over the rink ... with talk of other players involved. We had just traded away two of our top players including our Captain ... do you not think that would have an effect on our play also ? This is a pretty solid team we have here. All of your negative bullshit won't change that. You're a Shannon hater ... but I think he does a good job.

Was it really necessary to spew all that bullshit in response to my post? All I did was state a fact...and it can be proven pretty easily by looking at the games played against top teams...but whatever floats your boat... For all your BS about me knocking the team, the front office obviously agrees if Lalonde and Takchev have been traded and Sweeney Dubeau and Barbashev's names have been out there on the trade market. You're just pissed off that they are selling instead of what you suggested 2 weeks ago...

You're just pissed off that they are selling instead of what you suggested 2 weeks ago... What did I suggest ? I suggested we go with what we have but improve the team with a view for next year and forward. They traded Lalonde and Tkachev because they were problems ... and we got better because of it. That is so far what we are doing. I'm not a fan of the Tkachev deal but when a player asks to be traded you aren't in a strong bargaining position. The real tell on the affect these two players were having on the team is they were both traded the day they were eligible to be traded ... when they came back from injury. I don't have a problem with you "stating facts". I have a problem with you only wanting to state the negative "facts". 98 out of 100 of your posts about the Wildcats are negative shots. Even a positive post is veiled in negativity. If you discussed both sides of the coin then nobody would care ... but you have become a hateful person on here ... nothing is good enough ... BECAUSE YOU HATE ROGER SHANNON FOR DOING A BETTER JOB THAN YOU IN BUILDING A CIS TEAM !!! Your bias is disgusting.

We're going to need a big wide shovel for all the BS you're spreading today...wow I'm not building any CIS teams, so whatever sources you have they need an upgrade. I don't hate anybody, just talking hockey, but it seems to "serious" for you that you feel the need for your little rants...maybe you need a drink... Bottom line is the Cats have been a rudderless ship since the 2010 title, you can't blame Shannon for all that, he's only been in charge a few months. 5 years with one 1st rounder(which was a bust in Shea). At some point you need a strong base of young assets if you are to be strong every year, right now that isn't the case. They have some good young assets, but not nearly enough. I think you're just pissed that you stated the team could compete with anybody and shouldn't sell, then the front office did the exact opposite a few days later and started selling, that was 10 days ago...now you have egg on your face. Kind of funny that you go on other boards to antagonize their fans and stir the pot, but if anybody says anything negative here you take it personal... I guess I'll have to sit back and wait to see what other BS you can come up with...~yawn~

You have avoided the subject at hand by posting something that you have said over and over again ... something negative. I'm not asking you to stop posting negative comments ... I just want you to call a "spade a spade" as you like to say ... and say something positive when you see it. Is there nothing positive to talk about on this team sitting in first in the division and 2 pts off the league lead ... and the top scorer in the Q. Did we just fall into that because we are so shitty ? This team can still compete with anybody (posting this before 11:00 am when the trade window opens). The league isn't strong ... the top teams this year are shadows of the top teams we have seen over the last 5 years.

I guess I'll have to sit back and wait to see what other BS you can come up with...~yawn~ You say the Cats "sold" but like I said in another thread, it was addition by subtraction. They got rid of one of the worst captains in franchise history and a disgruntled Euro. You just like to critique everything the Cats do. You were upset at the Hynes trade last year and upset with the Leger trade based solely on size. Ummnn, no ... Not to go all chsb and throw a former player under the bus, but two completely different situations ... O'Brien was obviously good, and got caught in a numbers game and to some extent became a victim of not wanting to play ball on the organization's terms (i.e. unwilling to play Junior A at 16) ... having seen Hynes for half a season, he reminds me more of Brett Malone than Zach O'Brien ... At this point, for Hynes to succeed in the Q, he probably needs to play as a top 6 forward, and IMO he has a long way to go yet to get there. He can really finish though, showed that in preseason, but hard to do on a checking line with grinders like Halabi. Could look like a bad deal in a couple years. You were right, it does look like a bad deal but only for Bathurst. swap a small 17 year old who was doing nothing for a small 16 year old works for me! Would have been better to just use the pick...unless Leger has a huge growth spurt or some amzing skill we have yet to see... Maybe next time you can wait to see the player in question instead of just dismissing him because the Wildcats acquired him. I don't know what you have against smaller players but you always have to hate on them and throw insults around like midgets and smurfs. You always say the smaller players need to grow but how about you take your own advice and grow up. Merry Christmas!
