Burke won't be coming right away. It takes a day or so to process the paperwork for Tkachev's transfer and the Gov't offices are closed on the weekend. There's a rumour around B-C that Zykov will be on his way to Moncton. That doesn't really make sense, BC has a better team than Moncton.

If Sweeney is indeed going to Quebec, what if Quebec sends Booth and a defenseman next year? It would be Sweeney + Tkachev vs Booth and Brouillard Does it make sense? Value wise it would make sense...

Quebec's GM said that Booth isn't going anywhere. The only player he'd be traded for is Fucale. So I'm puzzled as to who this goaltender is. There seems to be way too much Fucale love...he's another Olivier Roy in nets at this level (only he's had better in front of him).

Did he make the WJHC team?

Did he make the WJHC team? He didn't get to play behind a team like those Mooseheads either...I'm not saying that Fucale is bad...I am just saying that when Halifax expected him to be one of their biggest stars, he has struggled.

Not sure what you were watching. Those halifax teams had a lot of skill but not great defensively, Fucale had to save their bacon a lot.

Those halifax teams had a lot of skill but not great defensively, Fucale had to save their bacon a lot. They'd score 7 and give up 5 ... Fucale didn't have to be great. Halifax won the Mem Cup because everybody jumped on McKinnon's back ... he was sensational ... Fucale was not. Roy didn't have a McKinnon ... nor a Drouin. Fucale is exactly like Roy ... great as a 16 YO ... but never really improved much from that.

Fucale is exactly like Roy ... great as a 16 YO ... but never really improved much from that. Except that his GAA has been approximately 2.30 (middle years) - 3.20 (rookie, and now this rebuilding year) over his career - hardly winning the games 7-5. And if we are scoring 7 on the other teams, are all their goaltenders bad too? You make it seem like the guy can't stop a beach ball, despite being a 1st round Q pick, 2nd round NHL pick, and a 3 time goaltender for Canada at international tournaments. I don't know why other goaltenders on good teams over the years aren't CONSTANTLY getting criticism that they are only good because they have a good team in front of them, like Fucale does. Perhaps maybe he is a big reason we have had so much success in his 4 years? Our team style has never protected the goaltender well - our defense has always had the green light to jump up into the play for example, especially in the Memorial Cup year.

Fucale is exactly like Roy ... great as a 16 YO ... but never really improved much from that. So in 2012-2013 Fucale was giving up 5 goals a game huh... if you going to hate on the kid at least make some claims that can be supported by facts. According to you he gave up well above 200 goals that season... actual stats show he have up 124 goals in 55 games. The Mooseheads only gave up just under 25 shots a game in which he played but the proportion of those shots which were considered dangerous would have been relatively higher than say a goalie like Cadorette as Baie Comeau played a tighter defensive game. I know I'm not going to get a Moncton hater like yourself to change their mind- Fucale plays for Halifax, Fucale sucks blah blah blag. But for those of us who have watched him for 3 and a half years now we know how he came up big for us in the Memorial Cup final game and along the way. Even this year he isn't giving up 5 goals a game... you are so full of shit!!!

I was referring to the Memorial Cup ... he gave up 15 goals in 4 games ... but his team scored more than that so it didn't matter. Oh yeah ... tell us about that one save he made. In the regular season ... no teams had the puck long enough to score 5 goals ... a monkey could have tended goal for Halifax and they win in a walk.

We were good, but it's not like every game was a walk in the park, 50-10 shot game. There was a month where Ciampini/Ashley/Boudreau was our number 1 line for example. Our defense core was not even that good to a man, as it was fairly young and inexperienced overall (Weegar, Murphy, Hardie in particular).
