Surprised no one has started this, so I guess I will.
The Mooseheads try to bounce back after losing game 3 at home last night, still leading series 2-1. They always say game 4 of a series that is 2-1 is the most important of the series; in this case it's apt. HFX can take a strong hold of the series with a win; Moncton makes it a best of 3 with a win tonight. I'm not predicting a result, but I have a feeling the Mooseheads will play better tonight than last night.

We're the better team 5 on 5. We need to not come out flat and stay out of the box, it's that simple.

We're the better team 5 on 5. We need to not come out flat and stay out of the box, it's that simple. I don't think you are. I think when Moncton is forechecking hard and moving their feet, they are the better team at 5 on 5 ... hemming you guys in for long stretches. But penalties have tended to switch the momentum back and forth, and they (mainly referring to Moncton) lose that hard driving posture that served them well before the rush of penalties. I found that Moncton would lose their momentum when they'd have to kill 2 and 3 penalties in a short period ... and it took awhile to get it back. They usually got it back when they got a PP of their own. Both teams need to stay out of the box ... as in any series really. Both teams have a good PP and so penalties can easily turn into goals. Plus ... killing penalties wears the players down. Moncton needs 4 lines working hard ... and they'll win. We lost games 1 & 2 because we had too many passengers. If we have passengers tonight ... we probably lose.

You had 4 PPs to our 3, in game 2 (there was only 1 stretch during the game, in the 1st period, where you got multiple called in a row). In game 3, there was 1 instance where you had back to back calls on you close together, and it was in the first period. What are you watching? Where is this strong 5 on 5 team which is always getting their momentum killed by multiple penalty calls on them?

When both teams are playing at or near their best, it only stands to reason that Moncton should win. They have played better all season. That being said, squeaking out a 4-3 win to stay in the series is hardly them getting back to form. I'm used to seeing Moncton shut Halifax down in a 3-0 or 4-1 win, not losing 7-3 then 6-3, then a nailbiter.
Dubeau played better last night, but not great. Brassard was ordinary and had a lot of trouble with the point shots (got beat on 2 of them). On the PK, Halifax players looked like their skates were glued to the ice- especially on the 3rd goal.
I'm shocked that the Moose were even in a position to win last night to be honest. I thought Moncton would come out much harder and stomp them. Maybe that will happen tonight. Fatigue has to be setting in for Halifax after the 7 game series with Shawinigan.

We need to come out flying tonight, we have to be better and we have to keep them out of the front of the crease so Brassard can do his thing, 5-3 Halifax I have a good feeling about this game I think the boys will bounce back tonight. Oh and we need to stay 5 on 5. (They bounced back in game 4 against Shaw after losing Game 3)

Moncton may have been the better team 5 on 5 in the regular season, however based solely on the three play-off games between the two, Halifax appears to have the one up on Moncton. Halifax is the better 5 on 5 team in this series.

Game 3, we came out completely flat and looked like a Midget B team in the 1st period. Once we got back on track we carried the play 5 on 5. I don't think Moncton had 1 dangerous scoring chance 5 on 5 in the 2nd or 3rd period. You continue to post anything to get a rise out of people. Some things never change. Too bad for you we actually watch the games.

About 30 lower bowl tickets left. Probably 2,500 upper bowl tickets left.

I have to respond to some comments on the previous thread about JS Taillefer and his bad penalty last night. Yeah it was dumb. It was unbecoming of him. He has been the weak part of the D all year though. Not fast enough skating back and he is a defenceman?? He is diminutive for his position and has been probably forced to play more than he should.
Somebody today wrote on here that it seemed Ducharme benched him after his penalty...
Really? He had a 17 minute penalty - by the time he got out of the box the Moose were at the point they needed their best scorers on the ice pushing to get an equalizer. On that bench JS would be the last guy you send out there at that stage. If the game had gone to OT he probably be back playing.

Too bad for you we actually watch the games. Moncton had a chance to skate out of period 1 with perhaps a 4-0 lead in game 3. Consider the puck that hit the cross bar. It was all powerplay. Except for the first goal. They won THAT period. Of all the periods its the only period played in this series they won. Most of the game is played 5 v 5 ... Enough said Brassard has to be better than in game 3.
