I can give u some ways...stuff happens a) undisciplined penalties by Moncton b) sloppy goaltending by Dubeau or great goaltending by Brassard c) get a lead early and protect it - not as hard as trying to play catchup hockey d) Ehlers and Meier are both due for a big breakout game again e) Ducharme f) Game ends up in OT and breaks happen... Its already amazing that they were even in the last two games. Some of the healthy Moose players are just in a league of their own. I like yesisaiditfirst's positive thinking approach. While I have always respected McSwain's knowledge, I don't think now is the time for him to share that point of view. Wait until the Mooseheads playoffs are over (whenever that is). Don't get my wrong, I am still hoping...just stating my opinion on the outlook based on observations. It doesn't look good for the Moose right now. If I were a player in the dressing room or a coach I would not be stating those opinions. As a fan, from a distance....I agree with Reesor. We are allowed to be realists. I know anything can happen...but right now the tank is running on empty. The main point I was trying to make is that no matter what happens, this has been a great run for the team. I suppose I can wait to give a more detailed post on that for a few days. To Steve...I agree Ehlers and Meier can win a game on their own. The chances of them doing it when completely fresh are actually quite high...the chances right now when they have been playing 30+ mins a night for a while now are much lower than usual. Not impossible, but unlikely. Losing Gadoury and Fortier has been huge, especially for a team that really had no depth to begin with. We need them back to have any chance

Barbashev, Garland were better than Ehlers, Meier. That was the x-factor; depth wasn't. That is directly related to depth though...having none puts a tonne of pressure on your top guys, and lack of depth eventually wears them down so that they can't keep up with the other top guys. Completely fresh, I will take Ehlers and Meier over Garland and Barbashev any day. Right now though I fully expect Garland and Barbashev to look better

Another game in the series where we got 1 PP, and yet some STILL complain that the reffing is one sided for Halifax. Its not about the stuff they call ... it is what they don't call. I watched the whole game and if Q offiiating were like that every night I think more people would enjoy the games. I expected a few more Halifax penalties. Especially to pad the 3-0 lead in the first and just as they started climbing back in the early 3rd

Yes. And I think it's hat is his third aggressor against Moncton this season. Who was the aggressor against? I don't know what he did to get it, a bit tough to see when the camera was panned out. But out of a pretty harmless scrum, Klebyanski (?) dragged him out in a headlock, and he had to wrestle him to the ice to break free of it, then they sort of grappled at eachother over the linesmen. There must have been something else. Moynihan was pissed, reacting - not instigating. But again, didn't see every second of what he was doing out there. I know some Moncton names just dont make sense - its is one of: Klebanskxx Klebanskyj Klebanskqjyz

We need them back to have any chance Yeah we relied on the top line a lot this year, and they dominated in a 7 game win with multiple ot games vs. Shawinigan. They dominated again in games 1-2 vs Moncton. In games 3 and 4, without the usual 2nd line to spell them off and maybe chip in some offense, they still played well but you could see the fatigue setting in. Game 5 they looked flat and frustrated and exhausted...but still finished fairly strong and nearly tied the game. Their dominance and energy took a very noticeable dip once the 2nd line went down. It would be great to get some guys back for game 6 though its not looking likely. Could be the last game we get to watch Ehlers so I hope he can have a big game.

I don't expect Halifax to go down without a fight, would love to see some more Moose magic for a few more games, Sad to think this may be the last game we ever may see Ehlers in a Moose uniform, but as I've learnt with the 2014-15 Mooseheads never ever count this team out!

Wrong way to look at it. I have stuff I do this time of year and once again scheduling around hockey games is disrupting that. See the reverse psychology. Either the season ends which is a bad thing or the season continues which in some ways also bad -- If I may add here I think the Moose had an internal goal in round one to get to play a postseason game in Scotiabank arena. Those players like Ehlers/Hardie who may not play another junior game now the only motivation is what they bring Sunday..one at a time.

Sorry but as long as u guys are associated with Gerry Green and his massacre of names there is no hope... Nauss is not Nawww or nau. Its Nauss (Nawe-ss) the S makes an s sound Moynihan is not Monahan like the Flames player its MOY (rhymes with TOY) ni-han How does he learn names with a J at the end anyway? And does not a single person that works with him not pick up on these mistakes and tell him this?

And how does a name get pronouned with NO VOWELS? Well, according to John Moore Taillefer sounds almost like Taipei when it is pronounced "tie-fair"
