I think we lose this one in 5 ... the schedule is not our friend. Quebec will be rested and we are on fumes. If last series is any indication I think the rest last time took edge from Moncton's game...Quebec may go through that now Really! You think the rest was the whole reason this series went 7. lol I would say any team would rather have a break than back to back game 7s but I am not a Moncton fan like you or are you just sucking up?

He's just saying that the Cats came out flat the first two games despite the rest while the Moose came out on fire despite going to 7 games. I understand his comments and it gives reason for the Cats to be slightly optimistic.

Moncton played awful the first two games. Halifax was the more tired team. The reason it went 7 was Moncton coughed up the first two games. Dubeau looked out of focus and their PP those games was just passing the puck around. They adjusted it for game 3. All in all Rumble did a great coaching job to save their season. So I stand by my assertion...the extra rest took the edge off Moncton's game - Halifax should not have had that fast start in the series.

I think Quebec wins it in 5...maybe 4 if both teams play like they did in round 2.
Quebec found another gear vs PEI and Moncton struggled mightily against a team they should have beat in 5. Quebec vs Moncton is sort of like Halifax vs Moncton, similar teams but Quebec is stronger in nets, better on defense and deeper up front. Moncton can only win if they play their absolute best and Quebec plays at 75%.

I think game 1 will sell out and game 2 will only have 3,500.
Once all the fairweather fans who came to boo Patrick Roy figure out he's no longer coaching, attendance will plummet.

So much depends on which Quebec show up. We have seen they can overwhelm with offensive pressure and 40+ shots, but they are also capable of playing stinkers against worse teams. You guys are probably more like CB than PEI - I expect a series more like the CB series for Quebec. I don't know how long Garland/Barb can keep up their effectiveness with that icetime and those long shifts, especially if they are chasing the Quebec guys around for much of the game. You won't have to worry about an elite top line, but there will be more weapons coming at you, especially from the defense, where Halifax really lacked offensive punch from the blueline.
Should be an interesting series with lots of drama. I would guess Quebec in 6.

Should be an interesting series with lots of drama. I would guess Quebec in 6. Moncton, like Quebec has high peaks and low valleys. Game 6 they looked like a Jr.B team from Dubeau on out. If it's pure talent, Quebec wins easily, their 2nd and 3rd lines have a lot more skill, Moncton is a 1 line team on offense.

Tale of the tape:
Goaltending
Dubeau vs Fucale
Dubeau has a history of playoff struggles while Fucale is known as a clutch goalie. Fucale had a rough start with Quebec but played great vs PEI…4 wins 2.10 GAA 118/127 .929% Dubeau was pretty bad vs Halifax 4.29 GAA .827%
Edge: Quebec
Defense
Sweeney-Johnson –Tassi-Malatesta-Klebankyj-Holwell Vs Brouillard-Graves-Murphy-Maheux-MacDougall-Dutra/Lovell
Top 2 are pretty even, Quebec is a bit better #3-4 and Moncton better 5-6. You could argue a slight edge on either side.
Edge:Overall pretty even
Forwards
Top 6
Erne-Timashov-Verrier-Etchegarry-Gauthier-Duclair Vs Garland-Barbashev-Johnson-Burke-Bower-Beaton
Bottom 6
Tkachev-Roy-Carozza-Cuomo-Garneau-Turcotte-Moody vs Cormier-Askew-MacEwen-Tibbo-Jacob-Leger-Smith
This is where Quebec could dominate, they have 3 good scoring lines if their guys show up to play while Moncton has 1 and a half. If Quebec pays at a high tempo and pushes the pace, the series could be over pretty quick. If they don’t Moncton has grinders to slow things down.
Edge:Quebec
Coaching:
Rumble has gotten more out of this taem than most expected, Quebec has underachieved for their skill level overall. Rumble has a lot more experience than Boucher.
Edge: Moncton
Intagibles:
Moncton has home ice but is coming off a 7 game series, Quebec only played 4. Quebec has a louder building. Neither team have a history of great playoffs. Quebec has a spot in the Memorial Cup already so they may be less hungry/desperate.
Edge: Even
Overall, a pretty clear edge to Quebec, but the series is played on ice, not on paper. Quebec in 5

No history of playoff success? In the last 11 years, Moncton has made the QMJHL finals 3 times winning two championships. There's about 16 other teams that would kill for that success.

Playoff success was measured with the current groups on both teams, what the Cats won in 2006 or 2010 has no impact on the current group. Quebec probably has an edge with Fucale and Murphy having won in Halifax. Neither team has had great playoffs the last couple years... Moncton has lost in round 1 the last 4 years, Quebec lost in round 1 last year and round 2 in 12-13.
