Everyone wear black tonight, you could be watching the Moncton Wildcats 2014-2015 funeral.
Season's not over yet but this is as uphill climb as you can get. The power play let them down again last night at key moments and if that continues, this series is over. Fucale is an ordinary goalie but we aren't getting many quality shots on him. It's gutcheck time, let's do this!
Go Cats Go!

Fucale has badly outplayed Dubeau so far in the series... 3-0-0 1.67 GAA .940 vs 0-3-0 3.67 GAA .875% I'm sure Quebec has had more quality shots, but still a huge gap statistically.

Stats are stats, but personally I believe Dubeau has been very solid for us. What I find crazy are the amount of odd man rushes we continue to give up....thankfully the D broke up a few but still allowing way too many. No question Quebec is the better team.

Dubeau has been our best player BY FAR in my opinion. The amount of quality chances Quebec is getting compared to Moncton is probably a 5 to 1 ratio and I'm not exaggerating.

If I have learned anything from the influx of posters on the moose board over the years, that means little. Quebec aren't exactly running you out of the rink here, based on the results so far (its acceptable to make educated game comments based on scoresheet - another tip I have learned). Fucale got shit on WHILE having league leading numbers, let alone when he had mediocre numbers.

Dubeau wasn't as good as in the other two games last night. He threw himself in front of Graves and gave him easy access to the open net. He also looked bad on Etchegary's goal.
Fucale was great in important moments, especially on the 5 on 3.

Him and Barbashev stopped playing at 4-0. It was Garland who got beat by Etchegary on the 4th goal. I guess Rumble didn't like their game and at 4-0 he gave up on the game and wanted to rest his best players for tonight. Garland, it's the same story every night. Real talented players but right now his 2-3 min shifts don't help the team. When Moncton was using its other lines they were playing well.

Against Halifax, letting Garland and Barbashev play long shifts didn't hurt as much, but against Quebec they'd be better to play a more grinding game and using 3 and at times 4 lines with short shifts. You have a better chance of outworking them than out-skilling them.

Wow shots on goal 25 to 20 for Moncton yet 5 to 1 ratio in Quality. I would not totally go by the Quality chances listed on the Q website but you are EXAGGERATING. That would mean if Moncton had 4 quality shots Quebec shots were all quality(20). LOL if that's the case your team really sucks outside of goal. BUT maybe its the non calls! But yes we know Dubeau gets compared to Auger as the best goalie in the league, even at 20.

Chances includes broken up 2 on 1s, blocked shots, missed net, hit posts, etc.

Looks like Fucale has found his groove , watching him in game 2 (sitting close to him for 2 periods) he appeared very calm even when Moncton was applying huge pressure and the puck was going everywhere, he also was directing his players , I see why the Remparts wanted him, and why he has won a memorial cup and gold medal !!
Dubeau has played well in this series but has let in a couple of soft goals, he won't outplay Fucale but has to have his best game tonight.
The Remparts are fast , physical and are deep, they should have a good Memorial Cup run , when Rimouski came to town I thought that they were the team to beat , but Quebec has improved every round and seem to be getting better and they are getting the goaltending they needed.
The Wildcats should be proud for making it to the semi-finals , they should have won game 2 but I guess it wasn't meant to be ! They are really a 1 1/2 line team that has depth but don't have the snipers that the other top teams have at this stage in the playoffs. They have played above my expectations and a lot of young players have really gained a lot of valuable playoff experience.
I have heard/read from lots of posters that they wouldn't go far especially after trading away Lalonde and Tkachev and look what they accomplished ! They didn't give away anything at the Deadline - (with Quebec loading up and Rimouski having a great team I would have done the same ) and with a little luck at the Import draft and picking up a goalie they should be good again next year.

Pathetic play of first line thus far. Under minutes gone and already -2 on score sheet. Good hustle back to help defence
