Not to point fingers and be overly harsh after one game but…
Wish the organization would move on from Cam Russell, he did a good job with this franchise but I think his time is finished, too many missed opportunities. He brought in some great players but he’s also made some awful moves as well.
The one I absolutely hate the most is trading Robert Orr to give Logan Crosby more ice time. Braedan MacPhee ended up getting that slot and now he’s out of the lineup indefinitely.
In reality, Desnoyers and Barron should’ve been traded when they could’ve been.
Gatineau ended up getting Bobby Orr and guess what they did? Flipped him to Bathurst with a 1st for Riley Kidney.
Sometimes I just wish I ran the team but that’s just not how it works lol. Just get a new General Manager with our new Ownership please, keep Favreau if you want for a little longer I don’t care. Just need someone new to make the decisions around here.
Imagine if we traded Justin Barron to Val D’or instead of when Jordan Spence was traded there, that pick just got #1 in the QMJHL Draft Lottery.

I'm a little surprised at the comments about how bad the Moose played to be quite honest. This was not the same as the 4-1 loss in game one last series in my opinion. I felt Sherbrooke's speed was just too much for Halifax overall. Their defense snuffed out a lot of Halifax's attack in the offensive zone. That speed on offense caused Halifax to make a few mistakes that resulted in goals. The Moose had a couple posts in the first 25 minutes of this game. Even with the ice tilted, one or both of those chances go in and perhaps it's a different game.
I'd rather them lose like they did in game one against Moncton than how they lost tonight. There was really no concern after game one last series. Halifax played a horrible game and you just knew they were going to be better in the next games, and they were. This game feels different. I don't want to be the eternal pessimist, but if this game is any indication, Sherbrooke are noticeably the better team.
The Leafs just beat the Lightning while arguably being the worst team in 4 or 5 of the 6 games. I feel like for Halifax to win this series they have to get breaks, and they have to make the most of their chances. Both of which happened for the Leafs.
Moose do have room for improvement. Just have to hope they find their best game tomorrow.

And it also hurt the Moose's future a bit. |

There’s a reason Halifax moved on from him and then Gatineau, 2 teams that were good this season. He’s just not that guy. Cam is one of the best GM’s in the league, who’s going to replace him that’s better? Sometimes things in this league are out of a GM’s control, one bad game in the 3rd round isn’t reason to fire your very successful GM. |

Actually, I am not even impressed by the Phoenix…they are just a little better than the Moose, they make the same panicking mistakes. And Josh Roy reminds me of Dumais, I think they are very similar players…we do not see them much, but when they make a play, it is a killer….I guess that is a definition of a top prospect at that level…not many control the game unless your name is Crosby, McDavid, MacKinnon, Bedard. Where is Whynot?? |

Moose really need some breaks today, and a strong bounce back performance like they had in Game 2 against Moncton. They had some unfortunate bounces last night hit the post twice, and a good chance they had the ref got in the way.
Hopefully Whynot is okay and back today, I expect the Moose to bounce back today almost a must win can't have to win 2 in Quebec.

And was Cam supposed to know the MacPhee was going to experience a death in his family and not be able to play? Barron had a no trade so that deal was never going to happen. I think Cam is a great GM, but it seems you want him also to crystal ball for things outside his control. I don't think there is a GM that has that, especially at a junior level. |

Anyway, name one great gm that hasn't made bad moves? |

Hell of a player, really wish the Moose took a chance on him a few years back after Patrick Roy got sick of dealing with his agent. |

Hell of a player, really wish the Moose took a chance on him a few years back after Patrick Roy got sick of dealing with his agent. Honestly, it could have happened, and AB got a steal in that deal, where Roy took a major loss in capital after trading 3 picks to move up and select him in 2019. For Quebec it was a bad situation because they needed to essentially guarantee Malatesta the ice time in order to stay him from the NCAA and Jacob was locked into the Q, along with drafting Gaucher you have 3 elite 16 year olds (basically 3 first round talents) in your lineup and only so much opportunity. Roy comes away looking both good and bad because on one hand the guy he rolled the dice for and talked up so much turned out to be exactly the player Roy described when he made the trade, but on the other hand it wasn't with Quebec and he ended up selling very low, definitely a price Halifax *could* have paid at that time. Halifax probably wouldn't have made at least 1 of the deals they made if they had him this year and things turned out pretty well, but he is the most unique player in the Q and has a case to be the overall most impactful with his skill and ability to change the game physically. L'Heureux can in some form offset his impact if he is on his "A" game, but he's going to be a handful for Halifax all series long. |

One play by L'Hereux in Game 1 were people said it was lazy it actually wasn't his fault the ref got in the way on the play, I wish they'd officials would stop getting in the way.
(And sometimes the linesmen are so lazy, pretty sure Furlong's helmet was on the ice 5-10 minutes and the linesmen did nothing about it)
