When’s Sundays potential Game 6? 3pm? 4pm? 5pm? To be determined. But I would imagine with a possible quick turnaround for game 7 it will be as early as possible.

I think the first game is huge as both teams are on winning streaks coming in to the first game . If the young moose win first that’s 3 games in row counting the season games against Quebec giving them more confidence to go with the high they currently are on . If Dumais comes back hungry and plays up to his ability I like are chances Moose in 6 games .

The blue nose marathon is that morning, they usually use the Scotiabank centre surface for the post race events. Not sure how that will affect things/game times

Hopefully Dumais is energized from watching that series. Halifax needs him to step up. Every time he gets the puck, he can't be holding up at the offensive blueline and and turning it over. Worked in regular season, not now. Time to push it and force things.
I hope Halifax gets their forecheck going more than they did vs Sherbrooke. They played on their heels for long stretches. Leaned heavily on Rousseau. It worked, but kinda playing with fire doing that too much. I'm loving the defensive identity, but let's push the pace vs Quebec.

If Dumais does return for this series I hope they don’t put him in the top 6 right away. Don’t want to hurt what helped us cruise passed Sherbrooke.
L’Heureux | Lawrence | Boucher Doucet | Vidicek | Cataford MacPhee | Biasca | Dumais Peitzsche | Fournier | Crosby

L’Heureux | Lawrence | Boucher Doucet | Vidicek | Cataford MacPhee | Biasca | Dumais Peitzsche | Fournier | Crosby No they will put him on the 2nd line with Vidicek and Doucet. That would make that line most effective, plus it might get Doucet going more 5 on 5. He seems to be doing most his damage on special teams. Don’t touch the L’Heureux Lawrence Boucher line though, that is clicking.

Reesor mentioned Que on a 20 game unbeaten streak. Moose are 16-4 in their last 20 games with 12-3 record in the playoffs. No slouches on either side in this one and I wouldn't call the Remps the clear favourite...while they have home ice, Halifax has shown it can succeed in hostile road envoironments.
Head to head Halifax won both games but they were tight. Hailfax has faced adversity in the playoffs and fought through it. Quebec has not so it is unknown how they'll respond if they come up against it.
It's the Q-league Cobra Kai battle of LaRusso's

Que is 12-0. Halifax has been down 0-1 vs Moncton and 0-2 going TO Sherbrooke where their home record was stellar, up until the playing Halifax.

All due respect, care to explain? Que is 12-0. Halifax has been down 0-1 vs Moncton and 0-2 going TO Sherbrooke where their home record was stellar, up until the playing Halifax. They've been facing adversity since January with all the injuries missing Nause, Gaucher, Malatesta, Huchette, Darcy and Komarov for some games to several months. While new additions on other teams were having strong starts, Robidas took a lot of time to adapt. They even lost the top of the standings to Halifax before taking it back. The semifinal last year was also a big fat lesson for this team. First round... while Gatineau and Sherbrooke were scoring goals in tons, they had to find ways to beat a very good Robillard in the first two games. Second round... everybody knows how Beausoleil coached teams are tough to beat in the playoffs. There was just no space at all in their zone. They had to work hard for every inch. Game 3, Rimouski comes back from 0-3 to 3-3 and Quebec found a way to win in OT. Game 4, again, Rimouski makes it a close game that ends with an EN goal. Semifinal... it was the closest sweep in the history of the league. Gatineau was 35-1-1 in their last 37 games. Game 1, when it was 3-2 Quebec, Gatineau dominated the whole 3rd period. Rousseau kept his team in the game. For 15 minutes in the 3rd, it was relentless pressure by Gatineau but Quebec found a way to turn the tide and score the big 4th goal. Game 2, Quebec was winning 3-1 but they lost Nico Savoie and Robidas to injuries. Gatineau came back and made it 3-3. Again, Quebec found a way to win in OT. They lost their best defenseman for the rest of the series. Game 3, same story, Quebec is winning 3-1 but Gatineau makes it 3-3 and then 4-3. They were dominating but Quebec scored the big game tying goal before doing it again in OT. Game 4, Gatineau scored 9 seconds into the game but again, Quebec scored the game tying goal. They kept the score 1-1 despite Gatineau applying tons of pressure. Quebec scored another big goal when Truchon made it 2-1. Gatineau has been the best team on the ice for a better part of this series but Quebec's experience with adversity proved to be important.

My observations from the Gatineau series was that it was extremely tight, and it very easily could've been tied 2-2 after four games. Probably the most closely contested sweep we'll ever see. I do agree that actually losing games causes more adversity. But the 2013 Mooseheads were 12-0 heading into the finals against a tough Baie-Comeau team, and not having adversity didn't affect them. Having adversity affected Sherbrooke negatively. They weren't the same team after Halifax tied game 2 with 9 seconds left. That was the turning point of the entire series. Quebec losing a game will test their resolve. But they lost 4 in a row before winning 20 in a row. If that 4-game losing streak was a test, mission accomplished so far. Game 1 will be a huge statement for one team, and it will be up to the other team to fight back.

Do you realize you went 12-0 and have trailed for approximately 17 minutes of the 750 total minutes the team has played? Not much adversity there, in my opinion. Pretty low anxiety level in those numbers.

So they should have lost in one of their three OT to make you think they did face adversity? The fact is that the series against Gatineau was close from start to finish. They faced adversity and came through every time. The first words out of Roy’s mouth after the series were about his team’s resilience. Must I point out again that Gatineau has been the top team since January? Most people on this board and around the Q gave the series win to Gatineau. Now that Quebec has won in 4 games, they did it without sweat? If I was just looking at stats with the Moose like you did with the Remparts, I’d say they had it pretty easy in the last 4 games outscoring Sherbrooke 16 to 4.
