Character win for Quebec who only led during 54 seconds in this game. They played a good road game and waited out the Moose That's how they beat Gatineau.

There were a lot of ugly goals tonight, and the moose STRUGGLED clearing the zone. Too many soft plays that lead to turnovers.

The blowouts are easier to stomach than this kind of game. So many "if only" situations and sloppy plays. To give back home ice advantage and miss a chance to go up 2-1 really sucks with a game like this, where they could have easily won it

Sucks in the moment but, that's what will hopefully make it a memorable series

That game was there for the taking. Frustrating loss. You have a bunch of these type of games all year. Unfortunate to have one now.
Quebec almost lulls you to sleep, you make one mistake and boom its in the back of the net. Shit goal in OT.
Moose were not sharp managing the puck in the D zone tonight. Gotta clean that up. It's the details that will win games this time of year. Have to find those bouncing pucks in front of the net.
Agree, Dumais looked good. Limited ice time, but seemed fairly healthy to me. Good to see.

I have both TSN and CHL TV. I watched the CHL TV feed in French. I find the TSN broadcasts have taken on a game long discussion these days more than the traditional PxP and analyst pattern. It has nothing to do with male or female. I just find it a bit distracting to watch Josh Lawrence speed down the ice on a breakaway while the broadcasters talk back and forth about what Sylvain Favreau had to say in a pregame quote (as an example). I’m in the same boat as you, I had to flip over to the RDS broadcast. The two calling the game for TSN were in a studio in Toronto and are obviously not as experienced as others as calling games from a monitor

I'm a little concerned the Moose defense as a collective are starting to wear down. MacKinnon and Phillips were mentioned earlier, but now I think it's everyone. Quebec took advantage of their chances and deserved to win. But our young defense was exposed, and with the quick turn-around tonight, it might be an up-hill climb. I'm assuming Moravec is done, but we'll see. That would be a big loss.

There is no question the D are starting to wear down. Mackinnon I dont find as much as Phillips. The last 2 series he has shown his age. Nothing against his skill. He just is not physically matured enough to handle the size and speed coming at him right now.(-3 on the night) On top of that, I believe it is on the coaching to a certain extent. Our star guys on D are getting severely banged up because they are on the ice too much. These guys are getting gassed and are struggling to even protect themselves when being hit they are so tired. This could cripple us if this goes 7. Furlong(-1), Whynot(0), Mackinnon(0), Shultz(-1) are beasts and can only take beatings for so long. Quebec came out hitting hard last night. Perfect example is Moravec is out hurt, so we are down to 6 D. Guys like Martin(+1) are not our strongest D, but he could play more minutes then coaches are giving which could help guys like Furlong and Moravec(preventing injuries). Then you wouldnt have to play guys like Phillips and Martin in overtime, as are studs would have a little more in the tank. JMO though.
It was really nice to see Dumais back. I thought he played really well. He showcased his patience with that goal in front of the net. I was glad to see he avoided being hit too much throughout the night. It seems like he turns into Houdini when going to be hit. I see Biasca is the only plus fwd on the night. Overall, I thought we played just okay, struggled in our own end, but then again we are playing against the Remparts who finished first in the league for a reason.
Rousseau let in a few softies that he had all day long in the Sherbrooke series. If we can get him back tonight, this series will be all tied up. But we need Sherbrooke Rousseau in this one.
Huge game tonight!!!

We obviously never want to take too many penalties, but the PK was dialed in last night. They've made a good adjustment to neutralize Bolduc's one-timer, and Quebec is not really connecting on the low to bumper play. If we can keep winning the special teams battle, it should bode well for us the rest of the way.
We are doing a good job of limiting odd man rushes, and a great job of creating our own. Lawrence in particular seems to get about 3-4 clear breakaways every game, but overuses the deke to the backhand. Would love to see him mix it up a bit more. Giving up breakaways and 2 on 1s was a glaring weakness early in the season with the D activating way too aggressively and way too often - but that's all cleaned up now.
On the Quebec side, Robidas and Malatesta looked excellent. Need to find a way to get the right matchups and stop those two which is easier said than done. Bolduc and Gaucher have not looked overly dangerous (yet) - Bolduc looks content to do fancy stuff on the perimeter, and Gaucher just looks like he's more interested in chirping than scoring right now. Stupid penalty from him that gave us our first goal on the PP. They are both really talented though - so hope they don't turn it around and make me eat crow.

Well, that was frustrating to watch.
A lot of things went right for the remparts in that game. Moose couldn't clear the zone on a couple of obvious occasions that led to garbage goals. Quebec had about three goals that shouldn't have gone in but the luck was with them and Rousseau didn't get lucky on any of those chances. Ironically at the start of the play that led to the winning goal Halifax had a screened point shot that deflected and hit William Rousseau as he didn't see it and Quebec came down and scored.
Like several had mentioned, Halifax looked to be running out of gas and hanging on. Schultz has to be more aware of taking Malatesta's stick out of that play on the winning goal. He waltzed in and tapped the rebound out of the air.
Losing Moravec led to a lot of piecemeal work on the defense. On the TV replays it looked more like he and the Quebec player collided heads so I don't think it's his shoulder but likely a concussion although he did play a few shifts afterward.
Like I said in the Sherbrooke series a day off between games favors the smaller team so I'm concerned about how worn down Halifax will be in tonight's game.
Not much time for the players to dwell on it. Gotta treat Wednesday as a must win.

Mooseheads got what they deserved. They were beat to the puck on almost every play since the 3rd and looked tired. It was only a matter of time.
Maybe use the 3rd like a bit more to spread it out so the 1st line isn’t as exhausted.

i wasn't terribly impressed with either team
i also wasn't a big fan of the commentary
but it had nothing to do with the gender of the person doing it..... just wasn't great overall by either of them

Not much time for the players to dwell on it. Gotta treat Wednesday as a must win. Defense isn't only about the D though. Look on Malatesta's winning goal, Lawrence and Dumais were cruising. Lawrence also did something similar on PO Roy's goal in the first game. He loses the puck at his blueline and he looks like he doesn't care about coming back.

Lawrence also did something similar on PO Roy's goal in the first game. He loses the puck at his blueline and he looks like he doesn't care about coming back. Defense is a team game. If Schultz had done his job then the puck would have fell at Phillips skates and been moved into the corner and out of harm's way. Schultz came around Malatesta, touched him a little with one arm and allowed him to go unabated to the puck. Dumais moved over to cover the winger, Lawrence would not have been able to prevent that goal and the Moose should have had the play contained from the D-men. On a side note, Quebec FINALLY faced some adversity. :-)
