That penalty on macphee at the beginning of thay period is nonsense. Leave your crease and you're fair game. Not like he tried to hit him. If you have a 50/50 collision the goalie is at fault. Must be starzomski in the stripes tonight...just awful in my humble opinion.
Really miss lawrence and doucet on the pk. It was almost an advantage to us to be shorthanded last year when those two guys would just skate down the ice casually and score a highlight reel goal. Fournier banging home some garbage! Love to see him going to the dirty areas! That's a goal that even Brandon vuic or Justin saulnier could tap home! Ponzetto is invisible out there. I noticed him throw a hit but didn't notice a single play that he made. Hope he doesn't end up as our next Barinka or Safin. Already have moravec eating up a EU as well as a OA slot. Need our other euro to be a stud. Hopefully he turns into a meier where he has a quiet year then turns into a beast, even though I wish we drafted an older guy having just this year in mind. Moose have really turned it up in the 2nd! Great snipe by Louie! With losing so much talent up front they still have people stepping driving the play...And that's without dumais. Him and Levesque together on the pp are really going to cause some damage I think. Would even love to see them on again line together then keep cataford and vidcek on another line. That is practically an automatic penalty. There's no 50-50 in goalie collisions.

Fournier looks great! 2 goals. Both hardworking earned goals. I still stand by my comment saying he prob shouldn't be pp1, he's not a finesse guy, hes a North South hard working bang it home goal scorer. If he keeps this up he won't be getting replaced at Christmas like a lot of people have said.
Rousseau is going to steal a lot of games this year. He's so calm and and poised...those type of Goalies don't have many highlight reel saves because they don't need them! They are never out of position and never leave bad rebounds. That 3rd period snipe he could have and probably should have had but didn't count anyways so no harm no foul... He made some key saves earlier.
It's good to see the moose have some close(ish) games this year. Last year was just expecting to win every game and complain when they didn't lol. It's nice to see the boys work for a win.
Mack with a nasty hit...as Don cherry would say he caught him in in trolley tracks...that's why you don't take fighting out of the game. Mackinnon should have had to answer the bell there.
Wish they'd have more replays for reviews. One quick little replay then they just show footage of the zebras for 5 min til they make a call. That last victo goal looked offside but they didn't show any lead up to the play...just a 3 sec clip so hard to tell. It's almost like they try to protect potential miscalls at the q level. Nhl they'd show a replay over and over...
2 points for the good guys! Gonna be there tomorrow looking forward to seeing some live action!

Nhl they'd show a replay over and over... 2 points for the good guys! Gonna be there tomorrow looking forward to seeing some live action! High tech goal reviews happening in the Q. The two linesman standing in the penalty box looking at a little IPad over and over for 10 minutes on both reviews. Hilarious. They might as well just show it over and over on the scoreboard, they can probably see it better. Victoriaville did look pretty cocky when they went up 2-0. It is great Fournier is scoring but I still believe they need an upgrade. Very excited about Levesque, he is pretty smart out there. Great draft pick. I thought Lafontaine was going to be the top rookie this year. The guy that got hit with the puck was ok. The puck almost hit my Son and he moved and it hit the guy behind us. He luckily put his hand up to his face and it mainly hit is his thumb, but caught his face a little bit. He was ok. He was actually awarded with the puck. It was under his seat. lol. I am actually pleasantly surprised by this team the way it is now. I don't want to get too carried away though. Getting Dumais back is the cherry on top. And a couple of more forward additions at Christmas and I think we are good.

Here’s the line scoring after 6 games
Peitzsche (2) - Vidicek (1) - Fournier (4) Levesque (3) - Cataford (2) - Crosby (3) Ponzetto (0) - Kilfoil (1) - MacPhee (1) Todd (1) - Fontaine (0) - Moser (2)
So we play Blainville now! The Armada just came off. 5-3 loss in Cape Breton Friday. Gravel was in nets, as I mentioned earlier I definitely think the goalies will be Jack Milner and Edouard Gauthier for this game.
I wouldn’t take Blainville too lightly, Jonathan Fauchon is a real solid player, they seem to be getting points throughout their lineup. 20 year old Xavier Sarrasin is another guy to look out for had 52 points last season, only has 3 so far. Also welcome back James Swan! Anyone forget about him? I did. Only 1 goal through 6 outings so far. Kristers Ansons whom I wanted Halifax to take got picked up by Blainville a little after Ponzetto, if Kris scores I might be a little salty for no reason lol. Blainvilles D isn’t the greatest but they did interestingly enough sign of their old draftees that went the BCHL route, the player played for the Alberni Valley Bulldogs his name is Emanuelson Charbonneau has 2 goals 1 assist so far.
But if Halifax can play with the same attitude they played with against Victoriaville I think they can pull a 5th win in a row, which would be awesome this early into the season, I’m fine with a couple losses, but some early heat is awesome. I won’t be attending this one but I’ll be following!
Go Moose Go!

Caught my first game in person in quite a while. Things I noticed: Levesque looks great. Very quick and very smart. Nice little toe-drag snap shot for his goal. Cataford is tangibly bigger this year. Should only help him as I believe his production slowed down last year as the season wore on. Crosby was really using his size along the boards and driving wide. Good for him. Kilfoil seems to be the total package: Skating, size, skill. Just needs some experience. Ponzetto looks like baby horse, in that his legs look too long for his body. Todd was good on the PK. It’s nice when you can give some of your top 6 a break. The 6 D are all so poised back there. They hardly ever get running around in their own end for very long. Only once in 1st when the 4th line was on, and it ended with a goal. But usually they go back for the puck, make one D to D pass, and it’s out.
Victo has a big team. If they ever decided to play big, they would be a menace.

Not a great first by Halifax, but once they settled down they had a great 2nd and 3rd period it's almost like once they got ahead Victoraville stopped playing. I personally don't like interference call if the goalie is out of the net they should be fair game, refs were sub-par last night but sometimes I like that they let the boys play. Rooster made some big stops when he had too don't think you could really fault him on any of the goals.
Missing tonight's game, will be following online hope the boys get a 5th win in a row, so who does everyone think we should target for a 20? Or maybe Cam will surprise us and get someone from another league again.(Maybe there's another gem out there)

It's still very very early, but Moose have some momentum right now. With Rousseau going again, tells me Midgley senses that too and wants to see how far they can ride this.
Swept a 3 game road trip and then aside from the 1st, dominate Victo last night. Get on a run and put some points in the bank.

Some great chances in that period, just couldn’t bury. Catafords got a rocket of a shot! Let’s bring the momentum into the 2nd with limited turnovers! Go Moose

Not an eventful action packed period, just need one to tie. Come on Moose.
MacPhee having a rough game out there. I was praising him yesterday.

This team has gumption, what a fun season this will be. Gotta love the attitude and work ethic. Enjoy it while it lasts - I've been told we are sellers this year. On the plus side, I'm sure if Brody Fournier keeps this up he might bring back a first round pick. Who would have thought! In all seriousness, we look not too bad considering we are missing last year's league MVP and are only playing with 2 20s.
