Big Day for one of the Big names in Eagles Hockey History . A well respected and well liked Coach by all who played for him at every level . Blair Bearcat Joseph was an icon in our Community who deserves to be recognized for all his contributions both at the Rink and away from it . A win would top off the day .

I'm not sure how to fix the powerplay but something needs to be done to it as it's more of a momentum killer for the Eagles currently.

I think they need to realize they aren't playing against prime Patrick Roy just because they're on the power play, just getting pucks to the net is going to result in a decent power play. I suspect it'll even out over time but right now it's the worst in the league at 4%. Bodes well for the team to be have a winning record with something that should in theory be an easy fix. |

First three goals I believe were all low shots along the ice. They should be utilizing this far more often as the low shot is becoming a dying art.
They played a great 40 minutes against a tired team however they kind of fell asleep at the wheel in the third and a team that wasn't totally gassed from playing 100 minutes of hockey in the past 24 hours would have probably taken full advantage of that.
Regardless of the game, we still came out with a much needed 2 points against a top tier team in the league.

Wasn't too bad of a home stand in the end 4 out of 6 points and imo could of been at least 5 had the puck bounced a bit differently Wednesday night.

Actually JEagle, the Power Play is 1 for 30 after 7 games which is about 3.3% effective, while giving up 4 shorthanded goals.
I agree that it's been a momentum killer so far.

Why on Earth would you honour Bearcat on a Sunday game during Thanksgiving.. As a friend said to me, their is zero entertainment value at the game and no amount of winning changes that.

Watching Nathan Darveau become unglued at the end of the game definitely brought some theater into C200 today! And I guess they picked today for the Blair Joseph tribute because of the date (8th) |

And I guess they picked today for the Blair Joseph tribute because of the date (8th) That won't sell any tickets because the team won't be back until next year. It's embarrassing that we have an owner who is rich is running the team worse than when we had the team run by share holders. Anyone with a brain cell should know, Sunday on Thanksgiving is not a good time to honour someone who is that important to the team history. |

I agree and the Weather certainly didn't help , heavy Rain and 80 kmh Winds . I know there are a lot of Older Folks in our Section and they are gonna say that they were not gonna sit in a Cool Rink for 3 hours soaking wet or drive any distance in that weather for that matter . Once they heard Tropical Storm Phillipe ..........that was all she wrote . |
