Wow that was ugly. Should we be concerned at the number of shots they are giving up and the lack of shots by the Mooseheads. It is pretty apparent they need to add a few offensive players. Seems to be a consistent pattern and not a good one. Most other seasons it's been the Mooseheads outshooting their opponent. Still, I can't put my finger on what's different... |

As a Cats fan, love to see Milner get the start today!  Are you still loving it? |

These games have been sub-par but there's alsoa bug running through the team that could explain some of the uncharacteristic sloppy play. I'm not concerned at this very moment. The top line has been overpowering the opposition with offense and they're opening opportunities for the middle of the lineup. |

I must not know my hockey enough. If this team is 2nd in the CHL while they barely beat bottom of the league teams, the CHL is very bad this year. But I agree, with this average team, I still thnk that we can win a series or two in the playoff. I know that we’re winning, but like it was said above, pretty ugly, lol |

I can't remember which one it was, but Mike Smith or Mavs mentioned on the broadcast they talked to Cam during training camp. Cam said to them, something to the effect, you can win a lot of games in this league with 1 dominant line, 2 good dmen, and a good goalie. Something to chew on for those thinking Halifax will/should sell. It ain't happening, nor should it. |

I ended up traveling to this game. By the end of it MacKinnon was in the stands with his dad. He didn't appear to have any injuries, but I thought it was interesting he wasn't on the ice or the bench.

For what it's worth, there's only one Halifax poster (I wouldn't call him a fan) that is suggesting selling Dumais, etc. |

Never doubted you are a Moose fan. But someone else keeps pushing the sell option. |

But I agree, with this average team, I still thnk that we can win a series or two in the playoff. I know that we’re winning, but like it was said above, pretty ugly, lol I definitely wasn't trying to imply anything of the sort. All I'm saying is there's some sort of illness running through the team that had several players barely able to finish their second game in less than 24 hours (and in some cases, they were unable to) and they still found a way to win, with their rookie backup in net. Good teams find a way to win games they don't deserve, and the mooseheads probably didn't deserve either game this weekend, yet they walk away with 4 points. At the end of the day, a W is a W, nobody is going to remember how badly we were outshot getting those 4 points when we're battling for the top of the league standings in February. As for people who are all doom and gloom about the holes in the lineup, idk. Look at the traditional asking price for a backup goalie, if Milner ends up not working out they can probably bring someone in pretty cheap, we don't need a 1 or a 1A, just someone who can provide some saves every 3 or 4 games. We don't have game-breakers like L'Heureux or Lawrence or Doucet, that's true, but we do have one dominant line and you can see the knock-on effect that's having. Guys like Levesque, Crosby, Fournier, Peitzsche and Kilfoil are finding their way onto the scoresheet. I won't say that to be competitive the Mooseheads don't need a couple pieces, but like.... it's not as far off as some people are painting the situation to be. If you add another strong center to the mix and this team can compete with anyone. As for the CHL rankings, those have always been questionable. Dumais is a name and they see a lof of the plyers who made the finals last year back, it's easy to see why they want to place Halifax so high, even tho they're probably not the second best team in the CHL right now. |

Also because you always try and bring thing back about me to try and make some point. The funny thing is all you’re doing is giving me the win because I know I’m in your head and thinking about me! Thanks for thinking of me! But if it is me you’re talking about we have 2 players that are the key to Halifax’s success. Dumais is an obvious one but these past 3 games have proven anything if Rousseau get hurt this team is screwed. Even in saying that you if you have been paying attention I have been saying 2 20yo change this team drastically. And I think that’s the play. But thanks again for the free rent in your head! |

Obviously I'm the one living rent free in your head since I'm not talking about you. You're not the one consistently saying that the team needs too much to contend and he was saying it last year too. Judging by his posts he was probably saying the same thing in 2013. |
