This game probably doesn’t need its own thread but why not
The Acadie Bathurst Titan are in town for the first snowy game of the year and first November game of the year against your Halifax Mooseheads.
The Moose have 3 games this week one being tonight and the other two being Friday and Saturday. Halifax has been ranked #1 in the CHL Top 10 Rankings for the first time since 2018! (Correct me if I’m wrong)
Hope no one’s on the candy hangover tonight in the crowd and we’re all ready for some Wednesday night action!
Go Moose Go!
LINES Cataford / Vidicek / Dumais Levesque / Todd / Fournier Ponzetto / MacPhee / Peitzsche Fontaine / Moser
Crosby (Out) Kilfoil (Team Canada U17)
Moravec / Furlong Schultz / Phillips Martin / MacKinnon

I have a funny feeling this one could be a blowout. I am going 8-2 Moose!!! I’m going 6-1! Jake Todd gets 2, Dumais gets 2, Vidicek gets 1, Cataford gets 1. Bathurst get on the board first early, only goal they get. Dumais will get 4 points and will inch his way to Brandon Benedict’s record from 11 to 7 points away.

Rough game wow, passes not connecting and Bathurst playing decent defensively and burying their opportunities. Feel like half our players aren’t alert today, MacPhee feels really off.
Oh well.

Mid-week game, shitty weather, decided to not bother going and was feeling guilty- check the score and glad I didn’t go, waste of time, appears most of the Mooseheads thought the weather would postpone the game.

To be fair - and I know I might be a little too optimistic - I believe this team has the skill to comeback, especially against the titan. Will they? That depends on if they want to.

Wow. I left at the end of second thinking this was a done deal. Crazy that we can come back 4 unanswered goals in the third. But is it crazy?........... Not with the #1 team in the CHL its not. What a 3rd period effort by the Moose. Vidicek with the game tying goal late in the 3rd. Nice to see Furlong and Martin with their firsts, helping get us to overtime. Very similar goals. Wonder if this is a set play. It works if it is. Nice shots by both D-men. Overtime players made sense to me. But I was a lot confused on why they went Phillips to finish the game over Cataford. But it all worked out anyways. Lesson learned perhaps??? Looking forward to Rimouski Friday night.

Have to give credit to Keller, who was incredibly solid even in the loss. Good on the Mooseheads to stick with it after 40, tweaked the lines a little and slowly chipped away.
What great awareness by Levesque on the tying goal to essentially pass it to Vidicek off Keller's pad. He was the most dangerous player for us in overtime on top of that as well.
Watched Roelens closely today and while not flashy, he does a lot of the little things right. What a mammoth of a man. Excellent in the faceoff circle (when he wasn't getting thrown out by the one linesman who refused to drop the puck all night). If the price is reasonable, I think Hennebery would be a solid addition as well to the middle six.
Fun comeback! And Cataford really rubbing it in on the celebration lol.

Hilarious seeing all these posters who just completely bailed on the team here.
The moose were the much better team in the 1st. Then they fucked up badly in the 2nd to give Bathurst too many great chances, and they buried them. Going to the 3rd I figured if the Moose could get one early, they could come back in this one. Sure enough...
They had 1 bad period, but recovered. Though the quality chances theyve given up in the past few weeks is worrisome.

Not sure if this is a new thing or not, noticed all the players wearing Neck Guards today. Happy to see it. The WHL made it mandatory today. The Q will probably follow sometime this week.

Wow, I can't say I expected to see a 5-4 win when I checked the site this am. Takes a confident team to be able to pull those ones off.
It's great to be banking wins and points, but I can't say I'm a fan of the last 3 games. Being outshot 2:1 in two of them and down 4-0 in the other isn't a great recipe for sustained success. But keep winning, and hopefully they will fine tune the next few weeks.
