The Mooseheads play three games this week starting with Charlottetown and then a back to back against Cape Breton!
Lines For Thursday
Reynolds (debut) | Vidicek | Cataford Kilfoil | Larmand | Peitzsche Moser | MacPhee | Ponzetto Welsh | Fontaine | Bent
Moravec | Phillips Schultz | MacKinnon Martin | MacKenzie
Milner Madgett
A big test today for Peitzsche and Moser getting upgrades for this game, Peitzsche on his off wing. Hope the D pairing of Martin/MacKenzie has gotten a lot of practice in because they have looked atrocious together.
Cataford moves to the right wing, a move that hasn’t been done in a little while it feels like, I could be wrong.
I’m going with a 4-3 OTW today, the new guy Reynolds with the winner.

I don’t think I remember the last time you predicted a mooseheads win.

Tough not having Rousseau in the shoot out. Milner seems to have really improved his game overall.

Not much to say about today’s game. Reynolds had about 4 chances to make it 2:1 but was just unlucky. I like his game tho. Milner was definitely not the reason we lost.
On the bright side of things: Moncton lost against the Titan. And it looks like BC may be getting a loss as well but don’t wanna jump the gun there with 20 min left.

Credit to Charlottetown for playing a good game yesterday. I said to be patient before. We have a handful of impact players missing and will more than likely be adding an impact 20 year old at some point. It seems strange to be struggling to score though. I think the mindset that the season hasn't started yet is kicking in. Still 4 or 5 games left with a depleted lineup, and the Eagles & Wildcats are up next. So they have to get it together at some point or they might find themselves in too deep of a hole to catch 1st place.

Thought Peitzsche and kilfoil and Milner were fantastic today with the 3-1 win , I think Reynolds’s on a weak seadogs team was great but on a real good moose team I hope he finds his game I know it’s only 2 games but should pick it up quickly , we’re gonna be a real threat to win it all with another addition or 2 and the boys back from juniors and Injury !!!

Larmand and Ponzetto also had good games as well today Larmand was winning face offs and is really fitting in with his energy and defence . Milner has really turned it around I must say I never saw that coming . Beaten Cape Breton in their own rink with big crowd down 5 players is a good win by the Moose !

Milner has been playing excellent when he’s needed to be, very proud of his improvement. I want to apologize for grilling him a month ago. I’m not going to lie I’m still worried about Rousseau getting hurt and having Milner in for crucial playoff games. But that’s just how it’s going to be. Hes not putting him the same numbers as someone like Cole McLaren did in 2019 but he’s playing just as well as a role and is maybe getting more tougher matchups then McLaren did that season.
It’s so hard to get a grasp of what this team is without Levesque and Crosby who were on a point per game pace before injuries.
I just can’t see Larmand staying but he has definitely started getting comfortable to say the least, I really only see Bathurst maybe being a fit for him. I doubt he’d play in Sherbrooke if we got Mianscum, but that’s a discussion for later this week.
Onward to Halifax for the New Years Eve game in what looks like to be a sold out crowd or near! Should be fun. Go Moose!

Got to go see this one, felt like a really solid, complete team win. Controlled in the first but maybe the chemistry seemed a bit off. First 10 minutes of the 2nd was CB’s best stretch and the Moose bent but didn’t break and Milner was solid all game.
Middle of the second it seemed like things clicked a bit for Cataford, Reynolds and Vidicek and they had a really good second half, lots of control and the three played well.
The D pretty much to a man had a great game, a very mobile and versatile group. Mackinnon had a force of a game… big blast leading to a rebound and the winner from Kilfoil, would like to see Mackinnon shoot twice as much. And in his own zone he was ruthless and physical.
Phillips also had a standout game. It seems like he’s transitioning out of the quiet, steady, sometimes unnoticeable game to starting to drive chances and plays and leading rushes. I think if the trades happen and the depth and the offence come together that we’ll see him rack up some points in the second half.
Just a strong game from the entire group… forwards, D, goaltending… good battle, fun to watch.
Still curious to see what CB does in trades.

Didn't get to watch last nights game but from what people are saying it was a great game. Won't be able to catch tonights game either - which is really sad given the sold out rink.
Does anyone know if the guys from the WJC are gonna be back for the Moncton game next week or the game in PEI on Sunday? The tournament is over the 5th so I am doubting they'll be back for Saturday? But maybe Sunday - if they can get on the bus with the team Sunday morning?
