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? Usually when they get home they get a week or so to go home and spend with family since they basically missed Xmas Unless you’re insanely dedicated like Bedsy, he went straight back into the Regina Pats lineup lol, but yes I think the boys will get a little break. |

What’s going on with Ponzetto? He’s had some great passes so far and is playing so much better than a couple of games ago…

He’s had some great passes so far and is playing so much better than a couple of games ago… I agree that there's a slight trend towards the positive but it's so hit and miss and inconsistent with him. He needs a switch to flip in his head that he's a big kid and can take some pressure, some hits, some battles. |

Kilfoil looked really dialled in today, I was impressed.
My first time seeing Reynolds today, he’s very well composed and poised, nice speed, he’ll be a reliable PP guy, but I don’t think I saw 100% compete from him, looks like he’s playing cautious, unlike guys like MacPhee, Kilfoil, and Cataford whom were giving it their all every shift. I can see Reynolds playing well with Dumais. But please please please get an upgrade on Larmand.
Not a bad game overall but need more scoring up front, Ruccia is a real solid goalie so it’s not like we had an easy opponent. 1-1-1 week is not terrible.

I have been carefully away a little, but it is not easy to watch those past 5-6 games. I get that it is too late to go back since the Reynolds trade, but this team needs too much right now to be a legit contender. I will wait until trade deadline, but I just can’t do the math of the number of key guys that are needed. However, I agree that we have a legit chance of surprising, but very low.

Hold up - things may not be as bad as I thought. BC is way ahead of everyone but look at their opponents and division. The teams in their division are horrible. Kinda like the maritime division last year. They barely play any of the contenders such as RN (playing them 3 times in the next weeks - should be interesting) or Victoriaville or Drummondville. When they have played contenders they have lost a couple of games. What I’m saying is that we shouldnt take the points BC has by face value. They may be inflated. The mooseheads were in a similar situation last year. This year the moose face a strong division which makes it normal that they loose and win some more - especially given the missing players.
What do y’all think?

However, I agree that we have a legit chance of surprising, but very low. 2 more trades (impact 20, another middle 6 guy), World Jr guys back and most of all, a HEALTHY lineup, Halifax will be a contender as much as anybody. Every team will have holes and weaknesses. But Halifax has the star power no other team in the Q has. You can ride that far in playoffs. |

I don't think they played terrible by any means, I don't know why but I don't feel like CB deserved that win.(I'm still not convinced there 2nd goal was in and Rooster would have had the five hole one, Milner has come a long way but still). Split in the Battle of NS isn't bad on to Moncton who I'm sure will be looking for revenge after we beat them 5-0 in Nov.
