Eagles vs Mooseheads (Jan.21st 2024)

[JEagle]

The Eagles are looking to push their win streak to 5 when they play the Halifax Mooseheads today at 3 p.m. , the Eagles are coming off a 5-2 win against the Sea Dogs last night while the Mooseheads last game was a 3-2 win last night against Chicoutimi.

Looks like it'll be a good crowd today when looking at tickets available on ticketmaster so hopefully everyone will be treated to a good game.

Interesting to see Biggar on the 3rd pair.

It’s his first game back from an upper-body injury so they probably just want to shelter him a bit is my guess.

Eagles are lucky to head into the 2nd period scoreless imo, Halifax was the faster and more physical team that 1st period after they settled in.

I'm not there but watching on TV. Thought both teams looked really sloppy, both teams definitely showing signs of fatigue from playing yesterday.

Would have loved to grind at least one point out of that game, but it is what it is. They played right down to the final buzzer so the hustle is there even after a busy weekend of games.

Need a few days of rest and recharge here and hopefully close the homestand on a high note.

Very solid game for the Eagles after a slow first period. I would like to see the shot attempts by the Eagles, missed the net a lot. I counted 3 goal posts and 3 missed breakaways, that game could have gone either way. Really miss Shortall's physical play, the Moose love cutting to the middle, he keeps them honest.
