This was a great win to get. They persevered through a bit of penalty trouble in the first to get the big OT win.
The goals they had on one of the best goalies in the league were highlight reel worthy. The OT goal from Squires will get all the talk, and deservingly so, but the Romeo top corner snipe glove side to beat Rousseau and Newcombe goal were also slick. Even the goal with traffic in front was just a good way to execute a good simple play with traffic.
Milota was solid when he needed to be with the D holding up.
There was one point in the 3rd where they were tied 4 a piece, when one of the players had an issue with their skate. I believe it was an icing and the refs would not let the CB player off. I would have to look at the replay to see the sequence (I know the player is only allowed to leave in exceptional circumstances), but the equipment guy was tending to his skate as soon as he went off. Felt like a close one there.
Anyways, nice to see them show mental strength in closing a tough end vs Moncton, and to then come back from a deficit vs a heavily skilled Halifax team.

Not completely related to today's game but in regards to Saint John 1st Round 2024. With SJ Loss today, and Gatineau/Quebec both winning they have pulled to within 1 and 2 points respectively of sending SJ 2 further places down the standings.
