That was a perfect storm. I actually thought Halifax started the game really well. But then the first two shots went through Milner and the tide turned. Then the Moose started taking really awful penalties. There was a high-sticking penalty about 100 feet away from the puck which is just bad. Closing the hand on the puck is also bad. Absolutely needless and gave Moncton the 1st period. Rousseau didn't play the best but all of Moncton's plays were working for them and they deserved what they got. After the 8-2 goal the rest of the game was a wash as both teams just wanted to get on their busses without injury.
This team are who they are. These games are going to happen. We just have to hope they get hot at the right time and get good goaltending at the right time.

Law of averages combined with the fact that this team as it's made up right now is a fringe contender and not good enough to be consistent night in and night out. They don't have the depth at forward to handle playing talented teams when the 1st line goes cold, and they aren't good enough defensively to lock good teams down when the goaltending has an off night. That's the long hand version of "this team is what it is".

Yea that was one of our uglier performances. Just nothing seemed to be working. Both goalies were borderline awful as were some of our D men. Nice to see Milner come back in after Rousseau being off as well. Mackenzie really struggled, and I blame the coach on this. He rarely plays and it really showed tonight. The coaches waited for 2 periods but finally broke Furlong and Moravec up to help Mackenzie but too little to late. When our top line is off, the other fwd lines have to be able to bail them out. Just seems like we are lacking in many ways. Not a great feeling this late in the year. Hope tomorrow we can turn things around.

Denis yelling at Reynolds for the pass and beating the goalie clean and losing control of the puck then gets caught missing a line change and puts his hand on the puck really killed the comeback effort.
Monctons team is no joke, their special teams are great. Desnoyers, Sumpf, Loshing, Muller, and more. They got a great team. When the goals started piling up you could see the comeback effort slowly shifting away.
Even that guy Natan Grenier the Mooseheads could’ve had in the Desnoyers trade looked pretty solid.
Monctons free agent signing department has been off the charts.
I can’t comment on the first two goals of the game because I got to the game late, wasn’t feeling well and almost didn’t go. I honestly think that high stick goal should’ve got overturned, it was very close. Not that it mattered. Helped us out.
Cataford/Vidicek were buzzing Shorthanded, Levesque playing well but kept getting the puck stolen, his skating amazes me.
Got a great team here just got to build up chemistry. Great game for Crosby too one of the guys who didn’t stop working while we were down. Coaching change needs to happen, hiring Midgley because of a familiar face was a stupid idea. He’s an assistant coach at best.

Its 100% a fan thing, the visiting team rarely even goes out on the ice. Now most teams are handing out freebees to kids, it makes sense they pick home team stars to unload the goodies.

What to say awful game, hope they bounce back in Moncton today; maybe this 4 game roadie is coming at a good time for us. (I'm also of the opinion Midgley needs to be one and done,but it's not an easy job being a coach and yesterday's loss for sure wasn't on him; he tried to shake things up boys just didn't show up which is really disheartening and frustrating).
Might I add it's hard to recruit a new coach when ours always leave at the last minute when the pool is already thin.

Well... I am even more glad my daughter and son-in-law bought my wife and I tickets for the Stadium Series games at Metlife now.
I was kind of bummed out that we were going to miss this game with such a large crowd that it was going to be but I am glad we missed out on this dud.

So does this team put on its big boy pants today and actually fucking show up or does the downward spiral continue?
I’ll go with the first option the Mooseheads only shit the bed at home, law of averages right?

Moncton wins 8-2, Halifax gives third star to Logan Crosby.
Halifax wins 4-3 in overtime, Schultz gets 2 goals, 2 assist. One being the game winner. And doesn’t get a star. Three stars has become a joke.

Three stars has become a joke. Considering the 2nd star played maybe 10 shifts all game, I’m pretty sure they were pre planned lol considering Morin also had 3 points and didn’t get a star so
