This season has been extremely weird in terms of a go-for-it season. This team will probably end up with one of the lowest win totals from any Moose team in a go-for-it year. There is a lot about this team to be critical about. I wanted to take some time to give a shout out to two individuals on the Mooseheads who among the discussions this season don't get enough credit for what they've done for this team:
Mathis Rousseau and Brady Schultz.
It's not like Rousseau is under the radar, but we've gone through many go-for-it seasons where Halifax's goaltending is "just there", and not a strength. 2008 was just a disaster, Fucale and Gravel had their flashes but were not consistent. Rousseau has been Rousseau the entire season. I can't remember when a Mooseheads goalie has been near the top of the league in save %, let alone at the top. Rousseau in my opinion is this teams' MVP with Dumais missing half the season. If Rousseau wasn't here I don't know where this team would be.
Brady Schultz has turned into a heck of a defenseman. His defense has greatly improved and he works hard every single shift. He has gotten far more confident skating with the puck, and his passing/vision is severely underrated. He throws a ton of hits for a smaller player. In my mind he's one of the funner players to watch on the team. If I collected jerseys, I'd have a replica Schultz jersey.
There's going to be some stress over the next few weeks. I thought I'd point out two players that have made it easy to be entertained at the rink.
