Give credit to Bathurst for the win. Mooseheads top line 0 points and on the ice for both goals against. Outshot 18-7 from 3rd period on. What happened to that switch they were going to flip once the playoffs started.

Well, good thing is that this is a best of 7 series and not just one game. Bad news is that we're going to loose every game if we keep being outplayed by the Titan. I just struggle to understand what it is. Our individual player skill is much higher than the Titan - yet we loose. I just don't understand that. I wonder if Midgley fiddling with the lines every 5 shifts has to do with it? Just let the guys play... Let's refresh and get back tomorrow - maybe with Dumais?

Anyone else feel like the first line looked absolutely exhausted? Seemed like they were getting an absurd amount of ice time

Bathurst is a better coached team. I said to myself this first game will show how the Mooseheads will be playing in this series. Not good.

Dumais probably isn’t playing unless Columbus phones Cam tmrw from what I was told.

You know what I keep forgetting? We’re getting Dumais back on Saturday (at least that’s the most we know). Even if he plays offensively at 40% of his capacity, he can outwork all of the titan. He can really change (at least) this series. Tho, his impact may become less and less with more and more rounds. Don’t think he is playing unless cam and Columbus can come to an agreement before game time

The Mooseheads were hutch over after every whistle their over team fitness was not as good Bathurst who looked ready to go every shift .Mackinnon and Shultz had tough games making bad decisions defensively all night . Rousseau kept Halifax in it all night . Furlong was sorely missed and Bathurst did a good job of exposing are defence making them work and keeping the puck in are end down low the majority of the night thus the reason for are players bending over every shift . On another note Bobby Orr is playing very well and it must be redemption for him after being sent out of Halifax a few years back .

Oof. If they keep playing like that we're done in 4. If that happens I'm all for a scorched earth rebuild, complete coaching staff overhaul.

If we lose in 4, is this year just comparable to or worse than the year we still had all that talent with Lavoie, Groulx, MacIsaac etc and J.J Daigneault cost us a run?

Eh, the 19-20 edition of the Mooseheads actually sucked beyond the guys back from the previous years. The Mooseheads hadn't been able to draft in the lower rounds and had a lineup filled with Jr. A at best caliber guys.

What great first game with the perfect finish. You can see Bathurst wants it way more than Halifax
