I said game 1 was perfect.
Game 2 was game 1 minus the penalties.
Lets give the refs their just due here too. Hard to walk away and say they were not 2 of the better officiated games here in a long time. Anyone holding on to the league bias towards Quebec teams or against Maritime teams had to admit that with any slant at all that games goes to OT but that no goal call was absolutely the right call.
Expect more tight action in Chicoutimi. Ruccia is absolutely in their heads.
How impressive is that Huang kid on their blueline? Doesnt even turn 17 until June.

How does this run compare to the 1993 Oliers Calder Cup run? This is the definition of getting too far ahead of yourself. This does not compare to that. This is its own stand alone thing. And as good as this is it is still 10 more wins from being on that level.

Pretty cool to see the boys flying into Quebec on a chartered jet.

Just as a heads-up to those with Eastlink TV, Eastlink is showing the whole series between the Eagles and Saguenéens.

a while back someone mentioned Ruccia wouldn't be worth much at the draft...
While the goalie market might not be that hot, contenders HAVE to look at him if the Eagles run with Milota next year.

I would think that is all on hold ......maybe permanently . I don't remember ever a 20 year Old situation going into the Off Season for the Eagles , like the one they are gonna be facing this Off Season . You can make a strong case for 5 and 2 more that should be on someone's Roster for Next Season .......but that is an issue for June not now .

It may be for June, but the decision is playing out in front of our eyes. Ruccia will be an Eagle next season. This guy has given everything he has to this organization, he deserves a spot on roster that is going to compete for a title.

If there's similar guys out there but a year younger. Gonna be a tough off-season for sure. But could be a good problem to have as well to fetch more assets.

Last night was another solid game and regardless of amount of goals the whole place was rocking. That last minute was loud. What a game with the team buying in and Ruccua standing on his head and a beauty of a goal by Squires.
Hopefully the CB player is good after getting boarded. From where I was sitting I could not tell if that was Fullerton or Ricard, but he looked in a lot of pain. As did the Sags player on the play around the bench door.

For all the Rough Nights in the Rink .....makes these nights all the more special . Rare post from me but I've been following the Eagles from afar since attending a game against Halifax at Christmas 2009 while on holiday from Scotland. Deer was the main poster here then and kept me right as a hockey novice! Since then I've kept an eye on results and attended another game in Sydney against Bathurst in 2012, and unfortunately also saw the Eagles get hammered by the Mooseheads in Halifax a couple of years ago. Anyway, from a distance at least it feels like for a lot of those 15 years that the Eagles have been mismanaged and probably hard to love for the most part. I know from my own experience as a football fan that it isn't easy to keep going along in those circumstances and I'm so happy for the diehards that you've had a much better season and now enjoying a good crack at the play-offs. It's well deserved and hopefully it can encourage new fans as well as reinvigorating some older ones. And hopefully there is still lots to come from this team. I'll be looking on with fingers crossed for you.
