I didn't see the fights ... but often you'll get a 10 if you celebrate on the way to the box (waving arms to pump up bench and crowd ... pretending to have "the belt" on, etc) ... or take off your helmet (if it isn't already off) and drop it to the ice. Did anything like that happen ? The eastlink guys said he got it for taking the Wildcats helmet off... is this a rule now? You pull the other guys helmet off and its a 10 min? Sometimes it will pop off as you are yanking or grabbing at the guy. Hopefully refs can NOT call it if its seen that way. As for the game, another solid game, thats 4 excellent games in a row for this team and Corbeil in particular. His size helps make up for those times that he's lost the puck or is out of position, but he is very confident right now. Moncton controlled more of the game, which is to be expected, but they certainly werent much better than the moose on this night. Both teams looked similar, hard work but not a whole lot of finesse. Macausland got suspended a game for pulling his opponents helmet off in a fight. I guess the difference is that it can fall off in the scuffle ... but if you grab it and reef on it then you'll get extra. Moncton has been in a slide for awhile now ... not dominating anybody ... working hard but not accomplishing anything ... lots of scoring opportunities but poor finish. Maybe a loss like this will be the "rock bottom" they need to decide to turn it around.

Thanks I was wondering how come on both occasions we got the 10 when they started it, the officiating was kinda brutal last night Mr.Refs must have thought there was one team out there but we still managed the win all in all a good night!!!!

You guys didn't win. The Wildcats beat themselves. Lack of scoring depth maybe? Saying we lack scoring depth would imply that we are a one line team ... which would be generous ... none of our lines are able to score consistently, and we have a knack for making opposing goalies look like the next Martin Brodeur. Starting to look like this year's Cats may not live up to the lofty pre-season expectations ... we aren't a bad team by any stretch, but I think we are missing quite a few pieces to win a championship.

Like I said...Tomas Knotek would a good fit for you guys. a TRUE #1 centre...and ive debated this in multiple threads with PEI and Moncton fans who think their current #1 centre is better.... Hrivik is no better than what Steber was for Halifax and to me he is a good euro, but Moncton could do better thats for sure.

Hrivik is no better than what Steber was for Halifax and to me he is a good euro, but Moncton could do better thats for sure. Hrivik is probably a 40 point guy this year, I could see him being a 50-60 point guy at 19 next year. Knotek would be a definite upgrade, but the way our offense is, I think we would still need another gamebreaker in addition to Knotek up front. Throw in the need for a depth d-man (letting Dimitruk go was not a smart move IMO), and possibly a veteran #1 goalie, and I am becoming less certain by the day that going for it this year is the way to go. I am not suggesting we sell completely for picks/kids ... but if we could trade Savard and maybe Brannon in exchange for futures that could help next year, we could be in a similar position to Saint John this season, assuming neither of Kabanov or Gormley stick in the NHL next year, which I think is probably a decent possibility in both cases - I just don't see either one as being quite ready yet.

Just got back from a weekend in Halifax and I have to say I never would imagined going to the Metro Centre during the 09/10 season and seeing the Moose win on back-to-back nights. The Moose are definitely playing with a lot of confidence right now. Also just wanted to say it was great seeing some old faces (and I mean old ...webber) and meeting some new ones (qmaniac, moosefan1994). Thanks to all for making the weekend a good one!
