Time and the progression of the season so far is showing that the Mooseheads made the wrong move by keeping Joel Grondin , he would be better served by returning back to midget, or trying Jr A . . First, he cannot properly develop , when the majority of the time , he is sitting on a bench , where Corbeil will get the majority of the icetime . Secondly, he was and is not ready yet to be effective at this level . Even reading other posts on here, with comments like being selective into which games to insert him, where the team still might have a chance to win . If you cannot start either goalie no matter who the opposition is, chances are, your goalie should not be there . And no matter how weak or percieved weakness of a hockey club is, the reality of a .827 sv percentage is not good enough to remain at the level , let alone be effective, regardless of a players age . And lastly, this leaves no one to push Matt Corbeil , which gives him the starter position by default, and for goaltending smart people , that is the wrong situation to have, because internal competition is a good thing for goalies, and will also help with Corbeils development .

Good points all around.

Pretty boring game all together. Halifax came out strong in the third, setting the momentum with a goals 8 seconds. They looked like the better team in the third, and the play was primarily in the Rocket's zone. I was impressed with how even down 5-1 the moose were playing like it was a tie game late. Aggresive forecheck, really moving the puck along the boards. Impressed that they battled back and made a game of it, almost made it 7-6 a few times and like you said, the ice was tilted to the rocket end in the third, Moose were buzzing and all over the ice. Those games will happen, dont blame Grondin too much, most of those goals were tough to save.

The PEI forwards had the jump on our Dee and a lot of their early goals where transistion goals. Grondin can not be blamed for all of them, when you let in 7 I am sure there were a couple he would like back but for the most part they were good goals. I think Anthony seems to be hitting his stride as I thought he played well both Thursday and Friday. I also thought Desjardins had a good game and was buzzing all night. Those 2 kids are hopefully future offensive leaders of the Moose so good to see them step it up.

One thing I can't understand is how in the hell did Mahbod only get 2 minutes in that sequence against Clarke??? He grabbed him in a headlock and pulled him to the ice, when the ref's arm went up. He then sort of let Clarke go, got up and proceeded to give him a couple more shots to the head... he then moved away (whistle) and circled back to Clarke still on his knees and gave him yet another little shove to the face. Clarke did nothing in retaliation...
How that wasnt a double minor I dont know. It was like 3 roughing penalties on that sequence where Clarke didnt retaliate.... frustrating.

Clarke initiated it though. I didn't see 3 roughing penalties, I saw two. One, where Mahbod got Clarke in the headlock (which wasn't called) and the one where he did get the call. Right before Clarke was put in a headlock though, he had Mahbod.
The ref could have called 4 on Mahbod, but he probably would have called 2 on Clarke as well. Worked out the same. Maybe you could make an argument for a 10 minute misconduct for Mahbod for the love tap afterwards, but that's pretty weak, considering Clarke's rep. for being a pain in the ass. I'm sure Mahbod got a warning though.

When Mahbod grabbed him in the headlock and dragged him down, the arm went up right away... then he proceeded to give him a couple more little shots... which is sometimes let go and called as part of the original call, fine. But then to skate back at Clarke and give him another shove, definately should have been called for another2 (roughing, unsportsmanlike, whatever). That whole sequence should have been 4 IMO, especially where he skated back at Clarke. If it was all in the same little scrum Id understand more.
