I honestly guessed that this series would be a sweep for BLB, but after seeing what's happened the first two games I don't see any reason why the Cats can't make this a series. I may be a Halifax fan but I'm hoping for Moncton!

I may be a Halifax fan but I'm hoping for Moncton! I picked this series to go 7 games. Moncton just got back 2 of their top forwards and BLB have been playing like crap lately. If Moncton won I'm not even sure I'd call it an upset.

If Moncton won I'm not even sure I'd call it an upset. Reading through the playoff prediction thread in the contest section, in three pages of predictions, myself and one other poster predicted Moncton to win (both in 6 games) ... so if the Cats pull it off, I don't think anyone can argue it is not an upset. But I agree with your reasoning on why Moncton could win - we are finally healthy, have two dangerous offensive lines, a goalie who is capable of stealing a game or two, and on the flip side, BLB have slid back to the pack in the second half.

I picked BLB to win it in 7 . The only reason I picked them was because they had home ice advantage.......if Moncton had home ice I probably would have picked them. Watching the 3rd last night though showed that BLB can pick it up if needed....Moncton was just hanging on. You need Dubeau to be his best the rest of the way for sure.

Heard that Chris Caissy has been suspended two games for a hit in game two...
Unfortunate for us considering we'll only have one twenty year old in the lineup. Plus Chris has been playing some good hockey. Three point night in our 6-5 win.
Also hear Walcott may be suspended as well.

The thing working against him on this hit is it is the 3rd time in 4 games that a hit he delivered required the trainer to come on the ice .... whether a legal hit or not.

I see what your saying but if the hits are legal , it shouldn't make a difference.

I see what your saying but if the hits are legal , it shouldn't make a difference. Sure ... but you can't forget that happened. Its easier to side on suspension with that in his background. He was penalized for 2 of the hits ... so they weren't legal.
