It think at this point the series has been so easy last night was a reality check for Halifax. The Moncton fans, coaches and players are figuring out The Mooseheads and their trigger points in hopes to change the outcome of these games. Moncton has changed their style of play(which is a smart hockey sense move), they had less unfortunate mistakes meaning lucky moosehead goals, and like mentioned are trying to hit the proper Moose buttons. Halifax needs to relax and try to get the upper hand on this series again. This Moncton team that is not really looking like a team that finished 2nd overall. They are in a dog fight with a rebuilding team who has trade away their Star Goalie, their best d-men, and rolls with 2 20 year olds. We can not give Moncton that much respect for a 2nd overall team to be having this much trouble with a rebuilding team is kinda funny. To add they can not organize their own rink for games. Just move to Fredericton when your main game plan to beat Halifax is to go on about diving thats sad.

He is a known...and frequently penalized diver...deal with it. He did it on national TV... Wow, he did it on National TV, that is something. How many times have you seen a player in the NHL do it on National TV ?

How many times have you seen a player in the NHL do it on National TV ? Oh I see ... you agree that he does it and are justifying it. I'm not pissed at Ehlers ... I'm pissed that the Refs fall for it.

Jacques strap must have let the smell get to him. apparently he must not have played hockey,because it is clear that he does not understand it .he might as well blame Halifax for Moncton having to move their game. English please.

They released the schedule for the series and didn't say a word about Friday's game being a problem. Did they expect a sweep maybe? The Mooseheads knew up front the Metro Centre wasn't available for their first round series. Oh....and I guess Ehlers dives. Just wanted to keep the them going in this thread.

You have to be freaking kiddding me guys, the penalty shot was not deserved it was a very weak call and I'm not the only one saying that. Talliefer didn't cost us, that should have been 4 on 4 their guy elbowed Fortier in the face was not fan of that. I agree the checking from behind has to stop, so I'm glad their calling it didn't like the call on Meier at first, was ok with it after seeing the replay. The boys, were horrible in the first could not get the puck out of our end, then Dom must have done some talking too between periods because they started having more jump and push in the second was lots of back and forth. The third, they tied it as I predicted they would, then the dirty hit on Fotier which drew the instigator(which IMO should have been 4 on 4 for the instigator which by the way I freaking hate that penalty but their guy did elbow Fortier in the face, and guess what I don't have rose colored glasses it happened right in front of me.) Tomorrow night is a pivotal game for us to win, it would be huge to go to Fredericton with the 3-1 lead; we just have to be better and we have to get them out of the crease so Brass can do his thing. No elbowing on that hit. Fully deserved the instigator. You realise ppl get to see the replays. It was an obvious penalty shot, Barbashev was a full stride ahead and got hooked. Your commentator said it immediately when it happened. You'd think after watching all that hockey you would know what the penalties are for. Maybe you were dreaming that game. Somebody please get Catnut a replay of the hook on 22 - Moose's stick is up near his arm, now please watch 22's feet ... if that ain't a dive I don't know what is! The Cats won a game by 1 goal, not by 2 or 3 goals like Halifax did in Moncton, they were desperate and played better hockey. Halifax is a playoff team with a playoff coach. Halifax owned periods 2 and 3 and deserved the win - IMO.

That is a pretty sad statement for the Moncton fans that are continously talking about it. Maybe it is you that has some sort of fear about "the dive".

No Jacques - their fear is that the "diver" is the points leader in the playoffs, their fear is that he is the BEST player in the Q by far. The END. Let their fans continue to call the boys (yes they are just boys still) dirtbags, let their coach call a kid a diver - yes a coach, an adult, berating a kid, BRAVO.

The Wildcats signed an agreement in 2013 with the City that was supposed to eliminate these annual problems. So they set up the schedule for this round. What they didn't know was that the City also signed an agreement last fall with the car show organisers that guaranteed them the Coliseum ice surface. It's like buying a season ticket. First game of the season, you get ready to go to the game show up and there's someone in your seat and he has had a season ticket at that seat for years. It's a sold out game and not an available seat in the house. Someone is going to have to give his seat up to watch the game on TV. It's not your fault or the other guy's. It's the one who sold you both the same seat.

So tell me how many penalties has Ehlers drawn with dives in this serious?

The way Moncton fans are whining, its like we have been scoring on 5 on 3 PPs late in the game for the win because Ehlers is flopping around on the ice. Has he drawn any penalty in this series that wasn't a legit penalty? I can tell you they could have called tons more than they have, and I watched 2 of 3 games and haven't seen any call involving him that wouldn't have been called on anyone else. This seems to be their big issue to hang their hat on for their teams performance against the #12 seed.

My take...
PS to Barbeshev. I didn't notice a blatant dive. Without a replay I had no problem with the PS, so that's how the refs saw it.
On Meier hit. What a joke. Had him lined up shoulder to shoulder, and he turns into the boards 0.1 seconds before Meier is ready to deliver the hit. Literally no chance to change course or stop. This is the shit that refs need t o stop falling for. I think this was more of an even up call because the Cats had received the bulk of the penalties to this point.
On Rumble chirping at Ehlers. Stay classy man.
On the Taifailler incident. Doubt the kid is dressed for the next game. He didn't see another shift after that, and he cost Halifax the game. The hit was fine (it was a charge, as he left his feet, but certainly not worthy of a fight). Really really stupid to instigate a fight there. There's a time and place for defending a team mate, and that wasn't it.
On Garland. Twice he laid on the ice like he was unconscious. The first incident I didn't see, but someone mentioned it was a tap from LeBlanc. That shit happens all the time. You don't lay on the ice like you're shot unless..... no way. Could he be EMBELLISHING??? No, I'm sure the kid is above Ehlers tactics. Oh, but then he did it again. Double standard from Moncton fans I guess. Ehlers is an olympic diver, Garland is a victim of viscous cheapshots. I watched Garland quite a bit and I can't figure out how he had so many points. He barely moves. I've never seen a player just stand there for so long during play - I had 6 mississippi's before he moved a skate during one play. His gear must smell like roses after the game since no sweat would ever develop.
