Series Thread ... I'll add more later. Feel free to add stats (PP, PK, etc.).
We start Friday/Saturday in Halifax and back to Moncton Tuesday/Wednesday. Then its Friday (Halifax), Sunday (Moncton) and Tuesday (Halifax).
I think this series goes at least 6 games.
If we are to win a championship, I am pretty sure we'll have to go through four 100+ pt teams. One down, three to go.
Anttalainen will miss game 1 as he serves the final game of his suspension. I doubt we see Spence in this series but it would be a nice surprise.

Hopefully, Eastlink and Rogers can work together to pick up each other’s feeds.

I think this series can easily go 7. I'll say Halifax in 7, but it could go either way. Halifax missing Groulx will hurt. WC are likely without Spence(to start) and AA for 1 game. Cats have a definite edge in nets if Leclerc can keep it up, I'm concerned he may wear down after a 7 game series and big workload in Jan-March. Halifax is deeper up front and on D, cats have more star power(Pelletier and McKenna) up front. Can Torchetti outcoach Veilleux like he did Bernard?

I'm going to say Halifax in 7. I know Leclerc has had to go through a grueling 7 game series but so has Gravel. Halifax has had our number all year, but I've seen so many times a team go undefeated in regular season against a specific opponent then lose to them. Based on regular season this should be a sweep for Halifax. Cats are under a new coach and have faced a ton of adversity already and succeeded, so that's why I'm predicting a game 7. All of the pressure is on Halifax and I think they will be outcoached and outworked in this series...not to mention the goaltending advantage. I think it's anyone's series, but my gut tells me to pick Halifax. Moncton are developing a reputation for being giant killers....let's hope that trend propels us into the 3rd round.

Hopefully, Eastlink and Rogers can work together to pick up each other’s feeds. Rogers and Eastlink will share broadcast feeds for Round 2 so all games in the series will be on Rogers and Eastlink (as per Roger's facebook page). |

Interesting. Are you implying they don’t? You argued with me regarding Lavoie on this topic just last week. McKenna and Pelletier have proven more at this level than Lavoie. |

If it goes 7 games then I think Moncton will win it, simply because they'll be more desperate.

It will be an intense series in my view, if everything is firing on all cylinders I believe the Wildcats will take this round. Outside of the 2010 President Cup win, can’t remember since that time when Wildcats got to the third round.

Interesting. They are the 2 best forwards out of the 2 teams IMO. Maybe I'm underrating Asselin, but they both outscored him. |
