If it goes 7 games then I think Moncton will win it, simply because they'll be more desperate. How do you measure "desperate" ? I don't. I have no intentions or means of quantifying it. I simply suspect that the team whose season is absolutely on the line will want it more than the team whose season is sort of on the line but not really. That's not to say that both teams won't very much want to win. But I think one team will want it more. Of course that could also work the other way where the team whose season is on the line could be more likely to panic, but seeing as how that team just won 2 elimination games on the road against a favourite I'm not sure how likely that is. And I have no idea if it will get to game 7, but if it does that usually means the teams are quite evenly matched and it's often been said (doesn't necessarily make it true) that when teams are even it comes down to who wants it more. Edit - Of course this theory appears to have been proven wrong by Halifax beating the Remparts in 7 games in the first round. I don't think those teams were very evenly matches though and it only went that far because Halifax took them lightly at first. |

Pelletier and McKenna have "star power"? Interesting. They are the 2 best forwards out of the 2 teams IMO. Maybe I'm underrating Asselin, but they both outscored him. That Lavoie guy is pretty good too. Seeing he beat out Pelletier for the Mike Bossy Trophy. |

Seeing he beat out Pelletier for the Mike Bossy Trophy. I can't imagine too many people who have watched either guy on a regular basis seriously has Lavoie ranked over Pelletier at this point. Appeal to authority not withstanding I really doubt Lavoie becomes a better player then Pelletier. |

Seeing he beat out Pelletier for the Mike Bossy Trophy. Lavoie wins that award because he is a foot taller. There is always doubt around smaller players. Lavoie had a poor year this year while Pelletier broke out. Lavoie is also whole season older. I'd trade Pelletier to Halifax for Lavoie but Halifax would have to include two firsts to make the deal fair. |

I find Lavoie is too soft to be an impact NHLer, I see a Pouliot type, a guy that can play in the NHL and keeps getting chances but will never be a top 6 on a contender. Pelletier is a blend of guys like Marchand and Gallagher, plays bigger than his size and still has top flight skills. If he had Lavoie's size he'd go top 5, maybe top 2. |

Pelletier is underranked but I don’t think he’s a top 2 player, even if he was Lavoie’s size. Hughes and Kakko have that on lock down and smaller guys aren’t ranked like they used to be. Cole Caufield is only 5’6 and he’s right on the cusp of Top 15. |

I'll take Pelletier on his one good Ankle over Lavoie any day. Smaller frame, bigger heart. |

He lacks the speed and jump that makes him so dangerous right now. |

I didn't say who was better at the moment. Well yes you did ... you'd take the injured Pelletier over a healthy Lavoie ... that suggests that you think injured Pelletier is better now. |

Steve if you're trying to be funny... you're not, but nice try. If you're actually being serious, give your balls a tug His post was obviously an exaggeration but in essence he's saying he would never want to trade Pelts for Lavoie. Obviously an injured Pelletier would be less effective than a healthy Lavoie. Although he's correct that Pelletier plays with a bigger heart no matter the circumstances |
