There's a link on the page that says "lines". It will download a PDF that lists the rosters each team submitted to the league. yes, I have used that before, but where does it list the line by line combos? the 1st line , 2nd line etc line combos and defensive pairings? Briwhel had the actual lines listed. He simply just matched the numbers from the pdf from the league site

If you look in the PDF the Line combinations and defensive pairings are listed on the right next to the roster. It's listed in a table and if the table is empty, it means the coach hasn't submitted his lineup to the league yet, so you may have to periodically check in throughout the day on game day

You can just reference the roster because it shows which Jersey # each player wears.

Let’s give credit where it’s due.
The Sea Dogs bounced back last night and showed what they’re capable of when they play with consistency, focus, and a stronger defensive mindset. (if you block or save a goal against, it saves us from having to score 2 goals, right?)
They did a great job closing gaps and applying constant pressure on the PEI forwards after losing possession, and it was clear on the ice.
We got a glimpse of an effective forecheck too, though that could still use some work. Also got a taste of some chemistry in the lines. Groulx played an excellent game as well as Yared is starting to get comfortable. But it was a clear team effort.
PEI came out strong in the first 10 minutes, but SJ stayed composed and closed the first period with an impressive final eight minutes.
The last two periods, aside from a late push by PEI, were a clear display of how we need to play to win games.
This win was a positive step, but even if it had been a loss, it would serve as an example of what the team needs to build on: relentless pursuit when out of possession, standing up to the other team’s forwards, and never backing down. To own the game, you’ve got to take control—either you play the game, or you get played.
Gravel had a strong game, like he had something to prove, and he did just that. Robinson is capable of the same. Once both goalies are dialed in and the shots against are cut to a reasonable amount. It makes each game winnable.
It was a great response after the previous two games. Let’s keep building confidence. I’ll back a performance like that, win or lose, any day of the week.
Anyone else see the positives and areas of improvement leading to the home opener?

There's no confidence built. It's a skate to get guys moving and into some game situations. Gravel is an overage goalie. He has absolutely nothing to prove in a pre-season game. After this upcoming weekend the last 4-6 weeks might as well have not even happened in terms of "game action" because absolutely nothing has mattered up until this point minus injuries and no shows.

I beg to differ. The coach is preparing them for the season. They treat every game as a game that matters. No player or coach would ever say just go skate and get in game situations. It's a game they play to win and the build off each game, especially once the team is somewhat finalized. A winning culture and coaching staff takes each game as a must win. especially a bunch of young hockey players.

I can see part of the message being dont sacrifice to much these games dont mean anything to our season. But ur not 100 percent wrong im sure theres lots of positives to take out regardless.

A winning culture and coaching staff takes each game as a must win. especially a bunch of young hockey players. Coaches don't treat pre-season like every game and that it matters. Coaches regularly put 0 weight in pre-season because of the fact its more or less a skate for vets. Players absolutely do NOT play to win and build. Winning cultures have absolutely nothing to do with pre-season attitude. Especially with young players. You're fantasizing this sport to 100% be what its not. You can feel free to actually believe all that but most of us understand that absolutely none of it is true. You're going so far to try and convince people of this that you're starting to almost embarrass yourself with it. This is the QMJHL. Pre-season hockey is absolutely none of what you just claimed it is. Don't misplace your own passion for the game for reality. You 100% are doing that. It's great that you have the passion. But don't pretend too much that these are building block games coaches and players put a lot into. There's a reason you will absolutely never talk about any of the last 4 weeks again after Thursday.

Just talk to Q players from different generations. Ask them how serious their team and coaches considered the pre-season.

But don't pretend too much that these are building block games coaches and players put a lot into. There's a reason you will absolutely never talk about any of the last 4 weeks again after Thursday. I appreciate your input, but I think there's a middle ground here. Pre-season games might not always carry the weight of regular season or playoff games, especially for vets, but for young players trying to make a mark or build chemistry, every shift can count. Teams with a winning culture often have a strong work ethic from top to bottom, and that starts with the mindset instilled from day one—pre-season included. Sure, the outcome of these games won't define the season, but dismissing their importance entirely doesn’t reflect the full picture either. Passion for the game isn’t about fantasizing, it’s about recognizing all the steps in the journey, even if they seem minor in the moment. At the end of the day, it’s about development, building habits, and gaining momentum for what’s ahead. Let’s focus on keeping things constructive and supportive. Everyone here has their own insights and perspectives, and it's great when we can share them without putting others down. A positive environment helps us all enjoy the discussion more and get the most out of it.

Im not disagreeing i think preseason is very much not treated like regular season thats why the guys who lead pre season in points usually dont lead the regualr season. Its alot of rookie on rookie action until the last two games of pre season really anyways.

I did not see the game but I try to take the positive from things. We jumped all over the players and coaches when they lost the last two games. This game it looked from what is being said the guys played a much stronger game. Take that as a step in the right direction and let’s get ready for the weekend.
