I really think this team can match up with anyone in the league and they're getting hot at the right time. That was a great game, special teams were a big factor tonight.
On to the next one, hopefully another big crowd tomorrow night!

Atmosphere was (at times) electric in C200 tonight. First playoff win since 2019 and not a minute too soon.
Our entire lineup showed up tonight, and the top 6 carried the offense. I'm glad the people who showed up tonight got to see the team as advertised.

That was a great game. Rimouski came out with a lot of jump but CB weathered that well and took over the game from there. Everybody played their role tonight in front of a packed rink. Nice to see such a big game from Burbidge. I know people had concerns with him before but games like tonight easily make up for that.
A win tomorrow would be huge, considering this series follows the 2-3-2 format.

Impressed with the way the marketing team has been getting the community excited for the playoffs, for those keeping track the Eagles had the 2nd best game one attendance, Halifax was 1st but it was a clear 1/2 and then the rest of the teams we're around the 2.5k-3.2k mark.

Love the praise here from Squires - last night was on a different level for atmosphere! Would not be fun to be Rimouski
Let’s keep it up tonight eagles!

Might not happen, but 8000 in a 2 day span would be incredible for both the organization and the fanbase. The Franchise is turning a corner in regards to marketing, fan engagement, in game experience and most importantly on ice experience, and the fans are buying in.

I actually don’t like this move by them - I would have went back to Masse and gave him the opportunity to redeem himself and then if it doesn’t work you turn the 16 year old back home - but now what happens if he fumbles ? You going to go back to Masse after you just tossed him aside ?
Interesting move

Eagles are running the same lines for warm-up we'll see if Desjardins is last scratch again.
Refs for tonight for those interested Stephen Starzomski and Tyler Puddifant, linesmen Dave Ivey and Sam Currie.

Interesting move I thought Lacelle did well for them after getting settled in and found Rimouski had a bit of a better focus defensively as they knew it was a 16yo in net so maybe that's the thinking from their coach? but you're right if Lacelle falters it going to be interesting to see how Massé responds.

Might reach a 4,000 size crowd again tonight.
