I say it'll be another 1 goal game, I think will win again, I'd say 4-3..
Moncton has their 3 guys back from NHL camps & Halifax doesn't, that's the difference!

[t-dude]

Here's my prediction from the other thread...
Prediction: Halifax wins 3-1 @ home, Moncton wins on Sunday 4-3 in OT again.

Was way off on tonight's score, glad to be wrong too I'm going to leave the Sunday prediction as is though... 4-3 Moncton in OT.

[Dman]

4-2 Moncton.

[CatsFan]

5-3 Moncton.

Lavigne in nets?

[2wild]

Moose lose..........it would be a plus for the Cats!
Beating the 3rd best team in the CHL.....What?ranked 3rd without their top players in the line up!

[mik]

was at the game last night . Officiating was terrible ,linesmen & refs. 2 icing calls from mid way of the blue & Red line offencive zone were called. the coach and players couldn't believe it,at least not in this league.

[mik]

Hats off to Brennon for defending the hit from behind on Morehouse! NO CALL???

This team has a lot of heart this year. Great to see them standing up for one another. As long as they do that, the wins will come.

[hockey1981]

very sloppy opening by cats, is it just me or does riopel let a weak goal or 2 every game, hopefully he'll get some more confidence in him and less weak goals.
I thought lavigne played well eventhuogh he looked shaky as well, 26 saves outta 27 shots is always good. Very nice hard fought pt for cats after beeing down by 3 goals on 2 occasion, so far this team has no quit, and stick out for each other already more this yr then all of all last yr combined. Hopefully more good things are too come...
They still need a PP quarterback, the look lost out there....
all around good effort after shaky beginning

That was a game with everything. What a year this is going to be. Wildcats came back great Halifax played well to. The most impressive thing was how good of a jaw Bondrachuk has. Labelle rang his bell 10 times. I was 20 feet away and he hit him as square as I ever seen in hockey many times.

[bauer]

The PP looked good lots of miss opportunities.

I think it was MacLellan who fought Bodnarchuk.

As for the PP, when they finally got the puck in the offensive zone, they looked like they knew what they were doing. The ugly part was getting there...hopefully as the d-men gain experience, they will play with a bit more confidence in order to set things up.

3 out of 4 points on the weekend. I never would have expected that, even with Halifax missing a few star players.

Yes it was MacLellan
