Speaking of coasting, that's what the Cats did in the third. They had a comfortable 3 goal lead against a team that was playing even worse then they were.
I heard that during the 2nd intermission, the Sea Dogs were being reamed by their coach. A lot of yelling and screaming could be heard outside of the dressing room. So we had a much different team playing against us in the third.

Well,I must say that was probably the best home game i've seen this year....quite a bit of actions...some good flow,good hits etc....
Moncton's defense=brutal.Lavigne had no chance on any of those goals....nice giveaway by Wilson on the first goal,I forget who failed to pick up their man on the 2nd but it may have been Boyle,3rd goal was Gomes's fault as he stood there watching the guy pop in the tying goal.
I honestly think that Gomes,Boyle and Wilson(maybe Pianosi too)aren't good enough to play in the Q......and where was Kelan Herr???I thought if there was a game he should dress it would be vs S-J...he could've easily replaced Boyle or Wilson.It's funny because it seemed like if the Cats would've gave in and played S-J style late in the 2nd they have won the game....at that point S-J seemed very frustrated and didn't want to play hockey and I think if Mctn would've accepted S-J would've gave up the game....instead they came back strong to tie.
Teams that play physical against the Cats seem to do well.....SJ was clearly the tougher team out there and it showed on the scoreboard in the end.Morehouse is still the same pansy he was before,turning down Stich and Gallant numerous times.Also Marquardt was floating around as always,I bet Flynn can't wait till december to get rid of him....maybe he can even sucker in a team to give him some good assets for him.
Lavigne played a solid game and made several nice saves that allowed Mctn to build that 3-0 lead....I think this kid was a good find.

I still can't believe the fans actually booed when the ref called the dive on Morehouse. I felt he was being generous when he actually called the roughing penalty..that was a terrible acting job by Morehouse and obviously the ref saw right through. It was almost embarrassing to watch.

About Bacca: His English is improving every day.....he understands what is being said.....it takes him a little longer than you or I to answer back......... It is nt that he is not smart....it is because he is a little on the shy side, and does not want to say the wrng thing and be made fun of About Bacca and Bezak nt talking.......not true....they go to schl together and spend every off day together...........they are great friends I'm glad to hear that, I was a bit scared for Baca when I heard that. I know if I was in a strange country where I don't understand/speak the language and am not really friends with the only person that I can speak to, I would want to go home pretty quick. I am really happy my info was wrong on that one. My sources doesn't spend much time with the team (a few hours a week), so I only hear about what's happening when he/she is there. There was apparently one case of Baca being examined by medical and the team had to 'gesture' to him what the doctor was asking him to do and Bezak nowhere to be seen to translate. |

I believe the fans booed because Gallant came off the bench and the Seadogs already had 5 players on the ice! Ref missed the call...."Too many men on the ice" |

Who were the classy fans throwing bottles at the Sea dogs as they left the ice? Thats 2 games in a row this HAS to stop!!!! Totally classless!!! I noticed the bottle throwing last night as well. There is no excuse for throwing stuff on the ice. Security should be banning the thrower as they announce in the pre-game announcements. |

The people throwing the stuff were in my section - I can assure you that they are not regular fans ... not sure where they crawled out of, they were dressed like the street kids you see at the corner of Main and Wheeler (blue hair, mohawk, nose ring, studded leather jackets ... would have fit in more at an 80's rock concert than a hockey game), they consumed a fair bit of alcohol in the course of the evening ... oddly enough, they were quite quiet until the game ended and they started throwing things. |

Ref missed the call...."Too many men on the ice" yes from what i saw he left the bench to go after morehouse....and thomander missed that part....by the time he realized what was going on the 6th seadog was heading toward the bench....moncton will probably be sending the league the tape.... |

Why would Moncton send the leauge a tape of a missed too many men penalty. What's going to happen, the next time the Dogs play the Cats, the Dogs start the game with a 2 minute bench minor. LOL

LOL Not that I think he'll get suspended, but its not just any too many men on the ice..Gallant came off the bench and went after Morehouse. |

Thomander was a waste of time for the whole game. I don't think either coach was happy with him. |

This was the first game I saw in Moncton since Sid Crosby was in the league, so I dunno a lot about the building, other than it's older than I am... Is the ice slow on purpose? Or maybe they just don't freeze the pucks all the way. I would think one or the other, if not both. It cuts down the effectiveness of the cross-ice pass, and I'm sure visiting players have a harder time adjusting to it than the home team. When you shoot a routine dump-in from outside the blueline and the puck is bouncing almost as high as the boards as it passes behind the net, you know something's up. Seems like the half-assed "cleaning" before the shootout actually made it worse in front of Lavigne, not better. IMO the snow on the ice slowed the movement a lot and made the poke-check really effective. Has anyone alerted the SPCA about that weird noise every time the "Cats score? Sounds like animal torture to me. All in all, not a bad game experience though...decent, cheap food...reasonable lineups for the bathrooms or concessions...I actually like the tribute to former "Cats in the NHL in the back corner of the rink...it's good to see where Afenasankov developped into the softest player in the NHL...P Morehouse is excellent comedy relief too...scared little turtle against Stich, but as soon as they were both safely enclosed in the penalty box, he started shouting and gesturing madly. Funny how he seemed to find his man-parts as soon as the door to the penalty box was closed, and he knew he was safe. Oh, and did anyone else see Howes skate overly close to the Moncton bench after he scored in the shootout? nice to see some classy people down in saint john.  in any case, i wouldn't get too excited. come playoff time there won't be any shootouts |
