If people do not come out for this game they will not come out for anything. Who would have thought that we would be in first place in December? How can this team not go for it because how much better of a start do you need? Not that we need them but are any of the injured players coming back or Gallant?

[Dogs 08-09]

The most likely scenario is Gallant and Anthony being back for Friday while Hooper and Sparling remain out until after the break.

Hopefully, this will be my first live game of the year.

Rumors have reported that Hooper should be back for this weekend.

lol. 2-4 without them in the last 4 games. That should get us into the playoffs .

From the Telegraph-Journal on Monday morning....

As for the injury situation, Beaulieu said there's a 90 per cent chance Picard will be ready for Friday's game with Halifax while Gallant and Anthony should be ready to go. Sparling's shoulder injury will keep him out until at least after the break.

The Mooseheads will be short staffed as well with two at worlds and some sick and injured players the Moose will have to call up a few rookies to play for them this week-end...But will have a workers team effort and win 4-2 on Friday night!!!!!

They might have Bodnarchuk if he gets cut in time they may wait til Friday to do all the cuts though.

[reddogbluedog]

You are absolutely right joey. If we go 2 & 4 in 4 games not only are we doing the impossible but we are doing something no other team in anysport in the world has ever done. Just a math tip 4 + 2 = 6.

In any case 2 and 2 in our last 4 games in which we got robbed by a hot goalie and then split with the number two team in our division is not what I would call all that bad. A win on Friday could put us in first. Is that not going to get us in the playoffs either?

I can't see him playing on Friday.

With the 3 hour time difference, day long plane ride, he would be one tired moose.

Plus they've called up a player from Junior A and Midget AAA to fill Bodnarchuk and Voracek's slots.

Sorry that's what I was saying just didn't say it well. Thye might have him in time unless they wait til Friday to do their cuts.

Bodnarchuk is cut so I guess he'll be there
