Should be a good competitive game as long as we can play the full 60 minutes. Looking forward to seeing Voracek tonight.

Thinking that this one should be full of atmosphere, seeing that these two teams are so close in the standings there should not be any lack of intensity unlike that 20 min. miracle last night. Hoping that the added pressure of going against a strong Moose club will add to the performance of our 2 twenty year old forwards, they have to step up their game in this one or it might be one-sided.....6-4 Dogs with the empty netter going to Mr. Yann Sauve', speaking of defence they are going to have their hands full, but with a strong team effort and good back checking it is a winable game for our side........Mayer in the net against "POP" should be a good battle, or will it be Yetman, Fullerton? I think it will be the Mayer "POP" matchup, can't wait for this one....only negative I can think of is it was my Son's turn to pick the seats and we're way the hell up in row 22 in the upper bowl, his favorite....looks like I'll be standing along the rail again tonight......Go Dogs Go!!

Not thats its a built-in excuse, but I will use it anyway but we are hurting on defence right now... Pender, Lund (who had been emerging as one of our better defensemen) and now our #2 guy Monast will all be missing the game. We will be going with 5 defensemen as well as 16 year old Greer, probably playing the odd shift in relief. If you guys come at us hard, it could get ugly. For the moose to win the game, we will need to win it with offense, we need to put 4-6 goals up IMO... I dont see this being a low scoring game. Then again, when I expect a high scoring game, its usually a snoozer lol

We actually will probably be going with 5 d as well, as Amyot has been hurt. I could also see a 4-3 or 5-4 type game.

[reddogbluedog]

We certainly owe these guys one. They beat us all over the ice down there and if not for Fullerton having a great game it would have been much worse. They probably doubled us in just about every statistic. I hope they come in a little confident because we are not as bad as the stats showed from our last game with them. We could see overtime yet again.

Pender wasn't supposed to be even in this game and has 2 goals so far..

[Maddog]

They had it and let it slip away. Can't let up against Halifax. Hopefully they can pick up a win next game before they head out on the road.

They fell into Halifax's game plan lol

Get outscored for 30 mins...pull the goalie, lull the other team to sleep and then start trying lol

Typical Moosehead win this year...

[elementz]

Tough loss but we played competitive against the mighty Moose. Sweet shot by Knotek, never thought he would have roofed it being so close in. Each team blew 2 goal leads so I will take the point. Great game to watch, back and forth the whole way. Moose really picked it up in the 3rd.

[mrlittlewolf]

Nice to see we can compete with the mighty moose> coming off a come from behind win last night we almost did it again

[elementz]

Even though we lost, I must say I am very impressed that we have points in 15 out of the 20 games we played. Awesome to see Howes and Picard combine for 6 points, hopefully this was their breakout game. Also nice to see Dido extended his point scoring streak to 10.

[Hockey4Life]

should have been no goal sea dogs should have won..

[Maddog]

Wonder what's going on with Liske?

[chillywack]

Here's the game plan for the next overtime ... No Sparling, and no McNeil.

Stoddard races to the bench and out hops Sparling. First thing he does ? Watches his man just skate right around him. Sparling wasn't even moving!

Then McNeil didn't even bother covering the Halifax player, he was so far below the goal line it was unbelievable!

Rats. oh well. Should have had 2 points, but 1 point is better than no points.
