Just watched the replay of the slash, Hoyle lays down a two hander first on Murphy, and it is Cianfrone that two hands Murphy behind the net, and gets absolutely nothing.
I still cannot understand how X came away with only one penalty out of that sequence. Mind boggling.
Things have to get better for Moncton from here on out. They are losing Plante but gaining at least two big recruits who red shirted this season including a much needed number one goaltender.
This will be a big offseason for them. Judes Vallée was hired because the alumni were upset with the lack of quality recruits.
I think it was that DAL tried to slow the game down, while St Fx loves to go toe to toe with UNB. They are one of the teams that are able to match speed and skill with UNB. I found Saturday's game typical of having a huge game the night before, and following it up with a meaningless game, not quite the same effort.I was quite impressed with Dal’s defense tonight. Heck, I thought they looked better than X the night before. But I also thought UNB played better last night than they did tonight so that might be the biggest reason it seemed that way.

I've said it before, DAL is a big team (or I find that they have good size), which should set up nicely for playoffs, that and some good goaltending, you just never know.
Although no call was made on the play (still shaking my head on how it was missed), there is a process for it to be reviewed. UNB would have to pay a fee to submit video of the slash and then I believe it goes to Pierre Arsenault for review. When Clapperton was hit and knocked out, the call on the play was boarding which didn't automatically bring any suspension. So Gardner had to pay the fee to submit video evidence that the hit deserved more than the 5 min major.Is there any chance of a suspension from the Cianfrone incident or does the officials' mysterious lack of a call give him a free ride?
I agree with you, which Boes shows up? Which UPEI team shows up, one thing is for sure, I wouldn't be comfortable placing a larger wager on either series. Should be some very entertaining hockey!SMU vs UPEI- what Panther team will we see?? The one that beat UNB 3-2, X 5-0 or the kittens who were blown out 9-1 vs SMU??
Clearly a better home team, but they will need to come up with a win in the Forum to move on. I can see the Island physically targeting Garlent and Repaci.
SMU is a clear favourite, I just can't see an upset here. SMU in 3
DAL vs Acadia-The Axe has turned it around just in time for playoffs, but they are playing a team that has some new confidence, especially with the recent lopsided win over ST FX in Antigonish.
Again, which Dal team shows up?? This one should go 3 and an upset is possible.
Acadia in 3.

Although I agree with you, I suspect that Gardner will not get it in back to back years.Have to agree that there was a great rookie group this year, however with UNB's huge turnover I think Gardiner MacDougall deserves the nod as Coach of the Year!
