JasonMacIsaac said:Shawinigon isn't in the same league as the top teams, Gatineau and Rimouski are the only teams I think will come close.
FSU Seminoles said:I said the Chicoutimi Sags ... the Shawinigan ...
Ummmmmm no it isn't, We lead the season series with Gateneau, both our goaltenders are better then theirs, our offense is better and our defense is better. GA and GF don't lie. We have had a lot of injuries all year too, Bernier seems to miss a game ever week.PEli said:Cataractes, duh... Les Sagueneens are hosers.
CB is a damn good team but Gatineau can wipe the floor with any team in the CHL on any given night. It sucks but it's true.
FSU Seminoles said:the only teams that can eliminate them are the Sags and the Oylmpiques

Edit: Gatineau passed CB in the offense department last night.

RyanM said:A series between the 2 would go 6 or 7 and for anyone to say the other team would wipe the floor with the other is idiotic.
JasonMacIsaac said:Ryan, you can't count Crosby team out ever....sure they have question marks but if they can get Pouliot and Croby going on two different lines they will be tough to beat.
Chicoutimi isn't even a great team, they play in a weak conference, GF and GA aren't good at all, I don't see them being a challenge at all.
PEli said:Ah, jeez. Gatineau could easily smoke CB just like anybody else. Nobody is immune to losing to a solid team. It's the same for Gatineau. They could get whacked by a great team like CB as well. Is that idiotic? I hope not.
PEli said:It is possible. Trust me. Halifax's team last year was arguably better than CB's this year. They had a far better blueline, a group of forwards on par with CB's and the hottest goaltender in the league in Lavallee. Gatineau took them to seven and proved they were the better team.
Never count out the Olympiques.

2002/2003 Mooseheads WERE NOT better than the 2003/2004 Eagles.
Eagles have 2 better goalies than Halifax's Lavallee.
Defense:
They are 8 deep. Halkifax was 6 deep but they had better top end guys. Ramholt vs. Jurcina. Plus Picard and Villy are a year older on CB.
Forwards:
Each team had 7 scorers, the only place HFX wins is checking line.
JasonMacIsaac said:PEli, Halifax's team wasnt better then CB's this year. Being a devils fan you should know best Goaltending is everything in the playoffs and CB had the advantage over any team in the league.
HAHAHAH, He is the reason they didn't go to the memorial cup, last two games he lt in 6 goals?PEli said:Maybe I'm just a homer. I'll be happy to admit that. I'm not on drugs though. Not these days. I like Halifax's 03' blueline more than CB's this year. I guess I should have elaborated. Last year's playoff version of Lavallee is as good as Houle and while he isn't in the same league as Fleury, the results don't lie.
Again, I'm probably just a big ol' homer here. Eh...oh well.
Which is exactly why I included Lavallee in my post. Goaltending is everything. Guillaume Lavallee was absolutely stellar for the Mooseheads in the playoffs last year. I won't forget that.

You seem to be the one whinning, you seem to be upset that everyone eccept yourself thinks Cape Breton's team this year is better then Halifax's last year. I seen both of Halifax's final games of that sereis and Lavallee was the reason they lost. He didn't make any of the big saves when it counted. Halifax bet a pathetic CB team last year, we had nothing on the blueline, no forward depth and a great goaltender in nets. Lavallee stats were going to be great comming out of that series.PEli said:Any idea which team lit him up? The same team I've been talking about this entire thread. It's not like the series was a blowout either. Without the six goals you're talking about, Halifax outscores Gatineau 23-21. Wow.
Any goaltender can be the victim of a superior offense. Look at Halifax vs. CB in the first round. Halifax outscored CB 17-2 in four games. Big deal.
Nobody could stop Talbot, Brunelle and Daoust last year. Nobody.
1. Maxime Talbot 20GP, 14G, 30A, 44Pts
2. Mathieu Brunelle 20GP, 22G, 16A, 38Pts
3. Jean-Michel Daoust 20GP, 12G, 25A, 37Pts
That's a combined 129pts in just twenty games. Nobody could stop these guys. This is the basis of my first post. Gatineau, just like CB if it makes you happy, can wipe the floor with any team in the league on any given night. I said nothing about sweeping a series and nothing about CB being a poor team. Quit whining.
