It all begins tonight:
STFX @ UNB
UPEI @ Dalhousie
STU @ Acadia
SMU @ Mocton
STFX @ UNB
UPEI @ Dalhousie
STU @ Acadia
SMU @ Mocton
UNB 5 SMU 3- VReds rallied from an early 2-0 deficit to defeat the Huskies. Chris Culligan with the hat trick in the win. Huskies backup Curtis Black held his own in nets with 32 saves in the loss. Lavigne with 17 saves for the win.
SMU has yet to win in both the pre-season and regular season. The coaching situation may have been a distraction so far. I don't see them slumping very much longer though, especially once they get Peters back in nets.
VReds may have their own injury problems. Carroll may be out for their first half and Nesbitt left the game tonight. Injuries are a real potential hazard in the AUS this season due to an unprecedented cap limit.
STU 4 Dal 3- I don't think it is realistic to expect the Tommies to make the playoffs but I do think it is realistic for them to finish in seventh ahead of the Tigers.
Tommies an impressive 3 for 6 on the PP. Both teams play again next Saturday.
Moncton 4 STFX 3 - Les Aigles off to a strong start this season. The Saulnier twins have already made their presence felt. X probably deserved a better fate this weekend.
(UPEI to play Acadia Sunday at 2pm)
STU defeated Dal for the second time in a week for the battle for seventh place in the AUS. Much has been made of the Tommies demise but the Tigers have been almost as dismal these past few years.
I just read the Tommies goalie Jon Groenheyde has been suspended indefinitely for making contact with an official in Friday's game against Acadia. He's already missed one game. No word on the actual length.
I just checked the video and there is nothing at all. As soon as the goal is scored the cameraman moved right to center ice and didn't catch any of the "action".
I believe Gardiner is still miffed about how they gave a young player (Dan Tundin maybe?) a chance last time and he bolted early for the pros.
Each team can only have 4 players, so you would have to cut a couple UNB guys Drummer. Plus, I think Carroll is a lock should he be healthy...don't know if there is room for MacNeil or Houde-Caron....although I think MacNeil is going to have a huge year and you need guys like Houde-Caron (but I think you can find a comparable guy from another team).
Can't see Lavigne there...Peters and either of the a UPEI guys are ahead of him IMO.
I also would think about putting D'Orazio on there.
Will they stream the game on the Internet?
