I think it boils down to the fact that Haliax is now playing teams that have the type of style that they haven't really seen throughout the Q playoffs. Yeah there is some good defensemen in the Q, but nothing like the those big western Canadian farm boys who know how to play guys like MacKinnon and Drouin. Moose head coach even said the team was ready to play and the back to back days wouldn't matter. It just shows the lack of strength on the back end plus tough power forwards that Halifax lacks. The London game should be great. I think London beats em though, they'll be in their face all game long, something the Drakkar and Huskies just couldn't do on that level.
Is there anything you would like to say to the Moosehead and to their fans after the royal thumping they gave the Knights today?
I think the QMJHL is getting incredibly bad press from OHL and WHL pundits. After scoring 18 goals in 3 games against the top teams from apparently better leagues, you would think people would give them a little more credit.
