Anyone know what’s going on with Goulet?

Good question. Wouldn't surprise me if he's just a healthy scratch.

Good question. Wouldn't surprise me if he's just a healthy scratch.

I don’t know...I thought he was playing really well before being out of the lineup these last 3 games. I would definitely have him in over Watling at this point. That’s what led me to think he might be injured.

Can confirm

Edit:had a very cryptic source, I think I was wrong on this one!!

 

[UNB Bruins Fan]

Can confirm

If that’s the case then that is mind boggling to me...with 14 points in 21 games and also able to PK he should be in there over either Watling (2 points in 12 games) or Cooper (6 in 28) IMO.

Goulet has been getting more games lately. My guess is that Gardiner wanted to give Watling some playing time to keep him fresh. My hunch is that Watling is behind Goulet on the depth chart. As for Cooper, Gardiner seems to be showing his veterans loyalty by dressing them most every game.

 

[Rob]

Good to see Pomerleau and Dove-McFalls back in the line-up tonight.

That was Gatenby in 15 not Dove-McFalls.

 

[Rob]

That was Gatenby in 15 not Dove-McFalls.

I’m guessing it had to do with the camo jerseys

I must say that I am surprised that Goulet, with his skillset is sitting period?

 

[UNB Bruins Fan]

Me too...I would have him in there over either Watling or Cooper. I thought he and Rassell were starting to look really good together...and he can kill penalties/play in the bottom 6 so it’s not like a Trainor situation where he has to be in a scoring role.

If everyone is healthy my scratches for the playoffs would be Carroll/Watling/Cooper.

EDIT-

Go with a forward group that looks like this...although I’m not exactly sure on LW/RW so some of these guys might be out of position.

Clapperton-Boland-Brace
Bennett-Simpson-Boucher
Rassell-Goulet-Anderson
Boudens-SDM-McEwan

Maybe switch Brace/Anderson if they want to reunite Anderson with Boland and Clapperton.

 

[Drummer]

Correct - the team order sheet was missing Gatenby's number, so they went with 15 for that game.

 

[UNB Bruins Fan]

I was surprised to see UNB’s regular season record against X over the last 10-11 years. I suppose we mainly remember the playoffs/UCup and that has been a bit different story.

IMO, sitting Goulet, who can be a difference maker for Cooper is a mistake. Too skilled to be in the stands.

Anderson would add some grit to the Clapperton line.

Yeah , I have always kinda wondered what Cooper is really bringing to the table to be in the lineup every night, but in the same breath it's hard to question G-Mac....

Goulet may or may not be battling an injury. Playoff time now, details are limited

 

[RED ARMY EAST]

Did Goulet dress against Dal? Who sat?

No. Carroll/Dove-McFalls/Goulet were all out.

 

[UNB Bruins Fan]

From UNB’s perspective, I’d say you’d want to see UPEI in the semis, no?

I definitely think they would rather play Moncton. Montpetite is the best goaltender in the AUS but he can't save them in a five game series against the Reds. Plus, the Panthers are a far more physical team that is more likely to cause injuries. Les Aigles are more about speed. Which plays into the Reds hands as they are just much better at it.

Heard that Goulet is a bit banged up, and had been playing through injuries. Team elected to rest him to be healthier for playoffs.

 

[ZAMMMMM517]

Well, after inquiries to all of coaching staff and media about the DOC decal, I received 1 reply 3 weeks ago saying they were looking into it, I guessing that was to get me off their case. NO REPLY Seems a bit unprofessional but oh well, I know its minor stuff to them. Still find it hard to believe know one at the entire program knows who made or how it ended up on the teams helmet. Guess it will give us more to talk about when we bowl with Maillet next Tuesday. Thanks to all those who tried to help out...TY

 

[UNB Bruins Fan]

MacDougall confirms that they should be completely healthy for tomorrow night with Dove-McFalls and Goulet ready to return.

 

[UNB Bruins Fan]

Anyone else think they need to put Anderson back with Boland/Clapperton? He is just a much better fit than Brace IMO. Why mess with a good thing??
