Moose 5, Eagles 2: Bright spots/Lines
| by: Matthew Wuest | September 01, 2008 9:00 PM | comments: (0) |
The following bright spots and lines from the Halifax Mooseheads' 5-2 win over the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles on Monday night at the Forum.
BRIGHT SPOTS
* Gerrad Grant: Great puck protection skills, good shot, excellent work ethic.
* Scott McDonald: Mobile, smart puck-mover.
* Andrew White: Buzzing all night with his speed. Wore the C and is a logical choice to wear it permanently, if he is chosen as a 20-year-old, which should be a no-brainer.
* Jessyko Bernard: A great prospect with size, strength, smarts and soft hands.
* Matt Snow: Speed, shot.
* Chad Earle: Hustled hard and played like he knew a job was on the line --- and one was.
* Ned O'Brien: Another free-agent steal, which makes you wonder if it's a coincidence he's from the same home town as Colby Pridham, another guy who came from nowhere. Knows where to go to score, and finishes when he gets there.
LINES
FORWARDS
Matt Snow-Yuri Cheremetiev-Jessyko Bernard
Gerrad Grant-Tomas Knotek-Andrew White
Eric Louis-Seize-Linden Bahm-Charles Bety

DEFENCEMEN

Now the Boston fans know what Moose fans had to put up with last year, lots of luck to them, I doubt he stays up with the big club

You hit it right on the head Matthew. We paid dearly for a player we did not need. I believe we could have picked up a couple of solid defencemen for 4th or 5th round picks. The teams chemistry was...

This was a really good effort by the team. If they keep playing this way the bounces will start going their way. Keep up the good work. Ratcat
