Fireball Player
(He's so hot, nothing is gonna put this guy out)

Andrew Ryan - He played a good game overall. Ryan's goal was a highlight one, since he poked the puck past the defender to create a 2-on-0 before shooting it past Brennan.

Snake Bitten Player
(No amount of sucking will help get the poison out of him)

Randy Gazzola - In reality it could have been any Moosehead who took a penalty this game. Gazzola is only here since his penalty was the worst of the bunch (and allowed Acadie-Bathrust to take the lead).

Play of the Game
(Every game has a defining moment, this is probably it)

The Alcalde-McGurty fight in the second period. Even though Alcalde lost, it did boost Halifax, as they later scored the tying- and winning-goals in that period.

Notes

• I didn't realize this until I looked up the recap on the QMJHL site but HOLY CRAP TERENZIO GOT DRESSED FOR A GAME (albeit as backup).
• The Mooseheads defense seemed shaky. I'll give them credit for being able to defend the turnovers they caused almost immediately.
• At least 3 times during the game a Mooseheads defender had to dive to break up a Titan breakaway.
• What I'm trying to say: In this game they looked a bit lost without MacKinnon, Drouin, and Frk (and, of course, Abeltshauser).
• I'm still impressed with Cuzner. Another assist and was positionally sound this game.
• I'm off to Moncton to watch the final game of the Mooseheads 3-game set. No guarantees of a game recap for that.
