Fireball Player

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

Nathan MacKinnon, Jonathan Drouin, and Martin Frk - Yes, they aren't playing because of the World Juniors, but no one playing on Halifax tonight deserved this award (?), so why not the guys that are missing out.

Play of the Game

Notes

• It was the "Battle of Nova Scotia" game, so both teams had the Nova Scotia crest as a logo and opposite colour scheme (Halifax was blue with white cross, Cape Breton was white with blue cross).
• It was announced as a sellout, but there were clear patches of empty seats during the game.
• The fight excluded, there was only 3 penalties all game.
• Cape Breton's Dany Potvin did not have his name on his jersey.
• Halifax traded Craig MacLauchlan (C) to PEI for Jeremy Gallant (G) yesterday. I'm going to say Clarke and Terenzio won't be spending their overage seasons here next year.
• And finally, it is the end of the Cuzner era for the Mooseheads. This is because...

...ABELTSHAUSER'S BACK!!!!1!!1!!

Warmup Angle 1.

 

Warmup Angle 2.

The Screaming Eagles zone, where no decent person dare wonder.

There was fight potential. Sadly, nothing happened.

It's a bit hard to tell, but Potvin (#25 White) does not have a name bar.

Easy empty net goal.




Sweet, Sweet Victory!

Almost forgot: The Alcalde-Nicholson Fight!
