Moosehead Player of the Game

Max Fortier. He played really well, and managed to get a hat trick in the process, with two of the goals coming on solo efforts. My hat is (literally) off to him.

Thing That Annoyed Me

Hard to really say anything bad after a win like that. Maybe the tripping call on Cavan Fitzgerald, it was a pretty weak one.

Game Notes

• It was a much better game for the home team. They did come out a bit flat footed in the beginning, but after Fortier opened the scoring they improved.
• Congrats to 1st round pick Durandeau for scoring his first QMJHL goal.
• Otti Somppi had a good game as well. The Finnish import record three assist in the win.
• It was a mixed return for former Moosehead Jordan King. He did get an assist on the Sea Dogs' lone goal, but left the game in the third after taking a puck to the face.
• A couple of fights near the end of the game, as Kelly Bent tangled with Kyle Ward, while Dominik Blain-Dupuis took on Jason Bell. Since they were both within the last five minutes, would not be surprised if there is a suspension or two (especially since Blain-Dupuis-Bell fight was right after Bent-Ward's fight).
