My recap: The Baie-Comeau Drakkar were the team to finally end Halifax's improbable
winning streak.
The Chronicle Herald's recap: The Baie-Comeau Drakkar
proved they are not about to give up.
Metro Halifax's recap: As far as Stephen MacAulay’s
concerned, the Halifax Mooseheads have only one option after suffering their
first defeat of the postseason on Tuesday night.
The Canadian Press' recap: The Baie-Comeau Drakkar ended Halifax's dominant streak and got
back into the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League final.
DROUIN: Jonathan Drouin was incognito for
the second half of the second period in last night's game after taking a knee on
knee hit from Alexandre Ranger. Drouin did come back in the third period but
didn't play very much. After the hit, he stayed on the ice for a minute than
skated on his accord to the bench and limped to the dressing room obviously in a
lot of pain.
GELINAS: Carl Gelinas of the Drakkar had
the only multi-point night of the game in the low scoring affair. Of course his
second point was the empty net goal so does it really count? With point totals
it does but still.
FUCALE: Zach Fucale stopped 27 shots
last night in the loss. It was the same amount he had to make in the 4-3 win on
Saturday.
ABELTSHAUSER: Konrad Abeltshauser was named
CHL Player of the Week earlier on Tuesday. He kept up with that during the game.
BIG SCREEN: Last night's game was shown to the fans of
Halifax on the big screen in Grand Parade Square. The city will once again be
putting up the big screen for Game 4 tonight.
RECORD:
The Hull Olympiques have kept a hold of their record set back in 1986. Hull
holds the record for longest winning streak to start a playoffs after going 15-0
in the 1986 QMJHL playoffs. When they did it, teams had to win three best of
nine series'. The Mooseheads winning streak ended at 14 games after last night.
FIVE: For the first time in this year's playoffs,
Halifax will need to play a game five. Last night's loss might actually be a
blessing in disguise. It will teach the Moose how to handle tough losses which
they may (hopefully not though) encounter if they make it to the Memorial Cup.
SCORES
Portland 3 - 1 Edmonton (POR leads
2-1)
NEXT GAME: Halifax and Baie-Comeau will once again
battle it out at the Henry-Leonard Centre tonight at 8:30pm.
