REMATCH
This was the first rematch of the year between the two finalists of the 2013 President's Cup finals.

SHOOTOUT
According to Herd History, this was the first shootout when versus the Drakkar. It was also the longest shootout on home ice in history. 

JERSEYS
The Mooseheads wore special 20th season anniversary jerseys last night. I thought they were going to have there special 20th season logo but it was the regular H with the Moosehead logo. They were green with a thick red stripe on the bottom. Pretty nice jerseys.

ROUGH STUFF
If you don't read my recap there was lots of fun stuff during the game. In the first 20 minutes there was three fights. Bodies were flying as well, nobody seemed safe. It was a very intense game.

FUCALE
Zach Fucale was a wall once again as he stopped 33 of 34 shots. There were a few times he had to make a series of saves including a couple of breakaways. In the shootout he was able to stop all 10 shots he faced. He also has 80 regular-season wins now.

LUSSIER 
Rookie Jesse Lussier scored the shootout winner, his first of his QMJHL career. Congrats Jesse. 

WEEGAR 
MacKenzie Weegar had a pretty good game of course he spent a lot of time in the penalty box. Weegar had a few chances and assisted on Ryan's first period goal. Mac led both teams in penalty minutes with 9, this included a five minute fighting major in the third period. 

DUCHARME
Dominique Ducharme recorded his 100th regular season win behind the Mooseheads bench.
