The Halifax Mooseheads have played their last Quebec road trip of the season this past weekend. On Wednesday the Herd traveled to the province of Quebec to start their road trip. They first made a stop in Quebec City to take on the Remparts on Thursday night. It was a very penalized affair as the Remparts took the game 8-2 on the strength of their powerplay. Jonathan Drouin and Nikolaj Ehlers were both thrown out of the game in the third period while Andrew Ryan was also sent to the dressing room with only a few minutes left. Now games between these two teams have always been interesting and physical but this took it to another level. According to the Mooseheads twitter account they didn't know why Drouin, Ehlers and Ryan got kicked out. Quebec had 16 powerplays with penalty of them being 5 on 3's. There was almost 100 penalty minutes during the game with 63 of them being from Halifax while 34 were given to Quebec. Nick Sorenson had a hat trick for the Remparts while Halifax goals came from Ehlers and Andrew Shewfelt.
On Friday the team went north to take on the Cataractes in Shawinigan. They had a much better game against the Cataractes winning 4-3. Halifax was down 2-0 after 30:12 of the game. With the help of Drouin and Ehlers, the Moose came storming back to score 4 goals. Brent Andrews scored the game winner into the empty net. Nicolas Walsh scored with 2 seconds left to make it interesting but it was too late for Shawinigan.
Last night was the last game of the road trip as the Moose traveled to Boisbriand to battle the Armada. The game went to a shootout which Halifax was unable to pull through as the Armada won 4 to 3. Marcus Hinds scored the winner in the eighth round, Darcy Ashley was the only one able to score for Halifax. All 3 of Halifax's goal were scored on the powerplay that was held scoreless in the previous two games.
Halifax will now play 3 more games against Quebec teams all being this month and all at home. Rimouski comes to town on Saturday which is also the Mooseheads next game. On February 13 we welcome the Gatineau Olympiques to Moose Country and in the last home game of February it's a rematch against the Cataractes on the 21st.
As always GO MOOSE GO!! Have a great week and see ya Saturday.
