RECAP: Rough Victory

HALIFAX - They may only meet twice a year but you never get a dull game between your Mooseheads and the Quebec Remparts. The home team skated off with a well deserved shootout win over the visiting after being down 3-1 with less than 6 minutes left in regulation. Matt Murphy scored twice in the last 5:14 of the game to tie it up and give Moose Country some life. The win is Kevin Resop's second victory of the season, the first being September 13. The two teams were in quite a few tussles this evening with twice there being 3 or 4 players in the penalty box for each team. Surprisingly there was only 46 minutes in penalties, it felt like a lot more.
