Lavallee was in net, but I don't get the impression he played badly (hard to tell when you're listening on the radio). The team likely wasn't as disciplined as last night against the Phoenix, and some of the second stringers were in the line-up.
Khovanov remains red hot, scoring a late game tying goal, and the overtime winner. He seems to have matured nicely this year. 
Cats play again tomorrow night back at home against the Tigres. This should be an easy win for them. Three games in three nights however could mean some tired legs.
The Cats are now tied with Cape Breton for 2nd place in league standings, and are 9-1-0-0 in the last ten games. They may be in the CHL top 10 rankings next time around. |
Lavallee played well, mooseheads got some quality chances tonight. It was actually a pretty similar game to last night. Moose still have some star power that can do some damage.
This team is finding ways to win. Torchetti has brought some much needed systems defensively and regardless of win or loss I am always finding myself impressed with the hard work. The talent speaks for itself most nights.
I expect they'll add 1 top 4 D and 1 top 6 forward at Christmas. Need to upgrade on Sean Stewart playing top 4 minutes. Ideally he's a 5th or 6th D on a championship team. A physical guy who can chip in and play 3rd line like Shawn Element would be a nice bonus too.
Looks like it should be a big crowd tomorrow. Likely around 6000
