Dugas stands tall
Blacks Harbour, NB - Anybody who follows the FIHL knows what Andrew Dugas' feelings are for some of the guys on St. George XXX. So it should come as no surprise that if Dugas had a chance to piss on their parade, he would do everything in his power to do it. He played an almost flawless game Tuesday night as he backstopped the Milltown Moose to a lopsided 7-1 victory. Dugas was sitting in for the ailing JJ Hyslop who usually tends the Moose cage. The win staved off elimination for the Moose who are now down 2-1 in the best of 5 final but appear to have grabbed momentum and are headed back home to play game 4 in St. Andrews Thursday at 8:30 pm.
The game was a physical affair with plenty of body contact going both ways. The one play that caused concern was late in the third when XXX forward Jeff Ross cross-checked a Moose player from behind after the whistle. The on-ice officials gave him a 2 minute cross-checking minor and a 10 misconduct which amounted to the rest of the game. It could have very easily been a match penalty which would have tacked on a game misconduct for game 4.
St. George will have to score early Thursday night in order to stem the tide. If not, it could be a long night for Nick Ganong and Company.
