[Maritime Q-Scout]

I'm not sold on Moncton.

Now I should qualify, I've watched 2 QMJHL games this season, a Cape Breton vs Halifax game over Christmas, and Game 6 of the QMJHL Final.

Moncton has a high powered team, and their defence is excellent, however they seemed to go through lapses, and I just wasn't sold on Riopel in goal.

The other thing is the Q over expanded and just don't have the product they had from the late 90's through to the middle of this decade. It seemed every year people would write off the Q champions only to see them in the final. (oddly enough unless Luongo was the goaltender)

But now the overall quality of the league is much lower than it was, I'd love to see Moncton win, and in a short tournament like this anything's possible.
