I knew Halifax was throwing in the towel when they traded Duchesne to Val d'Or. Same with Moncton trading Bourdon to Cape Breton, basically threw in the towl.
Yettman's surprised me in what he's done in Halifax, and I'm surprised he over took Kennedy for the starters position. Mind you I've never seen Yettman play (I too missed the last Eagles/Moose game in Halifax) but Kennedy's nothing impressive.
The Eagles/Moose rivalry isn't what it used to be. Oh man I should see if I can find videos from the 01/02 season. I've never seen a rivalry like that EVER. The QMJHL used to have Cape Brton and Halifax play a home at home series over New Year's. The 30th in Sydney, the 1st in Halifax. Well in the 01/02 season there was a huge brawl at the end of the warmup. The blood was so bad that former Moosehead Ryan Flynn dislocated Nick Greenough's shoulder during the New Year's Day game ending him QMJHL career.
The playoffs the two teams met in Round 2. I can't begin to describe it.
When I get a little more time I'll look for the videos on YouTube.
