THUMBS UP-THUMBS DOWN MONDAY

Thumbs Up to...
  • the Sea Dogs for winning an incredible 13 straight games!
  • Sea Dogs alumnus Simon Giroux who stole the show on Thursday night at Harbour Station.
  • former Saint John captain Alex Grant for getting the call up to the AHL. Station Nation's been hard on Grant in the past but this is well deserved after a strong start in the ECHL.
  • Marc-Antoine Gelinas who is finally getting recognition outside of Saint John by the Chronicle Herald and Rogers Sportsnet.
  • Zach Phillips who scored his first career hat trick for Saint John on Saturday. His entire family was in the stands watching.
  • the Halifax Mooseheads. Yes, that's right, the Mooseheads have pulled off four straight wins.
  • Nathan Belliveau who is now the full-time equipment manager for the Titan.
  • the new video opening. Much improved!
  • the Sea Dogs program who had a nice article on Sea Dogs alumni now playing in the University ranks.
  • Jonathan Huberdeau who play for team Quebec at the World Under-17's in December.
  • the QMJHL for raising a grand total of $120,000 for breast cancer this season.

Thumbs Down to...

  • Acadie-Bathurst Titan head coach Ron Choules who lost his mind during a time-out on Saturday. Calm down man!
  • the officiating. Oh my goodness, the WHL has it rough if these two call this kind of stuff every game. The Huberdeau call for diving was a joke.
  • the attendance. Something just isn't right here.
  • the schedule. Attention Sea Dogs: there was a parade on Saturday that was probably scheduled for close to a year. The game schedule has been out since June. I know, it's hard to sell to tickets on such short notice.
  • to the woman who does the intermission stuff. "We should killing these guys," is just disrespectful.
  • Rogers Sportsnet. It looks like junior hockey fans will have to suffer through Rob Faulds calling CHL games this season. TSN, please broadcast CHL games!
  • the CHL for charging fans to watch the Subway Super Series on webcast. Shameful!

  1. I think it is not very nice to charge to watch Q games either. Perhaps they will lose out and have to revert back to free games. I wouldnt pay to watch a Dogs game anyway because the view is not clear enough.
