Ex-Sea Dogs on the Screaming Eagles: Defenseman
Olivier LeBlanc
Player to watch: Pierre-Luc Dubois, who
was suspended a couple weeks ago for a hit on Luke Green, is Cape Breton’s best
player. The draft eligible forward had four goals and three assists in seven
games against Saint John during the regular season.
1. Two of Cape Breton’s three wins
against Saint John this season came during the final weekend of the regular
season when the Sea Dogs were depleted by injuries. The Screaming Eagles also
won just one game at Harbour Station this year.
2. The Screaming Eagles were one of the
best QMJHL teams down the stretch, ending the year with a seven-game winning
streak.
3. Home ice advantage could be crucial
in this series. Saint John and Cape Breton each won 23 of 34 home games. On the road though, the Dogs
were a solid 19-11-4-0 while the Eagles went just 15-17-1-1.
