Cape Breton Screaming Eagles

Eastern Division semi-finals update:

Cape Breton WON tonight and now has a 3-1 game lead in their best of seven series over the Acadie-Bathurst Titan. Lewiston finally LOST a playoff game (they've been on a tear lately... ) and lead their best of seven 3-1 over Halifax.

So, as I mentioned earlier, it looks like Lewiston and Cape Breton will meet in the Eastern Division Final. I'm going to try and make it to at least one of the games.

Being from a place that only has ice in drinking glasses, I don't know the first thing about hockey. However, in a google search, they seem to be a pretty damn good from what I can tell. Isn't it nice to be a fan of a team that is doing well?

Absolutely!! As I mentioned earlier, this is probably their best season in a good long time BUT getting past Lewiston won't be easy, they're the best team in the whole QMJHL which includes both divisions. Kinda sucks that the #1 & #2 teams will meet in the semi-finals. Whichever one wins will most likely beat the Quebec team for the President's Cup.

I'm not a dyed-in-the-wool hockey fan but more like a casual observer. Pretty much the same with college football and college basketball. Baseball is probably my favorite sport but again, I'm more of a casual fan. I don't really follow pro footbal or pro basketball at all.

Okay, being the clueless one that I am, I did not realize that the Screaming Eagles get moved to the Telus Division tree of the playoffs for the semi finals which is cool! This way, we don't have to face Lewiston until the finals.

We did indeed win our second round matchup with Acadie-Bathurst four games to one and Lewiston also won their series 4-1.

We now play Val-d'Or. LMAO, Val-d'Or is about as far away from Nova Scotia as possible out of all the teams in the QMJHL.

This will be a tough series BUT I feel we have the advantage since our regular season record is better than Val-d'Or. Even though there are two divisions, there is plenty of interdivision play.
