A second straight day of practice for the Moose as they ready themselves for a pivotal game three tomorrow night where it is win or go home as they find themselves down 0-2 in their best of five series with the Admirals. While the shot volume has been significant for Manitoba the quality of those shots and having players in front to screen/bang home a rebound hasn’t quite been where it needs to be.
