Moose goals:

The Moose held on to win by a final score of 5-2 in front of the biggest crowd for any of the home starts this season (shade under 7000).  Lots of pushing and showing during the game which was punctuated with an unlikely pugilist in Jimmy “don’t touch Jimmy” Lodge dropping the gloves.

Three Stars:

1.  Scott Glennie
2. Quinton Howden
3. Ondrej Pavelec.

Autograph Alley:

Following the game some of the Moose players made their way to autograph alley where approximately 250 fans were waiting to meet some of the players and get some gear signed:

Upon Further Reflection:

1. The Manitoba contingent on the Moose continue to play well.  Scott Glennie and Quinton Howden with plenty of hard work and Peter Stoykewych was solid once again.

2. Jack Roslovic is dynamic and has tons of skill.  Still needs to gain strength but has great vision and makes good decisions with the puck.  He is currently tied for third in AHL rookie scoring with ten points (three goals and seven assists).  He is tied for 13th overall in the entire AHL.

3. Ondrej Pavelec played his best game since being sent down to the AHL.  The first goal is one he would like to have back but he bounced back and made a total of 34 saves.
