Not taking anything away from UdeM, but I expect UPEI to win the series.
I've said this more than a few times - This is why they play the games. You Just Don't Know What Will Happen.
A perfect example of this was UNB-RYE at the Nationals. I lost a million dollars on that game by going on "expectations".

I'm sticking with UPEI to take game 2 tonight, and the series win on Sunday.
I want to take ACA over X for the series sweep...but have been burned oh so badly in the past. Nothing would bring me greater joy though than seeing ACA trounce X tonight for the sweep.

Acadia upsets X.
Had X challenging UNB for first this season. Thought they would turn it on come playoff time. I was wrong.

That’s a shame.
St. FX with one of the most disappointing seasons in recent memory IMO. I think most of us would’ve predicted them being a legit national contender given what they did last season with such a young team…not finishing in 4th place with a .500 record and being the first team in the country eliminated from the playoffs.

Just got home at 1120 from an icy drive back from ACA. Not sure, but I think the mood on the SFX bus may be a bit colder.
I haven't seen ACA play like that in years. They were way more physical than SFX and a lot more engaged. Several solid open ice hits, again which I haven't seen since the days of Mike Dawson. Everyone blocking shots, doing whatever it took for the win. I've said in the past how ACA may not be the most skilled team but they work hard. Tonight was a perfect example of the work ethic. With all the banging out there I did see a few players limping off the ice after a big hit. Hopefully, they'll be ready to roll Wednesday.
I know I'll get a text over this, but to me, SFX looked disinterested. I normally say a team doesn't look good because the other team is making them look bad, but I had a different feeling about SFX tonight.
On their 5-3 PPs they didn't do much, partly because of the ACA PK but they just sucked. McCollum was very solid in goal while Raaymakers got beat on a couple of nifty dekes. SFX was not without their own chances, hitting the post 2 or 3 times, but in the end they managed 1 goal on the PP.
I could go on about how "amazed" I was, but then I'd sound like a UNB fanboy. Suffice to say ACA were full marks for the win over what a lot of people (including me) thought would be a contender.
I don't want to say it, but there are times when I wonder if there is some kind of "dysfunction" in the SFX room. They should be better than they showed. But, that's why they play the games.
Congrats to ACA with a convincing win tonight.

Pretty big disappointment for the Panthers not to win at least one round. I know they were missing Brassard but they still should have been able to beat Moncton.
Great individual effort on the winner by Hache

Fair comments. Hope you didn't get a text over it.
I've wondered as well if they are having some lock room issues.

UdeM 4-3 2OT over UPEI...
I don't think many had this penciled in as a series result, definitely not me that's for sure...but as AUS Fan says...that's why they play the games
Full credit to the UdeM boys...they earned every bit of that win
Thurs-Fri or Fri-Sat start for round 2?

As mentioned in one of the other threads, the UNB women are playing Wed/Thurs at home…so guessing the men will play Fri/Sat.
Panthers just can’t seem to get over the hump in the playoffs.

Repeat after me: "That's Why They Play The Games".
fwiw, I had SFX 60-40 over ACA in 3 and UPEI in 2.

From a selfish perspectiive, I'm able to watch all the games in the SMU-ACA series.

Nice! Luckily both SMU and ACA have great webcasts
Depending how my schedule shakes out, I might catch gm 3 at UdeM. It's a doable there and back from PEI

So how'd I do?
2022-23 AUS men's hockey major awards and all-stars announced - Atlantic University Sport (AUS)
Got Rookie of the year and 5 of the 6 all-rookies right. Later in the thread I agreed with Drummer that Naugs would get coach of the year. Got MVP right (male coaches always seem to go with whoever gets most points; female coaches went with UNB goalie Kendra Woodland).
Got 4 of 6 1st teamers. Only got 2 of the 2nd teamers correct (partly because I had MacPherson and MacDougall at the wrong level).
Can't really argue with the coaches' picks, although not sure about Pinard on 2nd team ahead of several veterans.
Insert Keating for Pinard and flip flop D pairings. Not sure about Hawel as MVP because of X finishing 4th.

I think one of the UNB d should have been 1st team but Brassard 100% should be a first team guy.

If you wanna argue spots, Dunkley (SMU) played 4-5 less games than Pinard and Wilms and had 1 point less.
Keating is similar.
Or Trott (SFX), same games and 1 point less.
We can go on forever.
Opposing coaches see these guys 5 times and you can be certain that some of them talk to each other.
