Things got ugly both on and office the ice for the Seadogs in the Presidents Cup Final. Moncton scored early and often today en-route to a 9-3 spanking of Saint John and 2-0 series lead.
In the dying seconds of the game, Moncton Head Coach and GM Danny Flynn pulled starting goalie Nicola Riopel which sent Dogs Head Coach Gerard Gallant lunging at the Moncton bench.
Gallant says this is the second game in a row this has happened and there is no reason for it.
As for Flynn, he says the move was no reflection on the Dogs staff or players he just wanted to make sure there were no goal mouth collisions that would see Riopel get hurt.
When asked what went wrong, Gallant simply answered Moncton.
So far, the Wildcat has out-scored Saint John 14-4 in the series. Game Three goes tomorrow night, seven o'clock at the Station.
