The Premier Basketball League’s Saint John Mill Rats announced today that their Saturday, March 26th game against the Halifax Rainmen has been rescheduled for Tuesday, March 29th. Game time remains the same.
Ever since the Mill Rats scheduled was announced the fourth weekend of March looked like trouble for the Saint John Sea Dogs.
Originally, the Mill Rats had games scheduled for March 26 (a Thursday), March 28 (Saturday), and March 27 (Sunday). The first round of the QMJHL playoffs traditionally begins on the following Friday after the regular season ends (the season ends Sunday, March 20). Hosting Game One was never a problem, but the big question was when Game Two would be held with Saturday and Sunday unavailable. Playing the game on Monday would probably be costly as well as push the entire series schedule back.
But now, Friday and Saturday look like they are good to go and we will witness playoff hockey.
Who the Sea Dogs will play in the first round has still not been determined as the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles and Halifax Mooseheads are in an epic battle in the basement of the QMJHL. Both teams have seven games left with the Mooseheads currently up two points on the Screaming Eagles.
Of note, the Sea Dogs and Eagles play each three times this month - two in Saint John and one in Sydney.
