My thought as well.UNB in 4 - SMU squeaks one out, had a few close games this year , have to imagine at some point UNB has a night some bounces don’t go their way.
St.Fx in 4 - Raaymakers is the difference.

SFX impressed me Sat night. They were the "better" team during most of the OT. ACA stayed in the game thru guts, grit and great goaltending. I saw Couture makes several saves that I normally see on Sports Center.Looks like everyone has picked X but I am still going with Moncton in five. Maybe X should win on paper but I find they are very inconsistent. They didn't impress me against Acadia either.
I also don't think it was a fluke that Les Aigles finished 2nd overall.
As for SMU v UNB, I will go with the safe money and pick the Reds in three. If the Huskies have any chance to win the series they must win game one. Might put some panic in the Reds after the perfect season. Last years they had some success with the physical play. Theede's gone now though.

Richard got hurt in the third period last night . Trainer was on the ice and Outhouse was getting ready to come in. Pretty clear he’s hurt and was still in pain when the game ended, spent most of the third on his knees …. Tanner wouldn’t have dressed. Sure you might rotate but you aren’t dressing your third stringer for a playoff game just for fun , not to sound like a dick lolUNB played better tonight but it was still a close game. It was tied until late in the second period. This series is not over yet.
Outhouse got the start over Richard. Some think Richard may have pulled something last night. We will find out Tuesday for sure. Coach Mac has been rotating them all season.
Helvig has been solid for the Huskies but that fourth Reds goal was a bad one. Will be interesting to see if they go with Walsh for game 3.
I like Monday, shrinks up the long layoff before Nationals.After two close games at the AUC, UNB with an easy win over SMU. The Reds getting that three goal lead took the wind out of the Huskies sail. Helvig getting chased. Outhouse with back to back wins.
I picked Moncton to win the series but I didn't think it would be a sweep. X has to be disappointed with their playoff performance. Barely beating Acadia and then getting swept on home ice.
Is the AUS final starting on Monday for sure? With both series being sweeps it could start earlier.
I expect Mon-Wed-Fri. I think that has been the schedule more often than not.
However, last year it was Sun-Tues-Thurs. I wouldn’t mind that again.
How’s Moncton’s injury situation?Wrong on both counts, but it'll be announced by the AUS shortly.
Sat-Tues-Thurs. Just posted on Twitter.I expect Mon-Wed-Fri. I think that has been the schedule more often than not.

Not bad actually. Still a few out but it could be/and was a lot worse.
Mika played last night so that helps. Unless something pops up we haven't lost anyone in the semi's, so that's good.
