A disappointing result for a team fighting for a playoff birth. It was really a must-win scenario for the Miracles. They are playing the Rainmen tonight in Halifax. If they lose that game too, I think it will kill the Miracles season....

There has been significant grumbling around the league around officiating in Moncton, and after watching last night's game I can say that I see why. Moncton also imploded towards the end and got very chippy. At least one player should have been ejected on an intentional and very nasty tackle that resulted in Kenny Jones of Saint John being injured.
That being said, the Miracles have had a decent season based on the talent on the roster. Other than Sweetney, there is a real lack of scoring ability. Hard work and rebounding has kept them in games.
As you mention, it will be a tough road for the Miracles to make the playoffs with games remaining against both London and Summerside, but its still possible.
With the win Saint John moves into sole possession of second place and Moncotn remains in last place. Anthony Anderson of Saint John had 43 last night, great game!
