(4)National vs Bramabulls(5) S.O
Bramabaulls salvage win after ridiculous start
National generated a stunning rally-from a 4-0 deficit but ultimately fell in a shootout. That push came some time after the Bramabulls sparked four early goals in a very short span. F.Vellucci collected a hat trick at the speed of light and the Bramabulls looked to smoke National out of the building. But with O.Meilleur getting his club on board and with his captain M.Pinheiro striking just prior to the opening frame, this match was far-from over. National would eventually spark their comeback with the help of Pinheiro's second leaving both sides deadlocked for well over half the game. No one had scored since the 6:45 minute mark of the second period leaving only a shootout to potentially decide things. By then, G.Follano denied three straight players while D.Lonardi was able to solve F.Lamarche for the win.
(8)Chiefs vs Stones(4)
Chiefs catch Stones early en route to 8-4 win
An overall good start by the Chiefs proved to be the difference in this contest. A.Zarzour scored late in the first period before adding two more by the second for a comfortable 6-1 lead heading into the third. The Stones, although finding themselves in a very deep hole didn't call it quits just yet. Most of their offense woke up in that frame alone where they struck three times with the help of M.Gagnon's three points. Despite the late push, it wasn't nearly close enough. The Stones will now need two wins in their last two games in order to have a chance to making the playoffs.
The SalumiVino player of the night goes to Andre Zarzour of the Chiefs. The sniper made his shots count that resulted in three goals as part of a four point game.
