Dek Lanaudiere come out sharp, Dek Ultimate endure difficult season debut
(0) Dek Ultimate vs Dek Lanaudiere (5)
Similar to last weeks performance, the Dek Lanaudiere came out with a noticeable energy, ready to show everyone that they will be a difficult opponent to deal with. It didn’t take long for them to find the back of the net with T.Canuel striking as of the four minute mark. After adding two tallies before the frame ended, the Dek Lanaudiere were thirsty for more adding two more goals by the mid way point of the game. Definitely a solid game-from a team that used their movement ,decision making and execution to overwhelm the Dek Ultimate. This one didn’t need any heroes as five different players scored. J-F Perreault wasn’t overly busy, but got the job stopping every single ball his way. Sometimes it just takes that great start to a game in order to get the job done. The Dek Lanaudiere did just that and never looked back en route to a well earned win.

(3) Centre SportXpo vs Hockeyballe.com (2)
There is no doubt the two competitive teams didn’t want to give an inch. The scoring was limited, but the goaltending was exceptional. F.Gagnon was able to edge out C.Ekonomakis in what was a brilliant goaltending performance-from the two net minders. Neither side really dominated the other as the game remained extremely close. The Centre SportXpo had the chance in the third period to widen the gap by two on the power play. Instead, a former teammate in C.Gingras, who was acquired by Hockeyballe.com via trade from le Centre SportXpo earlier in the afternoon, was there to haunt his ex-teammates on a shorthanded tally, at least for a few moments. That goal tied the game at 2 late in the 3rd period. Nevertheless, the Centre SportXpo kept pushing and were eventually rewarded when their veteran came to the rescue. P.Musto broke the late barrier with the help of J.Mandracchia, who participated in all three goals for Centre SportXpo.
The SalumiVino player of the night goes to Jonathan Mandracchia of the Centre SportXpo. He often makes something happen and tonight was no different as he was able to score once while setting up two teammates.
