Thursday August 21(E2 Thursday Semi finals)
(10)Renceur vs Assurance Evolution(4) Game 1
Maybe it was a little expected as the division leaders easily defeated a depleted line up. Assurance Evolution tried but knew it was a near impossible task tempting their fate with no one to change on the bench. B.Deslauriers used his scoring touch three times and R.Voinson along with M-A Lefebvre each had two goals for the win. Its only game one of the series but if Assurance Evolution want a chance to bounce back, they’ll need all the help they can get in next weeks do or die battle.
(3)Mighty Ducks vs Carnage(1) Game 1
If there is one player that will take his club far, it’s definitely the captain of the Mighty Ducks. M.Blackman put his team back into the match when tying it up late in the second period on the power play and was able to confirm the victory when he took advantage of a yawning cage. The game winner did belong to T.Salberg and after allowing only one goal on 30 shots, J.Blackman was credited the win between the pipes.
The Boston Pizza player of the night for the E2 division goes to Matt Blackman of the Mighty Ducks. The crafty forward was a vital piece netting two goals in a close 3-1 win over Carnage.
(6)Armored Saints vs French Connection(3)
Battling for position, the Armored Saints doubled up the French Connection 6-3 to end the E1 Thursday night regular season. In the second period alone, the Armored Saints did more than plenty bagging five goals to win the frame 5-1.In less than three minutes, J.Magri, the captain T.Cecere and V.Forgetta all tallied to put their club in a comfortable position. The French Connection did score in every frame and had to do it without their go to guy J.Farrese who will definitely be needed going forward if they hope to go far.
The Boston Pizza player of the night for the E1 division goes to N.Albanese of the Armored Saints. The number 33 had the most points finishing his game with one goal and two helpers.
The semi finals will feature the Werewolves against the French Connection while the Blue Devils will battle it out versus the Armored Saints.
