Armos use strong start to their advantage

(2)Brewers vs Armos(4)

The Armos got plenty-from their short bench against the Brewers on Friday night. D.Charbonneau had a big first period scoring twice to help set the ground work for the Armos. They knew they had no room to lay off the gas pedal if they planned on getting the job done. The Brewers would pull themselves within one on two occasions but were never able to level. Its difficult sometimes to create much against a team that didn’t have a choice but to play cautious. J-F Aumais, being the last line of defense was stellar in net allowing only two goals on 24 shots. G.Lallis scored an important goal after finding himself alone in front of the Brewers net minder, a tally that ultimately stood for the winner.

Sonic save their best for last to clinch playoff berth

(3)Chiefs vs Sonic(7)

Both teams understood the importance of this one particular game. Quite simply, you win and  your season extends into the playoffs while the losing team will be stuck watching-from the sidelines. Up until the later stages of the third period, nothing was decided with Sonic carrying a slight 4-3 lead. Sonic would widen the gap riding a very strong finish that saw A.Passarelli bury his second. In the end, it all came down to one single period for the Chiefs, who just couldn’t put their game together for long enough. Tonight’s lost points to the standings is only part of the reason why they will not make the playoffs. The Chiefs played too many games with a short bench which eventually caught up to them. With the standings not completely decided, Sonic do have a chance to leap frog the Brewers depending on what happens in next weeks match ups.

Dominant second period powers Generals past Armos

(5)Generals vs Armos(2)

In another important battle for playoff implication, the Generals took care of business versus the Armos on Friday night. This contest was to see who would take first place of the division. Unfortunately for the Armos, they just weren’t good enough, especially in the second period where the Generals took over. O.Valiquette was in a league of his own scoring two incredible goals that helped position his club to carry a comfortable lead. The Armos did have some good moments here and there, but just not enough to match a more complete opponent. The Generals have the weapons in every area of their game starting with the goaltending. There defense is mobile with players such as J.Brunet and R.Morne while the offense is lethal when you have sharp shooters in M.Pinheiro, O.Valiquette and V.Lamarche. Who ever will face them wont have much of a choice but to play a near perfect game.

The SalumiVino player of the night goes to Albi Passarelli of the Sonic. In his clubs most important time of need, Passarelli delivered netting two big third period goals to help solidify a playoff spot.
