(2)Red Lite vs Black Knights(0) Game 5
Knights fall early, Red Lite hangs on to win A division
Red Lite emerged once more as provincial champs with a 2-0 shutout win over their long time rival. In the third minute of play, O.Grenier received a pass from F.Caisse to grab an early lead, something that Red Lite wasn’t used to having during most of the series. That goal was the beginning of a trap style game that the eleven time national champs used to defeat their opponents. Despite being awarded a few power play chances, the Black Knights couldn’t find the right play or enough space to generate any real scoring chances. Red Lite is known historically for their all out offence, but tonight they showed how to keep the ball away from their net. S.Beauchamp wasn’t at a 100% but still got the job done earning a 20 save shutout. The second goal of the game came by the second period when K.Kuczmarski got a perfect pass from his captain Y.Labonte. The Black Knights tried everything in their power to find the back of the net. Unable to get much going, the Black Knights just kept getting neutralized for long stretches. After being awarded a late power play chance, the trailing club pulled out their goaltender for a sixth attacker and still had no luck getting on board. At that point, it was just about the final buzzer. Once the sound hit, Red Lite gathered up celebrating something that they have been used to for a very long time. The Black Knights, maybe hoped for a better fate and despite not getting the job done, have nothing to feel ashamed about especially after bringing a team like Red Lite to a fifth and deciding game. As for the champs, it’s just another day at the office as the red machine captures another title. On behalf of Hockeyballe.com, congratulations go out to Yannick Labonte and the rest of Red Lite for winning the Premier division.
The SalumiVino player of the night goes to Samuel Beauchamp of Red Lite. The net minder wasn’t sure if he was starting, but decided to anyway and was glad he did by denying every shot his way.
