Just say Blainbriand.

Armada, meet thy ballbusters: Well, that's a headline that is sure to bite me where it hurts in a future game, but these two pretty boxscores can stand alone in this post and I don't have to feel guilty just yet:

GOALS	1	2	3	OT	Total
BLAINVILLE-BOISBRIAND	2	2	2	0	6
DRUMMONDVILLE	3	2	1	1	7

GOALS	1	2	3	Total
DRUMMONDVILLE	1	2	0	3
BLAINVILLE-BOISBRIAND	0	2	0	2

So pretty.

Drummondville (Sunday): Weber, Balmelli, Archambault, Gauthier, Malouin, Verrier (2). Murray and Brouillard the forward with two assists each.
Blainbriand (Sunday): Paquette (3), Hodhod, Clapperton, Sanche.

Drummondville (yesterday): Boudens, Caouette, Verrier.
Blainbriand (yesterday): Sanche, Giroux.

Last night, aside from watching Sportsnet scramble for material with Ouellet sitting this game out on the sidelines, I enjoyed the talents of the budding hockey analyst that is the Montreal Canadiens' P.K. Subban. He had (really) good insight, predicted a number of things before they happened, and Nikolas Brouillard even got praise for his "Subbie-doo" spin-o-rama at the blueline. Now if only P.K. could head over to the MATV studios (formerly VOX) that is apparently broadcasting the Gatineau game on Friday...

Things that actually happened in the game (or before): Jérémie Malouin gets the C on his jersey for the rest of the season (Charles-David Beaudoin with the A), Matt Boudens has this wicked point streak with all these goals scattered everywhere (five games now), the jury is still out on Guindon's super-hero nickname (37 saves plus cool, calm collectedness in the face of never-ending 5 on 3's), it turns out Balmelli can hold his own in a fight?!, a Drummondville player is finally in the league's top-20 in scoring (Verrier) who has recorded at least a point in the last seven games, and the Volts are unbeaten in regulation in their last five games. They are also 7-2-0-1 in their last ten games.

Next: Gatineau. They were also in action last night and lost to Baie-Comeau, 6-3.

Next next: Québec, Sherbrooke, Baie-Comeau, Gatineau again, Sherbrooke in Sherbrooke, and then holiday time.

Alumni news and notes: Some people are already thinking about holiday time!

The McGill Redmen had an interesting Movember campaign (kinda NSFW, actually), and picked up wins against Ryerson and RMC this weekend. Ex-Volts aplenty in the latter game's scoresheet. They now break for the holidays and will be back to host Carleton on January 4th, 2013.

Otherwise, this week is full of zZzZz's, aside from the fact that already six days ago Mike Hoffman picked up a goal and two assists, whereas his opponent and former teammate Sean Couturier got an assist, a -2, and eight shots on net. Binghamton had the upper hand in this game over Adirondack, 7-4.
