I really, really dreaded playing Rouyn.
| GOALS | 1 | 2 | 3 | Total |
| ROUYN-NORANDA | 1 | 0 | 1 | 2 |
| DRUMMONDVILLE | 2 | 1 | 1 | 4 |
Reverse psychology 101! With that, they were served just their fifth loss of the season. Hurrah!
| POWER PLAY | |
| ROUYN-NORANDA | 1 / 4 |
| DRUMMONDVILLE | 2 / 9 |
A little less hurrah, but still, half the goals came on the power play! Not too shabby.
Drummondville: Brouillard (the elder), Malouin (welcome back), Verrier, Boudens.
Rouyn-Noranda: Mercier and Fournier.
Guindon was in net for this one, stopping 18 of 20. Gusse stopped 19 of 22.
I am so sick of The Circus it's not even funny. I was distracted enough to almost forget about this game, however, which lessened the amount of pre-game dread involved:
| GOALS | 1 | 2 | 3 | Total |
| HALIFAX | 1 | 3 | 1 | 5 |
| DRUMMONDVILLE | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 |
With that, three wins were contributed by Drummondville to an almost-franchise record. Ouch. Thankfully Rimouski (and their shootout that was just short of involving the goaltenders shooting on themselves) was around to prevent it going in the record books.
And at least there will be no more games between these two teams this season.
| POWER PLAY | |
| HALIFAX | 1 / 7 |
| DRUMMONDVILLE | 1 / 3 |
The Volts literally spent over half the game in the box.
Drummondville: Verrier from Brouillard (the not-so-elder).
Halifax: Ryan (2), Frk, Drouin, Ciampini.
Guindon again. 28 saves of a possible 33. Fucale stopped all but one of 15.
I did not dread playing Chicoutimi nearly enough as I should have.
| GOALS | 1 | 2 | 3 | Total |
| DRUMMONDVILLE | 0 | 2 | 0 | 2 |
| CHICOUTIMI | 1 | 4 | 1 | 6 |
Drummondville: Ratelle, and l'ex-Saguenéen Vermette.
Chicoutimi: Sylvestre, G. Gagnon (2), Sedlak, Grégoire, Dauphin. Hudon had three very big assists (ie. he basically created at least two of the goals in question only to have them finished off by others) and Asselin also came out with three helpers.
| POWER PLAY | |
| DRUMMONDVILLE | 1 / 8 |
| CHICOUTIMI | 2 / 4 |
Urgh!
The Sags not only bust open a seven-game winless streak, but if I heard right on the radio, replacement-goaltender Julio Billia gets his first win in the Q with 26 of 28 possible saves. The Volts shared goalie duties in this one, as Guindon made 22/26 saves and poor Graham made 5/7.
This week: More Atlantic teams. Saint John on Friday, Bathurst on Saturday. I dread Atlantic teams a lot, especially unpredictable middle-of-the-pack ones. You should do the same.
Alum-time: Olivier Donovan had three assists in a 6-4 win by UQTR over Brock. McGill won both their games this weekend, as former Voltigeurs' captain Marc-Olivier Vachon recorded a goal and two assists in a 5-2 win over Waterloo.
Yannick Riendeau had 4 points over the span of this weekend for Stockton, who beat Alaska both Saturday and Sunday after thwacking Bakersfield 6-1. Charles Landry found himself in a fight against Marc-Olivier Vallerand yesterday. André Bouvet-Morrissette's Cyclones beat Philippe Lefebvre's Nailers 2-1 as the former is still in search of his first pro point...
Finally, Sean Couturier now has 10 points in 9 games with the Adirondack Phantoms as he added a goal and two assists in their last game that saw them beat Albany 4-0. He was named the game's second star.
