It would appear that a certain former Voltigeurs' coach's passage did not go unnoticed yesterday.
However, Bryce Milson, in addition to being fitness champion, also wins the hashtag challenge:
Whatever the speech was (or its actual length, given the conflicting reports of the players above), it certainly amounted to something later on the ice, as team Black sought and claimed revenge on the Reds for their defeat the night before with a 7-5 win (categorized as "intense," much like that day's guest) in last night's intersquad game.
Goal scorers for the B's: Jérémie Malouin, Charles-David Beaudoin, Raman Hrabarenka, Jérôme Verrier, Bryce Milson, Matthew Boudens and Toliver Bergeron. The Reds got goals from Alexandre Grenier, Jean-Benoît Beaudry, Lucas Balmelli, Alex Baskakov and Francis Lambert-Lemay.
Cuts were just announced on the Volts' website:
- Alexandre Veronneau
- Alexandre Bilodeau (what do you mean they cut a gold medalist?!)
- Xavier Labonté
- Gabriel Labbé
- Jonathan Rizzo
- Joe Fleschler
- Sacha Harnois
- Kevin Bernillon
- Gabriel Dubois
- Olivier Roquebrune
- Dylan Montcalm
- Andrew McCann
- Toliver Bergeron
The last of the four invitees left is Dexter Weber (!). Meanwhile, Bergeron, acquired from the Armada, was considered to be one of the potential newbies to crack the lineup, but alas, it was not to be this season. Veronneau, of course, was Graham's backup for some time last year. Louis-Philippe Guindon, Kevin Darveau, and Gabriel Forcier are the remaining three contenders for this position.
