The 2012 MasterCard Memorial Cup begins in one month. The
Shawinigan Cataractes, your proud hosts, will have an entire month off to
prepare for the event.
The Chicoutimi Sagueneens, the No. 8 seed, stunned the
Cataractes with a 3-2 win in Game 7 of their quarterfinal playoff series on
Tuesday night at the Bionest Centre. Chicoutimi, featuring former Sea Dogs
Alexandre Beauregard, Gabriel Bourret, and Guillaume Cloutier, will now move on
to play Saint John in the semifinals which begin on Friday at Harbour Station.
We honestly don’t even know what to say right now. All
the drama that has gone down over the past year between Shawinigan and Saint
John has suddenly come to an abrupt end for at least a couple weeks.
Luckily for Shawinigan, their choke was overshadowed by
the Quebec Remparts who completed an epic collapse tonight.
The Halifax Moosehaeds came back from a 3-0 series deficit and
won Game 7 tonight 5-4 in overtime, sending the young Herd to the semifinals.
It’s just the fourth time in league history a team has come back from 3-0 down
in a series and won.
What a moment for Moose Country.
Halifax will play Rimouski in the other semifinal. The
Oceanic defeated the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada 5-4 in the other, other Game
7 in the Q. All three road teams won Game 7s tonight.
So, Saint John will play Chicoutimi and Rimouski will
play Halifax in the semis. Who saw that coming?
