FINAL: Saint John 0, Sherbrooke 3
By Tim Lumsden
SN Staff
The Saint John Sea Dogs travelled to Sherbrooke on Sunday
afternoon to face off against former Sea Dog Benjamin Hade and his new
teammates, the Sherbrooke Phoenix.
After taking last night off and allowing Alex Fournier to
guard the net, Sebastien Auger returned to stand between the pipes for Saint
John while Jacob Gervais-Chouinard put on the blocker and glove on for
Sherbrooke.
FIRST PERIOD
The first half of the first period went without penalty
until Jeremy Doucet took a delay of game infraction at 11:48. While sent to the
penalty kill, the Dogs held strong and were able to fend off the Phoenix,
stripping them of any chance at scoring.
The second Sea Dog penalty came at 14:25 as Jonathan
Dickinson was called for roughing. As if that wasn’t enough, Dickinson refused
to go quietly, resulting in an abuse of official misconduct penalty.
Sherbrooke finally pulled their first penalty at 19:05. Jonathan
Deschamps was sent to the box for holding and the Sea Dogs went on their first
power play of the game. Unable to produce a goal with the advantage, the period
would end scoreless.
Total shots on goal for the period were 13-10 in favour
of Sherbrooke.
SECOND PERIOD
Once again, both teams put on a good show for the first
half of the period. One thing people couldn’t say was that either team was not
giving 100% effort.
At 9:33, Sherbrooke’s Vincent Deslauriers snuck one
through Auger’s defenses to put the Phoenix up on the board 1-0.
Doucet once again headed off to the box, this time for
interference at 11:06.
Things got heated as Oliver Cooper and Steve Level got
physical at 18:48. Each were sent to their respective penalty boxes for
roughing.
The period ended 1-0 with shots on goal totalling 18-6 in
favour of the dominators of the period, Sherbrooke.
With the third period underway, Olivier LeBlanc took an
early penalty only 52 seconds in. His penalty for slashing had him sitting out
for two minutes while Sherbrooke went to the power play. And on the offensive
Sherbrook did go. Alexandre Comtois used the extra man advantage to raise the
score 2-0 at 1:05.
Not content with just one goal, he scored his second at
3:57. Giving Sherbrooke a 3-0 lead.
Vladislav Lysenko headed off for cross checking at 6:01
followed by Brandon Lesway for roughing at 11:29. The Dogs, however, were
unable to produce points with their power plays.
Ian Saab took a roughing penalty at 18:22 as did Maxime
Villemaire as things heated up once again when Mathieu Laverdure got called for
slashing.
Despite a hard fought battle, the Sea Dogs were unable to
land the win. Shots on goal for the third were 12-7 once again in favour of the
Phoenix.
The shining light for the Sea Dogs was Sebastien Auger.
The goaltender kept his cool and managed to make 40 saves against the 43 shots
against him.
Attendance for the game was 3,017.
NOTES: See Sea Dogs Postscript tomorrow on SN.
