Voltigeurs take 2-0 series lead over Drakkar

HALIFAX – I tried the Tim Hortons pizza on Friday. It was... alright. Definitely a bit undercooked. But I've had worse pizza.

I give it a 5/10. Like most things at Tims, quality probably varies from pizza to pizza.

Anyways, onto the hockey...
  • The Drummondville Voltigeurs won a tremendous goaltending battle on Friday, defeating the Baie-Comeau Drakkar 1-0 in overtime to take a 2-0 series lead in the Gilles Courteau Trophy final. Ethan Gauthier scored the game winner 5:23 into overtime.
  • High powered Baie-Comeau has, shockingly, yet to score a goal in this series, losing 5-0 Thursday and 1-0 Friday. On top of that, the Drakkar were 7-0 on home ice in the post-season heading into this series and have dropped both games at the Henry Leonard Centre. The series now shifts to Drummondville for Games 3 and 4.
  • Former Sea Dogs forward Noah Reinhart of the Voltigeurs has been held pointless in both games of this series and in his past five playoff games overall. 
  • The offensive struggles continued for the Boston Bruins on Friday, recording just 16 shots in a 6-2 home loss to the Florida Panthers. Florida now leads the best-of-seven series 2-1. Boston's Charlie Coyle, the lone former Sea Dog playing in this year's Stanley Cup Playoffs, was held pointless in 18:15 of ice time.
  • At the Centennial Cup in Oakville, ON, the Miramichi Timberwolves rebounded from a Thursday loss (4-1 to the Melfort Mustangs) by defeating the host Oakville Blades 7-4 on Friday. Former Sea Dogs forward Cole Foston had a goal in the win. The Timberwolves are back in action on Sunday against the Sioux Lookout Bombers.
