Q Final Game 2 set for Mother’s Day evening
The QMJHL Final continues on Mother’s Day evening! Game 2 goes in a rare Sunday night time slot, with puck drop at 7pm. This could be one of the last times this elite Wildcats squad plays together on home ice — Grab your tickets!
Reminder: It’s a WHITE-OUT! Fans are encouraged to wear white and bring their ‘Get Wild” towels (or any white towel!) to the game.
Game 1 was a classic 2024-25 Cats effort — roll the lines, hunt the puck, hit & score. The Cats were coming off a 10-day break and took advantage of a Rimouski team just completing a 7-game + 2OT semifinal. Four different Wildcats lit the lamp — Pekarcik (7), Vidicek (4), Collard (2) and Lounsbury (7) – and all-time leading D-man scorer Etienne Morin ran the powerplay and added 2 assists.
Mathis Rousseau only had 14 shots, but many of his 13 saves were big ones. Rooster picked up his 6th Playoff win. It’s likely that Rousseau will get a rest today, but the Oceanic won’t — rookie goalie Rudy Guimond may be in their way. Guimond (2.00 GAA, .927 SV%) has been lights out since joining the team and has put up 7 wins in his 7 Playoff starts.
Rimouski keeper Mathis Langevin played well in Game 1 but with little goal support, it’s a tough go. The Oceanic’s leading scorers were kept off the board. Will that trend continue today? Bring Mom to the game and see!
