The Den will be rockin’ for Friday’s Game 5
Much love has been lost, many words have been exchanged & some blood has been spilled — and things are still even!
The Wildcats & Armada are deadlocked at 2-2 after 4 exciting games. This has become a Best-of-3 series and it starts Friday night with 8,000+ loud fans in the stands of the Avenir Centre.
Moncton’s Gabe Smith has been the main man throughout the Playoffs for the Wildcats, leading the Q with 22 points (13G, 9A) in 12 games. So it’s no surprise he has 7 points (4G, 3A) versus the Aramada heading into Game 5. Smith also set a Cats record with his late goal in Game 4, becoming the first Wildcat to score in 6 straight Playoff games — breaking Adam Pineault’s record of 5 from 2006.
Tommy Bleyl sits second in Cats scoring with a goal and 5 assists in Round 3. Caleb Desnoyers – who recently overtook Conor Garland for the all-time Wildcats Playoff points lead with 47 — has 5 points this round (3G, 2A).
On the BLB side, Mael Lavigne has 4 of the 12 Armada goals to lead them in semifinal points. Justin Carbonneau has a goal and 2 assists this round, and leads the Armada in overall Playoff scoring with 18 points (7G, 11A).
It’s a stalemate in the nets, as Rudy Guimond and William Lacelle take turns making life difficult for each teams’ snipers. Guimond has 2 wins, 2.36 GAA and .915 SV% through 4 battles against Blainville-Boisbriand. Lacelle has his own portfolio of game-saving highlights, while putting up 2 wins, 2.93 GAA and .898 SV%.
