[VIDÉO] The cataracts avoid elimination: match no 7 Tuesday evening

There will be an ultimate match on Tuesday evening in Rimouski, between the oceanic and the cataracts of Shawinigan who avoided the elimination on Sunday, winning 5-1 in front of a packed room of 4,427 spectators gathered at the Gervais Auto center.

The two teams are tied 3-3 in the series, each of them having won its three parts at home.

Without removing anything from the cataracts who offered a quality performance, the oceanic did not offer that expected on its side. Joël Perrault admitted it to his press briefing before turning quickly to Tuesday evening’s appointment.

“Clearly, they played a better match than us. They were transported by their crowd. The best team tonight won. We had the opportunity to access the final, we did not do it, but what is positive is that we go to the house, a place where we are comfortable, “he said.

A point of view shared by Jacob Mathieu. “As Joël said, they played a better game than us. The crowd was very present this evening, which could have favored them. They played better and they deserve to have won, ”said the captain.

“We are going to have the energy of the crowd,” adds the veteran Pier-Olivier Roy, back after missing two parts. We know that we will not be entitled to error, but we have enough leadership in the team. I have already experienced this in the past. I will help the guys. I am not worried. »»

Course

The cataracts largely dominated the first period (14-5 in throws) marking the only goal through Vince Élie on a second effort in front of the net.

Jacob Mathieu created equality in the second, but the reply did not take long through Jiri Klima and Louis-Philippe Fontaine. Klima, with his second, and Jordan Forget, late in the third period, completed.

“We have given ourselves the opportunity to live what any dream hockey player, playing an ultimate match in the semi-finals. The stake is enormous for the two teams, said Daniel Renaud.

“In a series 4 of 7, you are never in trouble as long as you have not lost at home. This is why we did not panic at 0-2 in the series. We came back here, we did what we had to do by winning the parts nos 3 and 4 and then the 6, today. When you cut this, you have four opportunities to win one on the road. It will be our last on Tuesday, we will have to enter it, ”he adds.
