(Jean Doyon) – It was in front of a crowd of 1925 spectators on this Thursday evening at the Coliseum Cardin that the Sorel-Tracy’s hawks won match #5 of the LNAH final in the account of 6 to 2 against the 3L of Rivière-du-Loup. With this gain, the hawks have, at least, assured not to see the 3L lifting their cup before their eyes tomorrow night In Bas-St-Laurent, in addition to forcing them to deal with elimination. The hawks are now leading series 3 to 2.
Tonight, we finally recognized the formidable attack that the hawks had accustomed us throughout the season, in addition to a performance by goalkeeper Philippe Desrosiers who did not leave much opening.
Even if Christian Deschênes seemed little optimistic this morning for the return to the game of Alexandre Fortin, he hid his game well because he was on the « line-up » From the start. He also finished the match with 1 goal and 1 passe.
With Émilien Boily in front of the visitors’ nets, the 3L dominated the game in the first half of the period, leaving very solidly. They also opened the score thanks to a goal that surprised the goalkeeper. At the start, he had given a long return from a shot from Jason Imbeault, but Michaël Pellerin recovered in the area, advanced near the goalkeeper and targeted the top of the net to open the brand at 10:11.
Émile Villiard was cheering when he opened the score for the hawks
This goal woke up the Hawks which were more present in the enemy zone thereafter. So much so that Émile Villiard undertook a descent for two, following a nice pass from Marc Beckstead. He launched towards the net, but Boily gives him a bad return to him, which Villiard did not miss by finding the bottom of the but of the reverse to open the bridging in the spine of the hawks.
On the next game at 3:17 pm, Simon Danis Pépin saw Charles Tremblay in the center while Pépin was looking for a pass receiver. He gives her the washer and Tremblay escapes with two other players. He pretends and decides to quickly shoot Boily who was completely surprised when he saw the washer pass between the two leggings. 2 to 1 Sorel-Tracy after 20 minutes.
Charles Tremblay famous after the 2nd goal of his family
The 2nd twenty is on the move and at 6:45 TRISTAN PELLETIER starts for a shot on Desrosiers he blocks, but by stopping the Sorelois goalkeeper knows that his return goes in the wrong direction and Kasey Kulczycki (6th) « score » and Nivelle brand 2 to 2. except that it was the last moment of rejoicing for the Lerperivois.
The hawks resume the lead when Michael Poirier unchecks a throw that reaches the Boily goalkeeper in the mask. By blocking, Boily had just moved from her net and not knowing too much or was the washer, the cage had become a sufficiently gaping for Jérémie Malouin (4e), which was there, mark at 9:31. 3 to 2 sorel.
Two most spectacular goals
One of the two most beautiful play pieces of the evening, the goal of Alexandre Fortin
Sorelois supporters probably found their team on the two goals that followed. Two spectacular goals. Barely a minute later the 3rd goal of the Sorelois, Alexandre Fortin demonstrated his great talent as a marker by receiving “On the Fly” A perfect pass from Antoine Waked. Fortin escaped alone against the Boily goalkeeper and completely pounded it by giving it perfectly to mark the 4th of the premises. The 3L Éric Haley coach then decides to withdraw Boily for the benefit of Etienne Montpetit.
It must be said that for the rest of the 2nd period the men of Christian Deschênes played with fire by killing several penalties which were allocated to them. Except that the special units have done the job.
A net of the reverse from Marc Beckstead, certainly that this goal will be in the games of the week
But, the goal of the evening is without doubt the 5th of birds, that of Marc Beckstead, a gem of speed and skill. At 4: 51 of the 3rd period, Mark Beckstead (5e) received a pass on a clearance of Guillaume Beaudoin along the right ramp in the neutral zone. Beckstead left like a rocket, doubled a speed defender to find himself in front of Montpetit, let him make the first gesture, and mark the reverse in an open cage. Wow ! Certainly, we will see this goal in “The games of the week”. Philippe Desrosiers is even credited with a pass on this goal.
A formidable offensive and a solid defensive.
Then, on a power game at 4:26 pm, the hawks come to close the debate with a 6th net, an incredible « tic-tac-toe » Alexandre Fortin and Antoine Waked which will end on the palette of Shawn Boudrias, his 6th, for a final account of 6 to 2.
There is no doubt that this is a first victory for the hawks, made with so much authority. Shots on goal: 35-33 in favor of Sorel-Tracy and the choice of three stars: 1- Jérémie Malouin, 2- Charles Tremblay, 3- Philippe Desrosiers.
But, we must salute the work and the performances of Alexandre Fortin, Marc Beckstead and even defender Mathieu Brodeur who played a much better match than his last.
The hawks, which lead the 3 series to 2, will have the chance to lift the Cup tomorrow in Rivière-du-Loup for match #6. A meeting scheduled at 8:00 p.m. at the Rivière-du-Loup Premier Tech Center. Otherwise, it may be the holding of a match #7, Sunday at 3 p.m. at the Coliseum Cardin.
