Moncton Wildcats News Release
The Wildcats returned to the ice after bit of a lull - earning a break after their 1st Rd sweep of the Sea Dogs. It took a Foreurs early goal and about 7 minutes for them to get back to business.
The Cats evened things up midway thru prd1 then took over and powered their way to an 8-1 victory. Tommy Bleyl's end-to-end highlight reel goal got the fans out of their seats & provided a 2-1 lead. The Cats never looked back. Teddy Mutryn led the way with a 4-point night (2G, 2A) while Bleyl added another goal and a helper for 3 points. Niko Tournas & Gabe Smith were a problem for Val-d'Or as well, they each added a goal and 2 assists.
Rudy Guimond was there to deflate the Foreurs when needed, making many sensational stops for his 5th win of the Playoffs. He even earned an assist.
The Foreurs will have a chance to regroup and make some adjustments. Will they be the right ones? We'll find out tonight in Game 2.
We'll head to Val-d'Or for games 3 & 4 and maybe 1 more.
