Montreal. Wednesday, November 12, 2008. A first period collapse cost the Juniors the win Wednesday night as the Acadie-Bathurst Titans scored all of their goals in the first period, blanking Montreal 4-0. Led by Tomy Joly's 2 goals and Eric Faille's 3 points, Acadie chased Jake Allen from the net after only 15 minutes. Allen allowed 3 goals on 8 shots before being replaced by backup JF Bérubé.
Montreal dominated the game after the first, outshooting the Titans 29-3 in the final periods, but it was Acadie goaltender Nicholas Champion who stole the game. Champion made 39 saves in the shutout, many of them spectacular.
With the loss, the Juniors record drops back to .500(11-11), remaining 4 points back of Rouyn-Noranda for first place in the Western Division.
