Great series from our guys top to bottom, there wasn't really anyone I felt didn't push it every single game. They just attack in waves, any goalie we face from here on out is going to be in tough.
Rimouski was a formidable opponent, bit of tough luck with Coughlin & their starting goalie getting hurt before the playoffs. Was nice to have you around lisa! Best of luck next year in the mem cup.
Onward and upward to round 2, who would've thought we'd have home ice in round 2 after the first 30 or so games this season? Hopefully the fans keep coming out and packing the rink like the early 2000s. This is a really likable team, hard working and tons of skills.

Such a beautiful sight to see Maxim Barbashev crying in his own end of the ice.

If you think we are small, fall after hit, wait to see Chicoutimi! Not physical at all!

Just kind of thinking out loud here, but it's a crazy thing to think about what this current playoff run has/will generate for this organization. We're sitting at 8300+ extra tickets sold so far, and probably shooting for an additional 9000+ this coming weekend for games 1 and 2.
The financial aspect of selling an extra ~17500 tickets plus concessions and merch must be some real breathing room for a smallish market like ours who has had known struggles in attendance over the past 5 years.
Almost an entire week of rest and a few days worth of home cooking will be beneficial for our boys.

Happy they finished the series off. They played hard all game and did not let up in the corners all night.
The 4th goal was wild. The refs completely missed the goal. When they reviewed and it was deemed a goal Rimouski's coach was pissed.
The Fullerton hit was questionable, but overall I am glad they did not let up on the physicality.
Cheers to Ruccuia for holding down the fort at the end. The team was gassed after numerous icing, and as bomber said, the Hasek save was nothing short of fantastic.
Onward to Chicoutimi!
