General Game Notes: After a scoreless opening period, Shawinigan broke through early in the second period, then added two quick strikes in the third to seize full control of the game. From there, they shut the door on Drummondville, with strong team defense and standout goaltending leading the way to victory.

Comments: As one of the bigger players on the ice Ronson has solid size, though he is not a very physical player, and his lack of any real standout attribute does not allow him to contribute as much offensively, he is more focused in his own end looking to create clears with both the puck and bodies. He makes a hard first pass that can beat multiple forecheckers. When he is first one the puck, he makes it hard for the other team to get it back.

Poulin’s offense is characterized by his willingness to engage in play and create space for himself and others. When carrying the puck, he tends to rely on his speed rather than advanced stickhandling skills. He has a tendency to leave the puck exposed on his stick at times, making him vulnerable to being pressured off the puck. However, Poulin’s quick burst of speed allows him to separate from defenders and gain temporary advantages in small areas.

Comments: Poulin scored the lone goal for the Voltigeurs tonight on the power play just being in the right spot at the right time. After a little puck luck, he was able to bury home a bouncing puck that came out to him in the slot and took the goalie off guard. The shot was quick and even though the goalie was out of place, to connect with a bouncing puck the way he did is not easy to do. Besides his goal tonight, where Poulin was good tonight was handling the puck in small areas. He has a great ability to keep it close and find little spaces to make his own space larger. He is not afraid to attack triangles and make a move, maybe sometimes he should be though.

Comments: Bosson showed tonight that he is willing to work and the solid size and strength to hold on to the puck through traffic makes him hard to play against. He was able to show tonight that he is a strong skater with decent speed. He is not a burner, but he is also not someone who takes his time. He is a capable playmaker, though he has definite shoot first instincts and should not be relied on as a play driver, as he is a far better trigger man for a pass first forward. Defensively, Bosson has the size and strength to be a major asset in front of the net and in the corners, reliably able to win battles for pucks, but he is not a shut down force and should not be on the ice in high leverage defensive situations.

Comments: Keefe was able to show his mobility on both the power play and five on five. He does a good job at controlling the blocker in front of him when he is looking to get the puck on the net. His deceptiveness is as skilled as his skating making it hard for blockers to stay in the lane when he is willing to skate the length of the blue line. At times, he gets a little too puck carried away and passes up the right opportunity for the perfect one. He can pick and chose his decisions his times to beat someone with a pass and when to get shot on net better.

Comments: Lafond is one of the bigger forwards on the ice each and every shifty and his elite size and strength allows him to have a level of net front offensive and overall defensive value that simply cannot be taught. He showed that value, using his size to make a defensive impact by winning battles along the boards and in front of the net, and helping out the offense by screening the goalie and creating space in front of the net. One aspect of his game that if improved would really carry his game and that is his stick handling. He relies too much on his physicality to hold on to the puck rather than his skill.

Comments: Tasse is not afraid to play with the puck, at times, a little too much. He is one of the more skilled players on his roster and showed the ability to beat defenders one on one with the puck on his stick. He tends to over play this skill and caused too many turnovers with the puck heading the opposite way and himself back checking the play. To his credit, he is the type of player to back check all the way to the goal line, in his game though, he should not have to do it as many times as he did.
Felix Plamondon (D, L, 6’1″, 163, Shawnigan Cataractes, 03/18/2006)
Game Rating
B
Félix Plamondon’s skill set revolves around his ability to create space and opportunities through his positioning and movement on the ice. While offense sometimes breaks down, his goal-scoring ability from the point was impressive, as he used his speed and agility to get past traffic and beat the goalie. However, his mobility is limited, which can lead to him getting caught out of position in defensive situations. When calm and focused, Plamondon is able to defend effectively by staying in solid positioning. On the other hand, when he becomes overly aggressive or tries to make a big hit, it can backfire and leave him vulnerable.

Comments: Plamondon has a decent puck moving ability, solid skating, and good awareness on both sides of the puck. He was one of the better transitional defensemen on the ice getting pucks up to his forwards quick and being able to do it in different ways. He does play an aggressive style with a very strong shot, and as a result he tends to make defensive mistakes. He is prone to getting caught when he shows his aggressiveness on the rush or sometimes prone to turning the puck over when he tries a long range stretch pass. What stood out is how well he moves for one of the bigger players on the ice.
Jacob Lachance (C, L, 5’8″, 154, Shawnigan Cataractes, 07/31/2006)
Game Rating
B-
Lachance showcased a promising skill set in tonight’s game. His ability to quickly adapt to situations allowed him to capitalize on a two-on-one break with a precise one-timer wrist shot. Despite being relatively small compared to his opponents, he demonstrated impressive speed and agility, which enabled him to evade larger players and maintain control of the puck. However, when stationary, Lachance can become vulnerable to being closed out by defenders. His quickness is an asset in these situations, but it also highlights the need for him to remain dynamic and active on the ice.

Comments: Lachance is a non stop defensive force, bringing a high motor and work ethic to every shift he plays in. He was able to show that he is a willing penalty killer, and a capable shut down winger. He can handle difficult defensive assignments and grind his way to pucks along the boards. Not to say his offense is irrelevant but tonight his defensive game was much more apparent. He uses that same speed with the puck off the rush, where he was most likely going to take defenders wide, a move that ended up being predicable.

Comments: Lacerte showed off his hands almost every time he touched the puck. Wether it was slipping the puck under triangles on a one on one or little backhanded sauces, like on assist on the first goal of the game, Lacerte does a good job at keeping the puck close and on a string. He could work on his feet, right now his hands take care of the space he is able to get but could help support a better playmaking ability with some quicker footwork. His actual defensive game needs refinement, and he lacks the awareness and positioning skills to be a true two way forward.

Comments: With three points on the night, Lygitsakos led the way for his team tonight. Scored his only goal that actually ended up being the game winner in tight, getting it over the goalies shoulder. As his head was up, he picked a corner that looked like it was puck width, showing off his skill and confidence he has as a shooter. He is smaller in stature but his quick skating and agile maneuvers make him hard to get a body on. When he does get contact, he tends to get bumped off the puck, but he works hard to get back into the play.

Comments: Schneider has some solid size that he uses well off the rush. Both his goal and his assist on the night he was able to draw players in and stay confident with the puck when contact was close because he knew he would be able to absorb the pressure. He can work on his speed from a dead stop, he can get moving well when he has the time and space to crossover but from a dead stop, he tends to rely on his hands and size to be effective. He holds the puck along the boards well, he takes looks when working the puck up and down the wall that helps him find the next play rather than focusing on the one he is in.

Comments: One of the better skating big guys on the ice tonight. Showed multiple times he is not afraid to high step and look to beat defenseman wide, which he did a couple times. His smooth stride combined with a heavier frame make it hard for smaller defenseman to play a body on him which he exposes on the rush. Scored a nice goal collecting a one timer and getting enough wood on it to get over the diving glove of the goalie. His size and strength showed through this goal where he put his full weight on the puck making it harder for goalies to react quickly.
