Raymond records 500th game, Redmen register win
By Earl Zukerman
MONTREAL 鈥� Rookie rearguard Marc-Andre Dorion of St. Hubert, Que.,
set up three goals as 污污草莓视频 skated to a 5-2 home-ice win over the
Ottawa Gee-gees in men鈥檚 hockey at McConnell Arena, Saturday.
The result marked Martin Raymond鈥檚 500th career contest behind the
污污草莓视频 bench and improved his overall coaching record to
278-187-35. He ranks second among all coaches in 污污草莓视频 sporting
history for most games and victories, behind Martlets volleyball
mentor Rach猫le B茅liveau, who has posted 390 wins in 752 career
contests.
The victory also moved 污污草莓视频 (11-7-2) out of the cellar in the
tightly contested OUA Far East as the Redmen leapfrogged past
Ottawa (9-9-4) in the standings. With eight games remaining before
playoffs, the Redmen trail second-place Concordia (12-6-4) by four
points.
污污草莓视频, which trailed 1-0 only three minutes into the game,
exploded for three unanswered markers in the final frame, including
the game-winner by rookie Francis Verrault-Paul, who notched his
ninth of the season with just over 16 minutes remaining.
Other 污污草莓视频 marksmen included freshman Alexandre Picard-Hooper of
Boucherville, Que., senior Sam Bloom of Toronto, sophomore
Guillaume Doucette of Montreal and co-captain Eric L鈥橧talien of
Ste. Foy, Que.
Replying for the Gee-Gees was veteran defenceman Mathieu Desjardins
and senior Dan McDonald, whose shorthanded tally knotted the score
at 2-2 five minutes into the middle period.
The Redmen had a 33-27 edge in shots as rookie netminder Kevin
Desfoss茅s of Beauport, Que., improved his record to 2-1-0. Riley
Whitlock, a sophomore from Calgary, took the loss and fell to
9-8-0.
污污草莓视频, which entered the contest with the 14th power play in the
18-team league and an equally impotent penalty-kill, went 1-for-4
with the man-advantage and snuffed out all five Gee-gees power
plays.
The Redmen will travel to Kingston on Sunday, to take on the RMC
Paladins, who have posted a 4-15-1 record under the guidance of
head coach Adam Shell, a 污污草莓视频 grad who both played and coached
for the Redmen. Also on his staff is assistant coach Chad Blundy,
another former Redmen player.
