POSTSCRIPT: Sagueneens 8, Sea Dogs 3

A collection of recaps from yesterday’s 8-3 Saint John Sea Dogs loss to the Chicoutimi Sagueneens…

Our recap. Give credit to the Sags. This was their third game in three days. They came to play and put in a strong effort. The Sea Dogs didn’t do that.

The Telegraph-Journal’s recap. "There were five players that showed up to play today,'' Saint John head coach Gerard Gallant said. "I'm not going to name them, but the rest of the guys didn't show up at all. It was just a total collapse. It was a bad performance from everybody and hopefully they got it out of their system because it was embarrassing. We got what we deserved.''

Le Quotidien’s recap. The Sagueneens stunned Saint John.

AOWELL.ca’s recap. The long bus ride back to Chicoutimi will be a bit more enjoyable for the Sagueneens following Sunday’s performance.

SaintJohnSeaDogs.com’s recap. Etienne Brodeur had a hat trick and added two assists for Chicoutimi, Charles Hudon scored twice and Lukas Sedlak chipped in a goal and three assists. Dominic Poulin and Andrew O’Brien added singles to round out the summary and former Sea Dog Gabriel Bourret had three assists and a plus-6 rating. Christopher Gibson made 26 saves for the win as Chicoutimi improved to 13-10-3-5.

Sagueneens.com’s recap. Former Sea Dog Alexandre Beauregard had five hits.

MISSING IN ACTION: The Sea Dogs iced the same lineup on Sunday as they did on Saturday against Shawinigan. Forwards Jonathan Huberdea (foot), Stanislav Galiev (wrist) and Ryan Tesink (knee) as well as defenseman Jason Seed (upper-body) all missed the contest.

According to News 88.9, Tesink had knee surgery on Saturday and will be out four-to-six weeks. Tesink tweeted yesterday that “surgery went very well! A big thanks to everyone for all the support!”


FIRST: The first period was a busy one as the teams combined to score four goals and get 18 shots on net. The Sags had 10 shots in the opening frame. On their October 29 visit to Saint John, they had a total of 14 shots in the game.

THIRD: The third period was just a complete disaster as the Sags scored four goals on 15 shots. Not much else you can say about it.

PHILLIPS: Zack Phillips extended his point streak to 22 games as he assisted on Tomas Jurco’s first period goal. Over that span, the Fredericton native has recorded 13 goals and 28 assists. He’s heading to Team Canada’s selection camp this weekend.

HOME STREAK: The loss ended Saint John’s franchise record home winning streak at 15 games. The loss was just the second at Harbour Station this season for the Dogs. They fell 3-1 in their home opener way back on September 8.

EX-DOGS: What a night it was for three former Sea Dogs. After losing 6-0 in Saint John on October 29, the Sagueneens got their revenge yesterday with a big win.

Defenseman Gabriel Bourret finished the game with three assists and an impressive +6 rating. D-man Guillaume Cloutier finished the game with a zero stat line. Lastly, forward Alexandre Beauregard had an assist, a +3 rating and a team-high five hits.

VS THE SAGS: The Sea Dogs are now 1-1-0-0 against Chicoutimi this season. The Dogs have outscored them 9-8. Their next meeting is March 9 in the Quebec city.

CORBEIL: Mathieu Corbeil was pulled at 8:50 of the second period after allowing his fourth goal on 18 shots. His fourth goal was a weak one as, after he went down to grab his goal stick, a point shot blew past him.

Sebastien Auger took over in goal - but didn’t a whole lot better. He allowed four goals on 20 shots.

It was a night to forget for Saint John’s goaltending duo.

GIBSON PENALTY: Goaltender Christopher Gibson took a rare penalty in the second period as he flipped the puck out of play. Etienne Brodeur served the penalty but the Sea Dogs were unable to score.

FIGHT: Ian Saab dropped the gloves with Alexandre Roy in the first period. Video courtesy of HockeyFights.com.

BRODEUR: Etienne Brodeur went into beast mode in this one, scoring three goals and setting up two others. He was also a +4 and had eight shots in his first star performance. He was also named the Canadian Hockey League first star of the night in Buzzing The Net’s three stars.

The former 53-goal scorer now has 11 goals in 27 games.

SEDLAK: Lukas Sedlak had a big game. He had a goal and three assists in the win along with a +4 rating.

HIGHLIGHTS: Here are the highlights from SeaDogsTV.


QUICK HITS: Despite being -3, Charles-Olivier Roussel had a pretty good game. He had a goal, an assist, three shots and a team high four hits… Tomas Jurco had a pair of goals and a Sea Dogs high seven shots… Danick Gauthier and Kevin Gagne were both a -4… Saint John now has a record of 1-6-0-0 when trailing entering the third period… the Sea Dogs have now been outshot in nine of their 17 home games this season.
