The 2014 President’s Cup Final begins tonight as the
Baie-Comeau Drakkar host the Val-d’Or Foreurs for Game 1.
It’s the first time since Drummondville and Shawinigan
met in 2009 that the QMJHL final does not feature a Maritime team.
In the season series, the Drakkar went 2-0-1-0 against
the Foreurs while Val-d’Or was 1-2-0-0 against Baie-Comeau.
WILD OFF TO CONFERENCE SEMIS
Charlie Coyle had an assist in Wednesday’s classic 5-4
Minnesota Wild Game 7 overtime victory over the Colorado Avalanche to advance
to the second-round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Coyle assisted on Mikko Koivu’s first period goal that
tied the game at 1-1 at the time. It was an eventful period for the former Sea
Dog as he also got a nasty cut on his chin via a shot to the face. He left the
game but did return for the second period.

Coyle also had four hits and a shot in 14:59 of ice time.
In the series he recorded a solid three goals and two assists.
The Wild begin their Western Conference semi-final series
against the Blackhawks in Chicago tonight. NHL.com says Coyle could be an
x-factor.
#EICHELWATCH
In Le Soleil this week, Quebec Remparts general manager
and head coach Philippe Boucher confirmed he tried to acquire Jack Eichel’s
rights this past Christmas and will try to acquire them again.
Also this week, Eichel signed a letter of intent to play
at Boston University this fall but that doesn’t change a whole lot from a Saint
John/QMJHL standpoint.
RECORDS
This week’s Dog Bytes Newsletter has a feature on some
team records that were broke this past season. Thomas Chabot had a decent
rookie campaign.
THE DRAFT
The 2014 QMJHL Entry Draft is on Saturday, May 31st
in Sherbrooke. That’s not that far off. Prepare yourself.
