Playoff Update: Game 7s coming up

The first round of the 2018 President Cup playoffs has proven to be one of the better ones in recent memory.

There will be at least two Games 7s - and potentially a third - on Tuesday night in the QMJHL. Both the Moncton Wildcats and Sherbrooke Phoenix have forced their series to a seventh and deciding match with wins Sunday afternoon.

The Acadie-Bathurst Titan, meanwhile, finally dispatched the No. 15 seeded Chicoutimi Sagueneens, winning Game 6 by score of 5-1.

In Moncton, Mark Grametbauer made 40 saves in the Wildcats' 2-1 victory. The first star performance follows the bizarre comments made by Oceanic head coach Serge Beausoleil about the Moncton netminder.
Beausoleil tried to clarify his comments on Sunday.
It's been a great and close series between the Oceanic and Wildcats, which is not something we see too often between the third and 15th seeded teams. This series definitely deserves a seventh game - and it should be a good one.

In Sherbrooke, the Phoenix are heading to a Game 7 with the Rouyn-Nornada Huskies following a 4-3 overtime win. Former Sea Dogs defenceman Luke Green returned to the Phoenix lineup from injury and was involved in some drama.


On Monday, the Charlottetown Islanders will look to advance to the second round with a win in Quebec City. The Isles lead the series 3-2. If the Remparts win, Game 7 would be on Tuesday night at Videotron Centre.
