‘I’ve never seen that before’: Home crowd, resilience has the Rocket a win away from moving on

Jean-Sébastien Dea was asked about the team’s biggest win of their season so far, a 4-1 win in Game 3 of their North Division semi-final against the Syracuse Crunch on Thursday night.

“The crowd was extraordinary, I’ll start with that,” Dea said. “Going out for warmup and seeing everything in white, it was quite impressive. It’s been a long time that I’ve been in the league, and I’ve never seen that before. It was fun to live that atmosphere.”

The 28-year-old has played in 450 AHL regular season games and played in 24 playoff games before Thursday’s in front of a sell out crowd of 9,873.
