In a radio interview on Saturday night, Trois-Rivières Lions general manager Marc-André Bergeron said something to the effect that the Lions had a tendency of making the visiting goaltender the first star of the game. He may have been saying it sardonically, but in effect, this past week’s three games against the Maine Mariners were an accurate manifestation of this statement.
The Lions directed 132 shots on Jérémy Brodeur and Callum Booth and they only scored seven goals. That’s a save percentage of 0.947. The Lions would only collect two points out of six, both on overtime losses.
