The stakes were moderately high for the future of the Montreal Canadiens. Will Bitten and Alexandre Alain had a chance to fall on opposite ends of a 3-1 series lead. The Hamilton Bulldogs went into Game 4 up 2-1 against the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds and could’ve put a massive stamp on them. Blainville-Boisbriand, on the other hand, had lost back-to-back games to Acadie-Bathurst and were well in need of a victory.
The Armada got the win, while the Bulldogs didn’t, and in a tough way as well.
Hamilton allowed the Soo to get the lead 34 seconds into the game after some early pressure.
