Nobody could blame Raffaele D'Orso, Alexandre Vincent or Loic
Lacasse for thinking they should have stayed home Friday night.
The goaltending trio allowed sixteen goals, though Lacasse
escaped with a win as the Quebec Remparts outgunned the Val-d'Or
Foreurs 10-6 Friday night in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League.
The sixteen goals is the highest single-game total in the QMJHL
this season _ an unexpected result for the Remparts (3-4-0-0), who
entered Friday with a league-low 17 goals in six games. Brent Aubin
led the way with a hat trick as Quebec won its second straight.
Blown out over the first two-and-a-half periods, the Foreurs
(5-2-1-1) made a late drive, scoring three goals in the last ten
minutes of the third period.
Elsewhere in QMJHL action Saturday, it was: Chicoutimi 4,
Rouyn-Noranda 1; Drummondville 6, St. John's 5 (SO); and Lewiston 5,
Cape Breton 4.
At Quebec, Joey Ryan, Kelsey Tessier, Roman Bashkirov, Kenzie
Sheppard, Felix Petit, Ruslan Bashkirov and Maxim Suave all had
singles for the Remparts.
Brad Marchand scored two for the Foreurs while Mathieu Roy,
Maxime Levesque, Sebastien Laferriere and Marc Andre Cote had one
apiece.
D'Orso stopped 22 shots, allowing six goals, before being
replaced by Vincent in the third period. Vincent made 18 saves and
allowed four goals for the Foreurs.
Lacasse made 38 stops for Quebec.
