Voltigeurs on tv!

Sunday, January 10, 2010

The Voltigeurs made a super rare appearance on TV! Somehow their game against the Rocket got broadcasted on all the Sportnet channels and RDS tonight. Only thing is.. the Sportsnet AND RDS had the game on tape delay. Sportsnet because they were playing the stupid Sens game and RDS because they had some faily football game on. BAH. But I did get to watch the game!

Philippe: Hey looky! We're on TV!!
Dumont: I can't see.. your head is in my way...

  • Wow. Jake in a Voltigeurs jersey is weeeeeeeeeeeird. He still has his Juniors mask though, which made him look even weirder. 
  • I see you Dumont playing on a line with Sean and.... hey, you're not Mr. Captain Vachon. Who are you? Brunelle is that you?
  • Drummondville now has two ex-Juniors. Jake and Toni Ritter (who is arrived in  Drummondville from Shawinigan). 
  • Well, that would have been a goal for Sean but Dumont knocked the puck out of Mosher's hands or something... no goal... pooh
  • Oooooooooof that could have been a brutal give away by Jake. Way too similar to that giveaway at the Worlds... 
  • Ayeyeye... he's lucky the puck just skidded across the crease there. Poor Jake. 
  • Is it just me or does Sean tower over most of the other players? He certainly seems to tower over Dumont. 
  • PHILIPPE WITH A GOAL (that counts!). Seeeeeeeee? Jake did listen to me and he must have kicked Philipe when he arrived in Drummondville. YAY Philippe! Also... When did Mr. Captain Vachon get re-demoted to the second line? I like him playing on the same line as Philippe. Philippe manages to score goals when he plays on the same line as Mr. Captain Vachon. 
  • This Mosher guy is annoying me. Let in another goal already.... 
  • Jake looks better now. Mind you.. he's bored out of his mind. Welcome to Drummondville, Jake. Home of the team that will outshoot opposition 40-10. 
  • Still... the Voltigeurs are totally controlling the play for the most part. Almost enough to make you almost feel bad for PEI. Almost. 
  • Very nice PK by Dumont and Mr. Captain Vachon. They spent the entire time in the Rocket's zone! 
  • So I walked away for a bit towards the end of the second period and apparently I missed.. Dumont scoring!!!!!! WHOOOOOOOOOO! BABY HABS FOR THE WIN TONIGHT! 
  • Um... I also missed the Rocket dude scoring. I think this is the guy who got his face smashed up by Hotte earlier in the game (and this is despite the fact that he was wearing a full cage on his helmet). 
  • Comtois scooooooooooooores! 3-1 Voltigeurs now!
  • SCRUM! What the hell is Lacroix (PEI guy) doing though? He keeps whacking the face protector thingy of Landry's helmet. He's not punching it. He's whacking it with the palm of his hands. Kinda how people slam on a door or a window, you know? It's almost like he's going "hello?! Anyone in there?" Landry's is probably wondering if Lacroix took fighting lessons from Semin.... It's really hilariously stupid. 
  • Oh dear...... Someone named Dylan C. Capstick (yes, that's his name) wants to fight Dumont now. Refs say no, but kick them both out anyway. Dumont's like "whatever". 
  • Game over! Group hug for Jake. Whoo!
  • That sound you heard is Piche sobbing because he's now officially out of a starting job. Again. 

In other news....

  • Juniors smash up The Acadie-Bathurst Titan(s) 6-1. Baby Marcoux gets the win. Apparently this is his second win of the season. I thought it was his first for some reason. I guess he must have won back when Jake was away for training camp? Good for him though! He finally got to stop being an itty bitty little bench warmer and got to be an itty bitty little goalie instead tonight. YAY! 
  • Tardif is now failing in Quebec. Shawinigan beat Quebec 4-0. Domingue actually had to finish the game for Tardif. Heheheheh..... 
  • Niagara (still following them, yes) lost a close one to the Kitchener Rangers. I would have listened to some of the game but both radio feeds decided not to work so I couldn't listen to the game. BOOO on faily Ontario radio feeds. BOO.

Good for the Voltigeurs! It's nice that RDS decided to broadcast them.

Eternal Pessimist said...

Yes! Well, a handful of teams get their games broadcasted on Sportsnet (usually the one in Ontario because they broadcast mostly OHL teams). But last night the Voltigeurs were on all the Sportsnet channels!

The only other major issue is I was stuck with Sportnet (because it was a head of RDS because RDS was waiting for some stupid football game) and the guys kept butchering everyone's names.... D:

Grrrreg said...

That can actually be fun. :)

Eternal Pessimist said...

I think Gabriel "Doo-MONT" might disagree :D or were you referring to the CHL games on TV being fun instead of the faily Sportsnet people?

I just realized that last comment was full of fail... I basically repeated myself a thousand times and made a gazillion typos D:

Grrrreg said...

No, I meant guys butchering names. If it's done on purpose then it's just stupid, but if the journalists are simply incompetent, then it's pretty funny to listen to them having no clue. Of course yeah, if they were butchering MY name over and over again, I'd probably find it less amusing.

Eternal Pessimist said...

Ah, yes. Well, it was amusing for the first period. By the time the third period rolled around it was like "Someone. Please. Teach. These. Guys. How. To. Say. "Couturier". And "Dumont"." :D

Grrrreg said...

Yeah, "Dumont" shouldn't be that hard! :D

Eternal Pessimist said...

You'd think...just drop the "T". Even if you're accident isn't right, saying "doo-MONT" sounds silly D:

Grrrreg said...

"you're accident"?
Hum hum... need sleep, maybe? :P

Eternal Pessimist said...

WHOAAAAAA...................... Yeah, I've been really sleep deprived over the last few days.... WOW.... hopefully my Hammies writeup isn't as horrible................
