Screaming Eagles WIN in OT!

We WON our first game against Val d'Or in the best of seven semi-final series AT Val d'Or so we're off to a good start!

Lewiston won too......

We lost game two BUT we WON game three in OT

Tonight, we won game four on home ice so we're up 3-1 in the best of seven with game five on Friday night at home where we can wrap it up.

Lewiston won their series in four straight.... and are now in the finals. If we win on Friday, we will face them in the finals. Lewiston is by far the best team in the entire league BUT we did beat them the last time we played them in the regular season so, ya never know.

MAN, I would love to get a chance to see a couple of those games!!

First things first, we have to beat Val d'Or ONE MORE TIME!

GO SCREAMING EAGLES !!

CC, could you give me some insight on how Letang (D-man for Val d'Or) has looked? Hes a prospect for the Penguins and I got to see him a bit in the nhl early in the year, most of the info I get is from other pens fans, so was wondering what you might think of him, watching him play for the opposition.

The guy is freakin' awesome. He was named to the QMJHL First-Team All-Star Team this year and has chalked up a couple of "player of the week" honors this past season. He's pretty young, he just turned 20 this week and I think he's got a heck of a career ahead of him. Okay I say he's "young" for the NHL but he's actually kinda "old" for the QMJHL. He's been kicking ass in the playoffs scoring 10 goals, including three game winners and he has 14 assists (these are statistics through the 12 playoff games so far).

Our star defenseman is Jean-Claude Sawyer is pretty good too but Letang is definitely better.

Letang is the team captain for Val-d'Or but he's kind of a hothead. I suppose in one way it's a good thing to be a leader and keep your team motivated BUT tonight, it's just getting him in trouble.

At the end of two periods, it's 2-1 Screaming Eagles!
