Miracle in Laval: Victoire score with 2.1 seconds left, win in OT to take Game 1 -
With their Walter Cup Final debut seemingly seconds away from beginning with a loss, the Montreal Victoire delivered one of their most dramatic wins of the year, defeating the Ottawa Charge 3-2 in overtime on Thursday night at Place Bell to take a 1-0 lead in the best-of-five series. The hero was Abby Roque, who scored twice including the overtime winner 2:29 into the extra frame. Maggie Flaherty fired a point shot into traffic which was deflected into Roque’s face mask and into the net. Roque’s big night was the reward for a player who has become one of Montreal’s most reliable contributors in every situation. Head coach Kori Cheverie praised her impact after the game. “She plays in every situation for us — power play, the kill, and five-on-five,” Cheverie said. “You put her around the net in a big moment, and she’s done that for us quite a few times this year.

Martin St-Louis’s faith in Jakub Dobeš made the difference in Game 5 -
Game 5 of the Montreal Canadiens and Buffalo Sabres’ second-round series got off to a start that could charitably be called “chaotic.” With five goals in the opening 10:15 of play, it was far from a goaltending classic for both starters. When the first period came to a close with the Habs trailing and all the momentum tilting towards the Sabres, it seemed like it might have been time for Jacob Fowler to come in for his first Stanley Cup Playoff action to try to salvage a critical game. Instead, Martin St-Louis stuck with the guy who helped drag the Canadiens to the second round in the first place with his performance in Game 7 of the opening round. After Konsta Helenius scored the third Sabres goal, fans began taunting Dobeš with mocking chants, and, folks, Dobeš did what the kids call “locking the f*** in.”

Defense Let The Buffalo Sabres Down -
from Luke Fox of Sportsnet,When the goalie who allows three goals on his first four shots faced is neither the goalie who gets pulled, nor the goalie who loses, one can’t help but wonder what the starter at the other end is thinking.So, Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen, how do you interpret Jakub Dobes’s 32-consecutive-save lockdown effort in the Montreal Canadiens crease?“I think that is playing good defence,” the Buffalo Sabres goaltender replied, after a 6-3 Game 5 loss. “You know, he’s playing good, no denying that. But I think how well they defend, how many pucks are loose over there, but they kind of get them away in front of him. They did a good job with that. So, I wouldn’t say it’s necessarily (Dobes’s performance). I think it’s more how well they’re defending as a team.”In other words: How poorly the high-event, low-composure Sabres are defending as a team.Luukkonen — already dry from his post-game shower, getting yanked after 40 mi
