Connect Four?

Just like the old children's classic, Connect Four, the Shockers are looking to make a connection of their own when they take on the Decepticons and try extend their winning streak to four games. Winning is not exactly a steady wave the Shockers have been riding all season and every game is a constant battle for the squad, captain Alain Godard explains:

"We were happy to start off the season with a win but things got rocky from there. Picking up some key defensemen helped us out a bunch but we're really working on playing a good defensive game. Every game is a battle for us to remain consistant, I think that is one of our biggest issues."

Shockers have been dabbling in some recent success however, where they have been getting point production from both first and second lines up front and much alike from the defense.

"Keeping the ball out of our net is your main objective but when you blast the ball out of your zone and it goes in their net, that's where this game gets sweet," elaborated Marc Boucher, who baffled everyone at le Rinque with his highlight reel howitzer goal all the way from the faceoff circle in his zone.

Decepticons, who are coming off a close-call loss against the District 5 Knights 4-3, will look to battle back hard expecially since they lost the last two against the Shockers in shootouts. Dwayne Pilon, who notched the game-winner in the shootout last time these teams met commented on how the Shockers need to win it in regulation time this time around:

"We're all good and happy to win the game but we have to win it in regulation time to take the pressure off [Giancarlo Capaz] and ourselves. These guys are beatable, so let's do it!"
