With his Gloucester opponents needing only a tie to eliminate his Cumberland team from playoffs, Romeo Boudreau stood on his head, posting a 2-0 shutout last Monday night to force a 5th and deciding game in their Major Midget AA series.
He definitely had his work cut out for him. With his team up 1-0 with 6 minutes left in the 3rd, a big fight broke out, resulting in 3 of Cumberland’s top forwards being kicked out of the game and Cumberland playing the full remaining 6 minutes shorthanded (at times, 2 men down). Gloucester came close at one point, ringing one off the crossbar, but Boudreau stood his ground, and his team put the game away scoring an empty net goal with 20 seconds left in the game. What a great win!
Romeo’s stats from this season have been very impressive:
Regular Season: 8 wins (including 2 shutouts), 1 loss, 4 ties, GAA 2.20
Playoffs: 4 wins (including 2 back to back shutouts against the #1 team), 0 losses, 1 tie, GAA 1.48
Congrats!
