Quebec Spartans Preseason

5-7-0 was a loosing record. I took the opportunity to play the game and a good feel for the game. A few tweaks in the lines, especially powerplay lines were tweaked. No further transactions were made. The team is no contender, but with a few good trades it might be. The goaltender duo Demko and Stolarz are not ideal. But with free agency at the end of next season in mind, we have to at this moment.

Best player of the preseason was Eric Staal. He surprised us with a lot of goals.

Let's play the real games.

This was a tough first franchise game. We did not get control over the game. The Flyers were all over us, and when we had an idea of control we got a goal against. The 2 fast goals in the 2nd period and 2 penalties directly after these goals, killed us. Armia scored the first franchise goal. We have to do better.

A great first franchise win. It was a heavy battle but we won it. We began very sloppy and gave away a breakaway. A fast goal against, but we battled back. Nichushkin shot from a difficult side of the ice, but Markstrom bubbled it. In the 2nd period we scored our first PP goal for the Spartans.
In the 3rd it was an even match, but we pulled over the line. A historic win for the Quebec Spartans.

What a game this was. 50 shots on goal and not a win. We gave this game away. 1st and 2nd period started crazy. 2 very fast goals against. 2 horrible give away goals against were awful. And a stupid tripping penalty at the end of the game, followed by another stupid foul that gave Larkin a chance on the GWG. He got the penalty shot and ended this crazy game. Let's defend better.
