We were not far from wondering what would happen if no one managed to register their shot on goal when Oula Uski put an end to our thoughts. After 17 unsuccessful attempts on both sides, including his opening ball, the Finn ended up beating David Richer. The Chambéry goalkeeper might have been in a very big day, to the point of having repelled the 55 Caen shots before the fateful session, he ended up cracking up against the exercise specialist.

Ultra-domineering Caen

It is therefore thanks to penalties that Caen returned to victory, Saturday, November 13, 2021 in front of Chambéry (2-1). If we had polled the public during the first third, there would surely not have been many people to believe it. The Drakkars were ultra-domineering and their advantage of one but poorly reflected the debates. André Ménard had converted at least the string of opportunities obtained by his team. In the space of 20 minutes, the HCC framed no less than… 23 shots.

I thought we were going to make this game easier. We have to kill him in the first half. On occasions, we touch the posts and their goalkeeper makes a big match.

“Just a question of efficiency”

In front at the end of the first act, Caen seemed to have done the hard part. Control was clearly on his side and would stay that way in the second half. But shortly before the second break, Joé Dubé equalized on the power play on an avoidable action. Behind, the Normans continued to push, but nothing helped. When it doesn’t want to …

We have to put them in. I cannot say otherwise. We shoot 55 times in the match … It’s just a question of efficiency.

Digital superiorities that don’t pay off

The observation is especially valid on numerical superiorities, these power games that are definitely not smiling at the Hockey Club of Caen this season. “We create opportunities for ourselves,” asked Luc Chauvel. It does not turn. There are years when we fail to install our game. We do not. “It only remains to chase the” little gear “which makes some people doubt in front of the goal and others force a little too much to try to compensate. “We must continue to work and the goal will arrive. “

Before two exciting matches against Mont-Blanc and Brest, Caen is second in D1 between… Brest and Mont-Blanc. His victory over Chambéry was obtained after regulation time, it only brought him two points instead of three.
