IThey tip the week in the right direction. After their narrow defeat in Grenoble on penalties (2-1), after their narrow success in overtime in Briançon, at the last of Magnus (2-3), the Boxers set the record straight by dominating the Scorpions of Mulhouse (5-1). A success that relegates the Alsatians to eleven points from the Boxers. A very good operation without context with a view to qualifying for the rollercoaster of the play-offs.
“We had the merit of having been able to react after a good reframing in the locker room”
“We are taking advantage of this victory, rejoices coach Olivier Dimet. I’m going to save the three points tonight even though we missed our skates in the first period. We had the merit of having been able to react after a good reframing in the locker room. It woke everyone up. Tonight, we knew how to make our chances come true and give ourselves a big victory, even if Mulhouse had more shoots than us. But this victory is a good operation at the accounting level. »
The Boxers, however, begin this meeting in the worst possible way. Barely four minutes of play and the votes brought to the score. Picked cold, the Bordelais are slow to react, to find the right carburation. But the latter will gradually stretch a spider’s web to the Scorpions. A mastery that leads to the equalizer signed Legault shortly before returning to the locker room (1-1, 17th). A but which comes to reward the abnegation of Bordeaux. But it takes more to shake up the solid Alsatian defense. The Boxers are working on it, harassing the opposing goalkeeper. Paid tactic since on a missile from the inevitable Legault, the Bordelais finally took the advantage (2-1, 32nd).
Legault on fire
A deserved takeover for the men of Olivier Dimet who controls and will still sting at the right time. Forty-six seconds after returning to the ice, the Girondins finally give themselves some air thanks to Poudrier. A break which has the advantage of knocking out less incisive Scorpions. A godsend for the Boxers who try to sink their opponents. Undermining work that pays off and even offers Legault a penalty shot that the Quebecer will not convert into a goal (55th). Not a problem for the hero of the day, totally on fire and who will offer himself a hat-trick a minute later, making the Bordeaux success even more dazzling (4-1). A success that will be enriched by a final achievement in an empty cage by Moisand thirty seconds from the end (5-1), making the evening even more beautiful.
