Bees rumble as Redmen stumble in season opener
MONTREAL – Rookie Nicolas D’Aoust of Lorraine, Que., scored with 3:02
remaining in regulation time as Concordia skated to a 2-1 victory to ruin McGill’s
133rd season opener before 461 at McConnell Arena, Friday.
In the process, the Stingers snapped a nine-game losing streak at McConnell
Arena, dating back to their last conquest on McGill ice, a 3-1 decision on Nov.
9, 2004.
The cross-town rivals battled through a scoreless first period before Montreal
native Mike Baslyk converted a pass from D’Aoust on a power-play to give
the Stingers a 1-0 lead at 8:08 of the middle stanza.
McGill, which iced a lineup featuring eight freshmen, tied the game in the
final period when Simon Marcotte-Légaré potted a power-play marker
at 13:16 of the final period.
The Stingers (1-0) will host Carleton on Saturday at 5 p.m., while the Redmen
(0-1) will travel to the nation’s capital to play the Ottawa Gee-Gees,
who have dropped their first two league games.
REDMEN RAP: McGill head coach Martin Raymond named his new captains this week…Seniors
Eric L’Italien of Ste. Foy, Que., and Ken Morin were named as co-captains,
the first time that McGill will have co-captains since 1986-87 when Mike Babcock
and Mark Reade shared the captaincy… Babcock, who guided the Detroit Red
Wings to the Stanley Cup last spring, is the featured cover story on The McGill
News, an alumni quarterly magazine that will be out this week… Coach Raymond
is now 8-4-1 lifetime in OUA regular-season openers. He also owns a 38-36-9
record against the Stingers… The Stingers and Redmen have now hooked up
174 times, with Concordia holding an 89-71-14 record in those head-to-head confrontations
but the Redmen have a 39-38-8 record against them at McConnell Arena.
