This is the first time in 10 years that Shawinigan plays for the Memorial Cup. The QMJHL champions beat the Edmonton Oil Kings of the WHL 4-3 in overtime. The Oil Kings were considered favorites for the whole tournament. Shawinigan wasn’t a top team in the QMJHL, but they made a tremendous rally to win the league championship. They were trailing 3-2 with less than six minutes, but Olivier Nadeau, a Buffalo Sabres prospect, scored the game-winner less than two minutes after Shawinigan tied it up.
Hamilton is playing only for the second time for the Memorial Cup. In its last game, the Bulldogs played the Saint John Sea Dogs of the QMJHL. The Sea Dogs were up 4-1 against Hamilton, who was supposed to make a lot of noise in this tournament. The Bulldogs did just that, though, in the third. Hamilton cut the lead to 4-3 and pulled their goalie to try to tie it. They just came up short as Saint John buried an empty netter. Look for the team to bounce back tonight and potentially have a slight edge over Shawinigan.
