Rouen entrance.
Rouen, from the throw of the puck, rushes to Broz’s cage which puts his defender to blame. The resulting power play hits home.

At the Roman maneuver on the right, Tessier finds the opposite throwing the puck out of Broz’s reach. We have only been playing for less than a minute (00.49 / 1-0 / Tessier ass. Roman).
The Norman pressure does not fade and goalkeeper Caubet rarely puts himself in danger. Rouen will double the bet.
On a quick attack led by Maia, Roman well placed sends a shot that the post pushes back into Bedin’s ass who is in charge of finishing the job (06.05 / 2-0 / Bedin ass. Roman and Maia).
Briançon finally sees the opportunity to endanger Caubet in a power play. But this is not the case, because it is quite the opposite.
Roman intercepts the puck in neutral, goes alone but is stopped irregularly. The next penalty shot is converted by Roman himself (10.57 / 3-0 / Roman).
Briançon thereafter will have a double superiority but Caubet wins twice ahead of Kurepanov (12.07 and 12.16).

Always in superiority, they will find the fault. Well positioned on the blues, Burzik sends a great throw that Caubet deflects with the stick but the puck rises in the air and Villiot is the fastest to catch it (13.06 / 3-1 / Villiot ass. Burzik and Leger). Rouen will distance itself.
While the dragons play inferior, Tessier scrapes the puck, relay with Bedin serving Chiakachvili on the right and sends the puck under the crossbar of Broz (15.06 / 4-1 / Chiakachvili ass. Bedin and Tessier).
Leaving the Briançonnaise prison, Igier gives Faucon who turns to the left, his shot is rejected by Caubet on the skates of his defender Elorinne who scores against his field (19.01 / 4-2 / Faucon ass. Igier and Broz).
A third heavily dominated by dragons who without Broz’s presence would surely have had a much more advantageous score.
Rouen is not weakening.
If in the first half the goal came quickly, we will have to wait a little longer for the net to shake again, exactly two minutes.
Boivin retrieves the puck in the neutral zone, finds Mallet on his right who shoots Broz with a shot under the crossbar (22.00 / 5-2 / Mallet ass. Boivin).
Although largely dominated, Briançon did not stay camped in his area and took advantage of the minimal relaxation of the premises to put Caubet into action. But whether it is Kurepanov (23.17), Garifulin (25.37) or Guillemain (26.33) nothing helps.
In a game of Norman power, Roman as a distributor sends Tessier a caviar that bears fruit on the offer (30.27 / 6-2 / Tessier ass. Roman and Guimond).

Briançon is often in agony and is too often punished by the arbitration body. Chiakachvili with a powerful shot will score a goal that the zebras will refuse for a Norman player in the goalkeeper area (32.32). In the last minutes Berard knocks on Caubet’s door without him being able to open it (36.23). The last two minutes will be prolific.
Rouen is the first to shake the nets again.
Beauchemin recovers a bad briançonnaise pass in the neutral zone, the faster he goes to challenge and win the head-to-head against Broz (38.02 / 7-2 / Beauchemin).
On the throw-in won by Briançon, the puck goes fast in the offensive zone more precisely behind Caubet’s cage, Burzik more ready serves in the Fauchon slot that sends the puck over the line (38.12 / 7-3 / Fauchon Ass. Burzik and Berardo) .
A second third that the dragons once again generously mastered.
Rouen to conclude.
The final period sees an outbreak of the devils that are projected more on Caubet’s cage. The Norman goalkeeper is present in front of a solitary raid by Kurepanov (43.17) as well as a ferocious shot by Leger (43.36). But the indiscipline of the mountaineers is still present.
On this, they get away with Broz who hinders the desires of the men in pink for the occasion. He is up to Briançon to play another one but apart from a big slap by Burzik to the blue rejected by Caubet (47.59), nothing transcendent.

From that moment on, the game balances a bit, Rouen releases a little pressure, to the advantage of the high Alps. Mezentzeff on two attempts will only find Caubet’s crank on the first (50.14) and the post for the second (50.23) ). We arrive in the last five minutes and at the moment when Rouen chooses to put a layer.
On a poor raise by the visiting goalkeeper, the puck lands in Guimond’s football who does not hesitate to punish the poor culprit (54.48 / 8-3 / Guimond ass. Lamperier and Vigners).
Just enough time to savor this milestone, that Tessier’s Rouen (hat-trick tonight) will finish the fireworks.
On a new superiority, the game is well settled and the finisher in his favorite position on the left punches the unfortunate Broz (56.03 / 9-3 / Tessier ass. Guimond and Maia).
Rouen easily won a new match against an overly tender opponent (for several seasons). Difficult to learn from this game because the difference in height was sensational. Of course Briançon played (with his weapons), he never closed the game but the indiscipline cost too much to the men of coach Sedlak. For the Normans, the bet will certainly be much more difficult for this Friday’s derby against neighboring Picard.
