Alexandre Grenier had not scored since February 8. The Quebecer was able to choose the best time to regain his sense of purpose after six famine matches. It was he who opened the scoring against the Langnau Tigers in the first period, it was above all he who avoided a debacle for his team by scoring the winning goal within five minutes of the end of regular time when the score was 1-1. The “savior”, however, did not wish to draw the cover to him after this victory on the wire against the Emmentalois.
This winning goal scored in the 56th minute could be expensive at the time of the final count. We hardly dare imagine the reactions if the LHC had not won this crucial match against Langnau on Tuesday …
This goal was very important at this time of the game. It allowed us to bring back the three points. But you know, hockey is a team game and it doesn’t matter in the end who scores the goals. The important thing is victory.
Lausanne had a good first period but died out after a few minutes, before finding the solution at the end of the match. What happened?
I find that we have delivered a solid part. There was a lot of solidarity in our ranks, we saw guys blocking shots. We were good. In the second period, the “momentum” changed sides and Langnau had good sequences. But I wouldn’t say that we were in trouble even if the number of shots fired was unfavorable to us. My feeling is that we didn’t give them a lot of first-rate chances.
Lausanne is still not officially qualified for the play-off. How are you going to approach these next two matches?
The suspense is complete and we have no choice but to fight until the end. Friday in Geneva, Saturday against Bern. We should go all the way, with the right frame of mind.
