Hidious

À bout de souffle summer tournament. (Pros Inside)

Recommended Posts

So I barely touch my computer in the summer and i haven't posted in the forums for a while but i've got something pretty cool to chat about.

I live in a small city in Québec called Magog, about an hour and a half from montréal and each summer we have a local hockey event called "A bout de souffle" tournament where pros and amateurs play non-stop hockey to get back in shape for the season. This year's tournament was kind of special because someguy named Sidney Crosby was in. His team (a team has 6 players and a goalie) was by far the best with guys like Patrice Bergeron, Yanic Perrault, Francis Bouillon, Daniel Corso, Mathieu Garon. Other pros were Stéphane Robidas, Jocelyn Thibault, Steve Bernier, Marc-André Fleury, Pierre-Marc Bouchard, Pascal Dupuis, Stéphane Veilleux and André Roy (funny guy). Oh, and i almost forgot young defensemen Jack Jonhson who won the shootout contest!

Note that Bouillon was on the player list but i did not see him.

I really enjoyed the show even if the guys were not giving 100% because there's only one man on the bench and the game never stops.

I've got some cool pics i'll have to upload but for now, here's a teaser:

That's Mathieu Garon from the Kings in the back.

Edit: Pics are up! http://www.geocities.com/snowboardingfr/Hockey/

Edit again: I've uploaded the pics to imageshack because of bad geocities bandwith, go to page 2 for the snapshots.

So you played in this tournament? Damn, i would have loved to see you in action! You're probably a pretty solid player if you played in the pro's categorie. I was suppose to play in the amateur one in my friend's team but i've got some knee problems. Anyways, they sucked and i would have been no help for them: i doubt i was in shape for this kind of tournament.

And cobrAA, why would they do that in Montréal with all the medias and stuff when they can relax and have fun in a small and peaceful city like Magog :lol: It's pretty impressive to see Hummers and neat cars entering the parking lot ...

What days were you there Hidious? I was playing on tuesday at 5PM and thursday at 6PM and 10PM, the game we lost.

Just started to watch pictures: I just saw Alex Bourret, I knew he played some games with the pros but I didn't knew he played in the skills competition too.

Crosby's team had to be crazy out there...

Bouret is going to be a bust in ATL...

It's hard to say, he has a great wrister, sees the ice well, handle the puck well, he's 220 and he hits really hard but when we played his team, he was slow and wasn't looking like a first round pick at all.

I played against Bourret when i was younger and he gave me a concussion. He'S a good player but he's a lot too slow IMO.

Kovy, i could only be there saturday for a couple of games and the skill competition. Unbelievable how hard and precise the shots are. Fleury was kind of pissed of.

Sorry for my geocities site. It has a 4.2mb transfer limit per hour so after 3 or 4 people have seen the pick, you gotta wait for the next hour. Can anybody host em? I think my best shot overall is this one of bergeron: http://www.geocities.com/snowboardingfr/Hockey/bergeron.jpg
