Laval Xtreme prepare to face the Blackhawks in the 1st round of the 2006 playoffs

LAVAL (Ticker) - The Laval Xtreme are set to face the Blackhawks in the 1st round of this summer's PTM playoffs. The team will make a couple of changes in their lineup. George Psiharis will be Bryan Rubino's partner on defence, while Theo Sourias will be the team's 6th winger. Vince Colletti and Terry Dimitrakis will not play in this game. Goaltender Nikitas Fotakis will be counted on to be on the top of his game.

Laval Xtreme put a nice end to their first regular season by beating the former 1st-place Blues 7-6. Goaltender Nikitas Fotakis shinned, showed his capabilities and played one of his best games of the season. Despite allowing 6 goals he made the right saves at the most important times. Defenceman Taki Maroulis was unbelievable for team Xtreme finishing the night with 3 assists and installing a “Do Not Enter” sign at his own blue line. The hot streak continues for George Psiharis as he scored one of the goals. After a slow start to the season, Psiharis is becoming the star forward he once was and even better! Louis-Colin Fleury and Peter Sidhom had very solid performances scoring 2 goals each. Steph Botsis also scored for team Xtreme. In other news, current Punishers' star forward, Derek Bassette was in the Xtreme lineup when they played D-Natural in a friendly game this past Thursday. He remains the only official signing for next season's roster.
