HC Franches-Montagnes still believes in it!

Who would have believed it two weeks ago? Three victories later, before the last day of the regular MyHockey League championship, HC Franches-Montagnes is still in the running to qualify for the play-offs. To afford the right to dream, the promoted Taignon won 4-1 at Martigny on Wednesday during the penultimate day. Mathieu Brahier (28)^e), Clement Stemer (30^e), Nils Sejejs (38^e) and Nelo Surdez (60^e) were able to respond to the opener of the Valaisans at the start of the second third and reverse a badly embarked situation. Thanks to losing Guin, currently 8^efacing Thun, the HCFM, still 10^e, is just two points from the last qualifying spot for the play-offs. Everything will therefore be played remotely on Saturday during the last day: the Francs-Montagnards will go to Lyss (5:30 p.m.) while Guin will receive the 7th Huttwil (already qualified). Bülach, inserted in 9th place, will also try to win the precious sesame against Seewen (5^e and already qualified). /jpi
