Record crowd in Quebec City watches Canada fall to France in men's Volleyball Nations League
Social Sharing The fans broke a record, but Canada came up just short in men's Volleyball National League action on Saturday at Centre Videotron in Quebec City. More than 12,030 spectators watched Canada fall to France 3-2 in the best-of-five match, including the tense 15-6 tiebreaker. The fan count is the largest audience the Canadian senior men's team has entertained on home soil, and is a VNL North American record. Brodie Hofer and Xander Wassenaar Ketrzynski led the scoring for Canada with 15 points apiece. France's captain Trevor Clevenot, part of the Paris 2024 gold-medal winning team, led all scorers with 24 points.

"We played a pretty good solid base level but that's not good enough against France. "[Trevor] Clevenot kind of ran away with it in the end and he's a really good player, so credit to him, but we should be doing a better job against his service pressure ... I'm proud of the guys. Lots of our guys have never played in front of crowd like that so it was amazing." France, which won the VNL title last year, led overall in attack points (72-67), blocks (8-4) and made a couple fewer errors. Canada led in aces 5-2. Canada's head coach Dan Lewis said: "I'm extremely proud of the guys, they never quit and they are growing with every game. We need a good start in the fifth and make better choices. But it's great that we're learning to execute at a higher level on a regular basis. I'm super proud."

So far in the playoffs, Pickard has a record of seven wins and no losses. He's been the hero, coming in when the Oilers were down by three and leading the team to a Game 4 historic win, the first time since 1919 a team had been down by three goals in a Stanley Cup Final and come back to win the game.

And from Tony Brar of Oilers TV: EDM lines – Saturday Morning Skate: RNH – McDavid – Brown Podkolzin – Draisaitl – Perry Skinner – Henrique – Frederic Kane – Janmark – Arvidsson • Kapanen, Ryan, Jones Ekholm – Walman Nurse – Stecher Kulak – Bouchard • Klingberg, Emberson, Dineen Pickard Skinner And from ESPN's Greg Wyshynski: 'Good Edmonton Oilers stat: Teams that start at home in a best-of-7 SCF and are tied 2-2 have won 77% of series. Bad Oilers stat: Time leading in this series is FLA 149:37 vs. EDM 33:51.' My take 1. Arvidsson has the second highest points per 60 at 5-on-5 of any Oilers forward in the 2025 playoffs after Connor McDavid. He also scored a big goal in Game One. Kapanen's game had dropped off a bit in terms of his physicality. And fresh legs and hyper-motivated players seem to work well for the Oilers in the playoffs. Arvidsson is also a better, less chaotic defender than Kapanen. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. I like Arvidsson's insertion into the line-up. Good plan. 2. Connor Brown has been struggling since he came back from injury. He's not played well. But coach Kris Knoblauch seems to know what he's doing, correct? Perhaps this is the game Brown snaps out of it. He's certainly getting another push being put with McDavid and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins. 3. Calvin Pickard over Stuart Skinner is an obvious move. A no-brainer really. Skinner made some big saves early in Game 4 as the Panthers came out ready and the Oilers came out nervous and weak. But he could not maintain that high level until the end of the period, letting in three goals, and this after a mediocre Game 3, where he let in five goals on just 10 Grade A shots. An NHL goalie, on average, is expected to stop at least four out of five Grade A shots, and two out of three of the subset of most dangerous 5-alarm shots. Skinner has not come close enough to that mark in the Stanley Cup Final. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. According to shot quality in Game 4, you'd expect Skinner to let in 3.3 goals against Florida in the first period. He let in three. Skinner was average in Game 4, maybe a bit above average given the shot volume. According to shot quality, you'd expect Pickard to let in 2.9. He let in one. Pickard was great in Game 4. Skinner wasn't the cause of the 3-0 deficit in the first. But Pickard played a huge part in that win. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. 4. Evander Kane has been bumped down to the fourth line with Janmark and Arvidsson. Some real talent on that line, with Janmark playing strong hockey just now. Kane deserves the demotion, however, for not being in better control of his stick and taking some iffy penalties. Yes, the refs are looking out for him. But he's giving them ammunition. It's also the case that both Kane and Draisaitl can focus a bit too much on offence, leaving them open to counterattacks when they're together on the ice. I see the Oilers at their best when Kane and Draisaitl are not on the same line. 5. If Edmonton is going to win today it needs at least NHL average goaltending, but it also needs its top players, Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl and Darnell Nurse, to ramp up their defensive play. They all had weak games on defence in Game 4, all of them major culprits on goals and numerous Grade A shots against. Essentially, either through over-aggression, poor reads or inattention, they left too many attackers wide open for slot shots. They're all capable of solid defensive play, they've all done it regularly in the past, but now would be a fine time for each of them to play shut-down defence. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. 6. Adam Henrique bossed the game in his own end in Game 4, providing steadfast defensive play, anchoring a strong line with Jeff Skinner and Trent Frederic, who both had their best games of the playoffs. I wonder if we'll see this line against Florida's excellent third line? It might well work.
