inside.''Simon Despres and Zack Phillips scored first-period goals to stake Saint John (3-1) to its early lead as the Sea Dogs became the first team from the Atlantic provinces to win the title.Riley Brace replied in the second for Mississauga (3-2), to get the enthusiastic crowd back into it.That inspired the Majors, who controlled the play until Jonathan Huberdeau converted a 2-on-1 break at 16:17 of the third to cement the Sea Dogs' first Memorial Cup title in their six-year history.Huberdeau, who had six points in four games, was named the tournament's most valuable player.DeSerres was the model of calm throughout the game, especially over the final two periods when his teammates played more not to lose than to win.Sea Dogs head coach Gerard Gallant said his squad was buoyed by the play of its over-age goaltender."He paid a price last year when he faced that good Windsor team but he learned a lot from that," Gallant said. "I thought he was calm tonight, a little too calm at times, but he was outstanding."I can't say we didn't panic because there was a lot of panic. I kept telling our guys the way they were coming at us we were going to get another goal and sure enough Huberdeau gets a chance and buries it. He didn't have a lot of chances . . . but he gets that one and that was the hockey game there.''Captain Mike Thomas said with DeSerres standing tall in goal, he never doubted the Sea Dogs would score the insurance goal."Jacob made some phenomenal saves," Thomas said. "He kept us in the game while we weren't playing our best."It was just a matter of time that (third goal) would come if we kept playing our game. That was our focus."Yet even after Huberdeau's goal, the Majors (a dismal 0-for-5 on the power play) continued to press, with DeSerres forced to make a huge stop on Devante Smith-Pelly from close in to keep it a two-goal game."He was real good tonight," Majors coach and GM Dave Cameron said of DeSerres. "That's a real good hockey team."They're well coached, they're a class organization and to beat them you have to work hard and execute, which we did to a degree, and get some luck and breaks and we didn't. We weren't able to find a way to score."The Sea Dogs, champions of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, came into the tournament as the CHL's top-ranked team and wasted little time booking their spot in the final. After opening the event with a controversial 4-3 win over St. Mike's — the winning goal came the result of a missed offside call — Saint John qualified for the title game with a 3-2 overtime victory over the Owen Sound Attack.But Saint John had a five-day layoff heading into the final, prompting questions whether the club would be rusty against Mississauga.The loss was a bitter one for Cameron and Majors captain Casey Cizikas. Cameron was the coach and Cizikas a player with the Canadian team that blew a 3-0 lead in dropping a heart-breaking 5-3 decision to Russia in the IIHF world junior gold-medal game in Buffalo, N.Y., in January.Three months later, the Majors squandered leads of 2-0 and 3-2 in dropping the Ontario Hockey League final to Owen Sound with an overtime loss in the seventh and deciding game."They say losing toughens you," Cameron said.
