Re: WHICH TEAMS SHOULD QUALIFY FOR THE PLAYOFFS?

After watching London manhandle Strathroy last night and seeing how Caledonia destroyed Fort Erie (13-2, 9-2, 16-1, 8-3) and Listowel over Guelph (7-0, 3-0, 11-4) should 8th place teams qualify for the playoffs? Is there a better way to make the playoffs more competitive? Should only the top 4 team...

Re: Race to the Finish

As far as I'm concerned Leamington has come on strong and could beat london. Not sure what's wrong in nationals land as the only time I make it there is when Chatham plays there. Chatham has showed signs of life there last 2 games beating st Thomas 5-1 and then LaSalle 7-0 tonight, not sure what ha...

So any thoughts on what the issue(s) are with the Kings? Up and down this season. A very lacklustre performance in Listowel last night except for young Kimmel in net. :?: They have the horses, but they don't have the coaching. Skill can only get you so far.

Not sure what the player's nationality has to do with it. Top 20 year olds have chance to play University hockey, especially the ones who have their post secondary schooling paid by OHL teams.

Big pickup by London on pointstreak. 4 year OHL vet Ovsjannikov. Elmira must have proved to them that having the top goalie can win you a championship

No surprise here. Saw them showcase weekend. Outplayed both St.Kitts/Elmira. Can see them winning the league this year, but not going any further with what they have in net. Looking on pointstreak, 6 goals on 26 shots against Lasalle, 3 on 20 shots against St.Mary's. Was impressed with them against ...

Re: New Rockets Coach

Campbell's seem to have a pretty good track record in junior hockey. The kid with 48 points as a rookie in C, 19 as a rookie in B on a good team. Will probably play more with the rockets' lack of offence. Seems like a no brainer. Good deal for them.

Re: Sutherland Cup Finals; London vs Elmira

I'd bet on the Falcons beating London head to head. In six or seven. Definitely not sweeping them. Even beat Listowel. But when you run in to a goalie like Reinhardt, or Furlong of the past...you need a number of special players to be able to beat him. When the Falcons got in as a wild card, and lo...

It doesn't matter to me who wins, I'm happy with either.

Almost like an exclamation point to my post above, Reinh...

Most people around here agree with his opinion on the leamington coaching hence his coaching record. This should be a good series personally I'd like to see Elmira take it.

That was the most boring game I've seen in a while. Definitely not a Conference finals game. Leamington had no energy, London wasn't any better.

Not to take anything away from Piroski, but Boler is no slouch either. To say this series is won or lost because one coach is better than the other is not fair. Sometimes it just comes down to who wants it more.
