And nothing against the western Fair arena its a nice complex but it has to be the most boring place to watch a game, no atmosphere or anything. Very strange. Hopefully a much better game tonight, must win in my eyes for the Flyers.
Again, I guess you have to be on the winning team to appreciate it.

The difference is London and Leamington don't go over the salary cap the way Caledonia does.

I agree, those Strathroy Rocket games were just a thrill ride of excitement huh...I hope you paid for your ticket, I'd hate to see you get a freebie and than trash the conference finals like that.

Gee,wonder why Homes didn't go back to the vairs this year.Speaking to Western people for a few years now, they seem to think London's been playing that game a lot longer than the Vairs have.

Oh I get it now, it's Gomes not Homes as in Nathan Gomes...as far as I know he is living in London and attending Western...it's not like London has been able to recruit players with 100-200 games of OHL experience...how is Caledonia able to do that?

It's really a shame... the Queen doesn't scout, coach, or have anything to offer the on ice product of the hockey team she is somehow associated with, but will trash a game that she would never be able to see in Strathroy. If you don't like it RG, then don't go to the games.

Pretty sure this thread isn't about me, so how about you guys congratulate London on their 4th Conference Championship in 6 years.

It's okay Queenie,he wasn't there to see a team that didn't look like they were trying.Being who you are, it maybe better not say that in the future. Leave the idiocy to me.

Are you kidding? You make a couple of ignorant posts about how boring the game was, saying you were looking around in the crowd instead of watching, give your head a shake!

You could have sent some congratulations out instead of insulting the London Nationals and Leamington Flyers yourself.

Big deal, I thought Game 3 was boring, I wasn't the only one in the arena that thought that, I'm just the first one to voice that on here. The whole point of this forum is to give insight on what we think of the games we attend, and shocker! Not all of them are edge of your seat excitement.

And since you brought up my Rockets, yes not all our games were exciting this year. I told the boys on multiple occasions that I was running out of different ways to say the other team had scored, so maybe they could mix in a win.

Congratulations to London and Leamington on playing an incredibly boring hockey game. Is that better?

What do you mean?

First round stats were not included in calculating the wild card and Sutherland Cup seeding, meaning records and goal differential. Goalie and scoring stats aren't involved.
