Kitchener hangs on for game 1 win
4-2 tonight, despite dominating in shots on goal it was a 3-2 game with an empty net goal.
Kitchener has struggled historically in 1st round series, this could get interesting.

Re: Kitchener hangs on for game 1 win
They're a generally "soft" team with high end offense. I have my reserves about their ability to grind it out. It's why I really think Listy or Stratford are the teams to beat in the MidWest.

Re: Kitchener hangs on for game 1 win
Serious question, I'm not looking for an argument, I'm just wondering how you figure that Kitchener has struggled historically in the first round. I went back the last 3 years and they played Listowel, defeating them 4-2, 4-0, and 4-1.

Re: Kitchener hangs on for game 1 win
Because they've lost games to bottom teams in the 1st round before. I didn't mean that they lose in the 1st round, just that winning the round has never seemed to come easy for them the last few years.RocketGirl wrote:Serious question, I'm not looking for an argument, I'm just wondering how you figure that Kitchener has struggled historically in the first round.

The top teams usually tend to get through round 1 without much trouble. But it always seems like Kitchener is in a tough series in round 1.
Maybe its just me, cheers RG.

Re: Kitchener hangs on for game 1 win
Well, sort of... The 1st round always seems to take more out of them than it should. Most top teams just coast through round 1. But Kitchener always seems to get a run for their money.jfvoll wrote:I think he meant 2nd round
Maybe that has them worn down for round 2 more than they should be... I can't put my finger on it, but they always seem to have a lot of talent, but end up playing like a team that's average in the playoffs. Maybe its their opponents, maybe they just get pumped to play them...

Another close game
6-4 tonight with another empty net goal. Kitchener might come out of this round worn out more than Stratford.

Re: Kitchener hangs on for game 1 win
The Dutchies haven't really beat up on anyone this year. All the games have been relatively close, with the exception of a 7-0, 7-1, 8-2 win here and there. They didn't have any games that went double digits.

Brantford edges Kitchener in game 3
With a big 4-3 win tonight, Brantford now trails Kitchener 2-1 in their best of seven series.
Can't say I didn't see this coming.

Re: Kitchener hangs on for game 1 win
I gotta give props to Brantford for pulling out a win yesterday, in Kitchener. Neither myself or Pete Crosby figured they'd win a game. The fact that they made the play-offs was a huge accomplishment for them.

Will Rawski made 51 saves that game. He's pretty good in my opinion and when I saw the scores from the first 2 games, I know he would be able to get them a win (despite not playing Game 1)

In my opinion, Rawski is why Brantford made the playoffs. Period.jfvoll wrote:Will Rawski made 51 saves that game. He's pretty good in my opinion and when I saw the scores from the first 2 games, I know he would be able to get them a win (despite not playing Game 1)
Every time I saw them play Loo or the Bridge... he won them the game.
