OHL thread....

Wow, what a heartbreaker for the Battalion tonight. They gave up two goals to the Storm in the last 30 seconds to turn a 3-2 lead into a 4-3 loss. Funny - Guelph is up 2-1 in the final now, but both of their wins came after trailing in the 3rd in both games. The first two went to OT, this one essentially was in OT. A lot closer than I had expected, so far.

Yes it has been a lot closer than most people would have thought so credit to North Bay. I'm a big Storm fan so was quite excited watching the comeback tonight! Jake Smith stood on his head for the Battalion as the shots were 45-26 Guelph (apparently not good enough for the North Bay broadcasters who didn't have him in the 3 star selections...not sure what game they were watching!)

I honestly thought North Bay was the better team in Games 1&2, but tonight Guelph played their best game and deserved the win despite the last minute heroics. North Bay was 8-1 at home in the playoffs prior to this game so needless to say I'm quite happy the Storm took back home ice advantage.

GO STORM GO!!!
 
Guelph trounced North Bay last night 10-1, to take a commanding 3 games to 1 lead in the series. Finn got one as well.
 
That blowout win for Guelph was inevitable - I had expected it in game 2 or 3, to be honest with you.

I would have been rooting for Guelph all the way, but I am a North Bay fan. Disappointed if it ends in five, but not too unhappy about Guelph winning either. :)
 
It's great to see a smaller market like North Bay have a deep playoff run. Even more so for the fans who had been 11 seasons without the OHL.
 
I was at that game and Guelph surely trounced North Bay .The most of the fans in North Bay are proud what Battalions accomplish so far in the playoffs.I don't know if the team was tired or Guelph found another gear it was definitely a lop sided game, hopefully it's a closer game tonight

Born in Guelph. Spent my summers in North Bay growing up. Like both teams, but had to go with Guelph.

Guelph wins!!! Finn looked really good holding a cup above his head...
 
I was at Game 5 last night and it was awesome! North Bay looked like they might take the series back north up 3-1, but the Storm again managed to come back late and win the game. Over 5000 loud fans at the rink made for a fun atmosphere. Hats off to the Battalion fans, you guys had a great season and have nothing to be ashamed of.
3rd OHL championship and 5th trip to the Memorial Cup for the Guelph Storm.

GO STORM GO!!!
 
Storm are waiting in the Memorial Cup final for the winner of tonight's Edmonton - Val D'Or matchup. The Foreurs tied it up in the last minute of the 3rd, sending it to overtime!
 
Guessing Potvin or LK can answer this, I was looking through some of the recent OHL trades and saw that the Knights moved Michael McCarron to Oshawa. London has the 4th best record but they're shipping out their 4th best scorer for picks, seems odd.

Knights probably think they can't seriously compete for a championship this season so got rid of a player who wouldn't be back next season for Pu, Oshawa's 1st rounder last season.

Pretty much this.  Their goaltending is atrocious and their defense wasn't built to win 7 games series against the top teams in the OHL.  To be honest losing Mermis was a much bigger blow to the Knights than McCarron.

It's entirely up to Domi on whether he gets shipped to a contender too.
 
Oshawa beats North Bay 1-0 in overtime to tie their semifinal series at 1-1 going back to North Bay. In the other series, Erie leads SSM 3-2 in game 3 with the series tied 1-1.

That is an absolutely stacked SSM team.  McDavid is making them look very average.

McDavid makes everyone look average.  Soo still dominates the games, just haven't got the bounces.  Outshot Erie 10-2 in the first and trailed 2-0.  They scored on their 3rd shot too.

Soo is much better, but it's a playoff series.  Best team might not win.
 
Man the first 3 games of the Soo-Erie series are frustrating as a Greyhounds fan.  They've territorial-ly dominated but are down 2-1 in the series.

Erie has 12 goals in the series - McDavid has a goal or an assist on 9 of them (and one of the goals he didn't assist on was an empty-netter).  The Soo has basically shut out almost the entire Erie team but one player, and are still losing because of how good that one player is.
