Haven't McGill and Concordia met three years in a row now?
I'm surprised to see at least two OUA posters pick Western over Toronto.
**Disclaimer - I haven’t watched a second of Toronto this year so take my opinion with a grain of salt**
I can see people being weary of Toronto because they came out of nowhere this year + aren’t playoff “tested/experienced”...but they have one of the best goal differentials in the country, which leads me to believe that their record isn’t due to them getting lucky and winning a bunch of one goal games. The numbers would imply they are legit.

This is exactly why I'd pick Toronto to win.Western will go as far as Peresini takes them
This is true, but Western earned 3 of a possible 8 points in their crossover games. Toronto earned 8 of 8, so the schedule gave UofT no more than five additional points. With that adjustment, Toronto still ended the season 13 points clear of the Mustangs.1) Toronto scored a much easier crossover schedule versus the East than Western.
Toronto faced Laurentian UOIT RMC and Queens.
Western faced Carleton Ottawa and UQTR.
So the gap between them in the standings is not that big.

Predictions:
East:
Carleton over RMC in 3
Queens over UQTR in 3
Ottawa over UOIT in 3
Concordia over McGill in 3
East:
Western over Toronto in 2
Ryerson over Lakehead in 2
Guelph over Laurier in 2
Brock over Windsor in 3
I see Carleton and Guelph in the Queens Cup Final.
I noticed Aagaard wasn’t named to either OUA West all-star team...thought that was interesting.
By the way, he has played in only one game in the DEL so far, although I’m not sure if there is a reason for that (injury for example).
