Well as is the case most of the time you have picked all the favourites and that is typical as they have shown all season they were better. So will there be any upsets? Well Westport looked good last night and upsets are more likely in a short series. Also Westport was only a point behind Athens in the standings and did win the season series so really would not be an upset.
I also think Richmond could upset Arnprior. Arnprior is a scoring machine but their goaltending is suspect in my mind. Richmond has a goalie that can steal a game and maybe a series. Casselman and Ottawa West will be a heck of a series as usual. Again I think as in most play offs goaltending will be the major factor and Casselman is clearly better here than West, but West has 4 strong lines and an experienced back end, so will they prevail?
But a Perth West seems likely again. Your predictions look pretty solid.

Metcalfe beats Casselman 4-2 in game one. Could this be the first upset of the playoffs?

I agree that Richmond could upset Arnprior due to the goaltending situation.. Perth is very strong and should be a force right to the end. West should go very deep and I see them as the potential finalists with Perth.
Question:
If a player turns his skate slightly to re-direct a shot from the point into the net (no kicking motion / stick off the ice, not even close to the puck), is that a goal in this league? This clearly happened during the Jets/Vikings game last week in clear view of one ref, however the ref closer to the net had his view blocked. Have it all on tape.
Oh well, that's hockey...

Looks like the bye is a disadvantage! Both Perth and West lost after the week off! Dont think they will lose the series but that first game was tough on both

If you had watched the game in Richmond the other night, you would not look down on Arnprior's goalies .Salahorkept the game close till the team woke up and scored... he stood on his head.

When he is able to keep composed he does fine in nets.
That is a great observation and a key to his game-didnt see the game but saw a few Richmond guys had penalties for goalie interference-seems they tried to get Anthony off his game and he didnt bite. He has a very unorthodox style but can change a game when he is on.

(9th) Clarence leads (1st) Ottawa West 3-0
(7th) Athens leads (2nd) Perth 2-0
(6th) Metcalfe leads (3rd) Casselman 2-1
(4th) Arnprior leads (5th) Richmond 2-0
Not over by any regard but this is definitely unexpected so far.

Clarence is up 3-0 because their goalie is playing unbelievable and stealing games. Daoust has stopped 157 out of 162 shots in three games.

It seems Richmond got Salahor off his game in game 3 as he only played first period. He did not return from dressing room after first......???? Any info out there on what happened?
Game sheet is wrong. Was at the game and Salahor played first two periods. No idea why he left, did not appear to be injured... Meyerhans started the third.
I was at the game and the game sheet is correct Salahor did not return after the first period. The rumor is he got kicked in the head from Hickie when he was going to the net in the first period. It's clear the plan is to get in the blue paint a HF playoff special.
Both teams have been driving the net hard. With the new rule surrounding Goalie interference, intentionally running the tender without serious consequences, is a thing of the past. It has been a very even series so far and if not for Salohor and a bit of puck luck in game 2 it could easily now be 2-1 Richmond. Big game today for both teams. Perth and OW both facing possible elimination today...... Crazy Playoffs so far. Prediction: IMO Whoever come out of the Pachers/Royals series, may well be the favorite to win it all this year. Good luck to all teams in the balance of the PO's.
The Brockville Reorder claims the Flyers have been sold to the Kings and will be moving to Cobden.
Good on you Richmond,,,nice to knock off a team like Arnprior ,,see if big bear makes excuses again.
