It's always bothered me that so many people in Canada care about the NCAA March Madness basketball tournament but the average person seems to know a lot less about the (far superior) CHL Playoffs and Memorial Cup (obviously this is because of the dramatic single-elimination bracket format of March Madness and all the media attention it gets). I've always thought it would be fun though to fill out some sort of CHL playoff bracket but since I've never really found a good way to do it online, I decided to try creating my own for this year. Although it's a bit complicated and not the most user-friendly, there's step-by-step instructions on the website that should help. So if want to give it a try go to: memorialcupbracket.weebly.com

I don’t think this coach is up for such experiments.
the evidence seems pretty much IN .. that whatever this stiff necked admin is doing has produced a flat brew... they have basic issues unresolved like ... DO I put ze rrround peg in ze rrrround hole ?..the deeper we get into ze issue..it merely confirms my Merley observations..at the bottom line.. when its all on the table for the taking... this table won't carry the weight; as its presently designed.

I know that this team only has 16 players right now but I wish they would just bench Merkley. He has always been a detriment to this team. He is a lazy, self absorbed player who has never been nor will ever be a team player. He is all about himself. If he's not the star player, the centre of attention then he pouts. He reminds me of a 2 year old taking a temper tantrum when things don't go his way. I'm sorry but I think the best thing for this team is to just move him on. Please don't say he's just a teenager trying to find his way, at this stage he knows what's expected of him, and how to get it done. Pardon the pun but he can't just expect to skate through life getting what he wants off a silver platter.

Its like every time Merkley is on the ice Guelph is in a special teams situation- on the rare occasions he is good its like we have a power play man advantage, but unfortunately most of the time its like we are on the penalty kill down a man. Whoever is partnered with him on defence has to play like he's not there, because often he isn't.
But to suggest anything can change at this stage of the year, or for playoffs, is wishful thinking.
