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 like what PP is smoking, but I don’t partake anymore.....

I always pick an upset from each side in the 1st round...hense the reason I never do well at these things

 

[rangersblues]

Hamilton in 5
Missy in 6
Kingston in 6
Niagara in 6

Soo in 3
Kitchener in 5
Sarnia in 5
OS in 7

Lol - Like my March Madness bracket....

 

[AttackSound]

Soo in 4

Kitchener and Guelph can go either way but I'd say Rangers in 5

Sarnia sweep in 4 over Windsor

Owen Sound and London Attack in 6

The east I'm not too familiar with so I won't bother trying to figure out the series in games.

 

[ForestCityHky]

Hamilton defeats Ottawa in 5
Barrie defeats Mississauga in 6
Kingston defeats North Bay in 5
Niagara defeats Oshawa in 7

Soo defeats Saginaw in 5
Kitchener defeats Guelph in 6
Sarnia defeats Windsor in 6
London defeats Owen Sound in 7

 

[ScoresFromCentre]

Hamilton 80/20 over Ottawa -> HAM in 5
Barrie 60/40 over Missy -> BAR in 6
Kingston 75/25 over NB -> KGN in 5
Niagara 50/50 over Oshawa -> NIA in 7

Soo 98/2 over Saginaw -> SSM in 4
Kitchener 80/20 over Guelph -> KIT in 5
Sarnia 80/20 over Windsor -> SAR in 5
OS 55/45 over London -> OS in 7

I don't pick upsets for the sake of picking upsets, because I'd rather look smart all of the time than brilliant some of the time.

 

[nelli27]

ROUND 1:

East:
Hamilton OVER Ottawa (in 6)
Barrie OVER Missie (in 6)

[HarrynLloyd]

SSM over SAG in 5
KIT over GUE in 5
SAR over WSR in 7
OS over LDN in 6

NIAG over OSH in 6
HAM over OTT in 4
BAR over MISS in 6
KGN over NB in 5

 

[EON]

SSM over SAG in 4: The Greyhounds are simply too much for Saginaw, who might steal 1 game but that's it.
KIT over GUE in 5: Guelph is on the upswing but Kitchener is too deep.
WSR over SAR in 7: DiPietro steals some games for Windsor as Sarnia's 1st round woes continue
OS over LDN in 6: Owen Sound is SSM's biggest threat in the west imo, goaltending is shaky but they dominate possession

HAM over OTT in 4
KGN over NB in 6
BAR over MISS in 7
NIAG over OSH in 7

Don't know enough about the East to comment.

Will be interesting in the Barrie-Miss series to see how Mr Branch rules on the Foget and Svechnikov match penalties (both head contact) on the last day of reg season.

If that happens I'll never renew my season tickets again! I expect DiPietro to steal 1 game, MAYBE 2 for Windsor. Sarnia is way to deep to screw up in the 1st round this year.

Here's the Svechnikov penalty

 

[Generalsupdates]

And here's the Foget hit, which I think will/should come with 2 games at least

 

[OHL insideout]

4 games each for the above hits!!!
On OHL site.
Looks like the DB and Co. are not worried about it being playoff time.

 

[EvenSteven]

Foget is lucky. Historically, that's a lot steeper suspension for a comparable hit.

Svetch? Time served IMO.
