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.

Well done Sarnia, proving me wrong and finally getting out of the first round.

Went 7 for 8 on predicting the correct winner, didn't do very well getting the number of games correctly (only the SSM sweep).

2nd round:

SSM over OS in 7.
SAR over KIT in 5.

HAM over NIAG in 7.
KGN over BAR in 6.

Well here goes - fun time of year.

East-
Hamilton-Ottawa - Hamilton in 5
Barrie - Mississauga - Barrie in 5
Kingston- North Bay - Kingston in 7
Niagara - Oshawa - Niagara in 7

West -
Sault St Marie - Saginaw - Soo in 4
Kitchener - Guelph - Kitchener in 6
Sarnia - Windsor - Sarnia in 5
Owen Sound - London - OS in 6

The Windsor win is probably wishful thinking on my part. As usual the 4-5 match ups in both conferences will be the fun ones to watch, they could go either way.
Just hope the refs stay out of the way and don't take games away from teams, I'm sure there will be the odd controversial play or goal this year - there always is.

Well 8 for 8 and 3 correct games won. Don't think I will have the same success in round 2. For me I find the teams too close this year to really get a warm and fuzzy with the 2nd round picks. East for me is a tough one to call and Sarina/Kitchener will also be close. So with no confidence at all here are my picks.

East
Barrie - Kingston - Barrie in 7
Hamilton - Niagara - Hamilton in 7

West
Soo - Owen Sound - Soo in 6
Kitchener - Sarnia - Kitchener in 6

I look at home ice being the advantage in the east and goaltending being the advantage in the west combined with home ice. With Owen Sound being a tough place to play and some tough travel for both teams I could see the Soo dropping 1 or 2 games there. Having watched both Fazio and Culina - Fazio in the first round of the playoffs and Culina used to play in Windsor I give the edge to Culina although it is not a large margin. This is always when the fun hockey starts and as usual I have to watch from my couch.

:( The rest of the league is pretty interesting, you know! The Soo won a bunch of games, Kingston, Sarnia, and Hamilton all won playoff series, Barrie is good again already. OS looks like the juggernaut we all thought they'd be. Even Kitchener Frankensteined together a weird team of ex-Spitfire Mem Cup winners. You're lucky you cheer for a team who wins all the time!

HAM in 6 - No more pseudo-Cinderella runs for flawed IceDogs teams, please!
KGN in 6 - I think both teams are worse than we think.

SSM in 5 - Revenge alert!
SAR in 6 - Long-simmering revenge alert!

Really pulling for Kingston and Hamilton. I will cheer for Kitchener, obviously, but if they must lose, Sarnia deserves a deep run. As for OS/SSM, I know we're all supposed to pull for the team that hasn't won a championship since the George H. W. Bush administration (seriously, what the heck?!), but Owen Sound is just so darn lovable. Plus they have upset cred. I dunno!

I haven't had time to tally last round yet, but I will soon.
