2020 USports Playoffs

You mean Brock

Yes

 

[AdamMcg83]

Brock knocks out Windsor. The Lancers really hit the skids in the 2nd half.

EDIT - Brock not Guelph

IMO, Windsor didn't hit the skids so much in the second half, as they were overachievers based on a pretty breezy first-half schedule. They played the top three teams in the division six times after Christmas, going 1-4-1. If you flip their two forfeits in January back to wins (which they originally were), then their second-half record against the bottom half of the West was 4-0-1 in 2020.
To me, they were the fourth-best team in the conference at best, with a workhorse goaltender and not much else.

STFX, UPEI and Windsor are all eliminated.

Not surprised that Moncton won. Just seems strange with X out so quickly,

Not enough top end skill this year!

Not enough top end skill this year!

They got something like 11 or 12 guys graduating this year too.

They got something like 11 or 12 guys graduating this year too.

While that will definitely hurt they are still one of the top recruiting teams in the country.

I thought they underachieved this season. Probably because I expected Raaymakers to come in and be a solid #1. That didn't happen.

Question about Moncton. Is this the first time since 2012 that Les Aigles have won a playoff round?

They swept X in 13/14 before losing 3-1 to Acadia.

Nope, they swept X back in 2014 in the quarter finals but went on to lose 3-1 vs Acadia in the semis.

I dunno, I think their result was indicative of their talent level this year.

While I also expected Raaymakers to have a better year, their defensive zone play was horrendous this year IMO. They have some good offensive defenseman but they could use some solid defensive-minded D-man.

Peddle is going to need a big recruiting year to get them back to their 2016-2018 level.

This is nuts! Vic Findlay just reported that Guelph captain and OUA scoring champion Mikkel Aagaard is signing a deal in Germany, effective immediately. He did not play in today's game 2, which Guelph won 6-3 to force a game 3.

 

[RED ARMY EAST]

McGill loses in overtime to the Stingers, forcing game 3. IMO, Concordia was the better team last night.
Toronto vs Western. Will the Blue's season continue?
Mount Royal vs UBC. Can UBC win another road game??

I don’t even know how to comment on this situation without sounding rude. Therefore, I won’t comment

 

[UNB Bruins Fan]

I find it hard to believe a similar opportunity wouldn’t have presented itself for the 2020-2021 season.

 

[AdamMcg83]

Agreed. Even if it isn't a DEL contract, you'd think a Division 2 deal was definitely there.

 

[RED ARMY EAST]

McGill and Toronto lose 1 goal games at home and are eliminated.

 

[Rob]

Those OUA fans who picked Western to upset UofT knew what they were talking about.

 

[Lakeheadfan95]

Peressini stole the show as i predicted they would only go as far as he takes them and the Aagard situation way to tell your teammates to go F*ck themselves he's a great player their is no way that opportunity wouldn't have been their next season

 

[hockeyinsiderusports]

Those OUA fans who picked Western to upset UofT knew what they were talking about.

You have to learn win in this league. Curse of 1st in West continues

 

[Lakeheadfan95]

Guelph eliminates Laurier

 

[RED ARMY EAST]

Those OUA fans who picked Western to upset UofT knew what they were talking about.

Yup!

 

[RED ARMY EAST]

Canadawest 2'nd round is set:
Alberta vs Mount Royal in Edmonton.
Calgary vs Saskatchewan in Saskatoon

 

[hockeyinsiderusports]

2nd Rd Predictions - OUA
Brock vs Guelph - Guelph 3
Western vs Ryerson - Ryerson 2
Concordia vs Carleton- Carleton 3 but if Concordia wins, it won’t surprise me
Ottawa - Uqtr - Uqtr 3

 

[Lakeheadfan95]

I assume oua west will be

Ryerson vs Western
Guelph vs Brock

 

[Lakeheadfan95]

2nd round has been the death bed for Ryerson theast couple years curious to see if they can break the string
