Best shot at the 2013 Memorial Cup?

[SPORTSMANIAC]

Tough to say for 2013.

I think Shawinigan has a darn good chance at making it to the finals this upcoming season.

Mark.
My.
Words.

Are you talking about the Memorial Cup finals or the Memorial Cup in general?

 

[BLBarmada]

Are you talking about the Memorial Cup finals or the Memorial Cup in general?

If he talking about Mem cup finals then I strongly disagree, SJ are getting all but Huberdeau back, with a 60% chance of Huberdeau.

London and Edmonton have good chances.

From the dub it'll likely be Portland. Edmonton, however, has a really deep team this year and will put up a good fight. Plymouth looks good from the O.

We're talking about 2013 though. Portland will lose a lot of talent. Edmonton's year is next year. They've got a lot of talented 93s.

Plymouth is incredibly deep, and they've got two really key 92s that will be back for an overage year (three if Heard goes back). They have a bunch of talented 93s that will be back, and a 94 built for a long playoff run.

Edmonton would but the Oilers are using Rexall as well so I think Tri-City, Kelowna or Medicine Hat would be my guess.

Edit: My bad, I thought you meant hosting it. I'm gonna say Edmonton wins it, they'll be stacked and their full of Winners.

WHL: Edmonton
OHL: Peterbrough
QMJHL: Halifax
Host: Who Knows

It's already down to 3 teams in regards to the bidding for 2013. The final 3 are:

Saskatoon
Red Deer
Kelowna

Peterborough? No chance.

 

[tsnTpoint]

If RNH gets sent down, I think that Red Deer has a serious shot at it.

RNH won't be with the team for the 2013 playoffs.

 

[Kevin Malone]

Peterborough? No chance.

Yeah, don't know how in the world he came up with that one.

I would never count out Windsor. The were supposed to peak in 2010 and ended up winning it all in 09.and 10.

They're hosting.

 

[Granlund2Pulkkinen*]

Halifax's top offensive line is as explosive as it comes.

 

[Tobi Wan Kenobi]

Besides Yakupov and Galchenyuk, who are Sarnia's other big guns?

MacKinnon, Frk, Ciampini, Drouin, Ashley, Ryan is a pretty impressive collection. Not saying it can't be beat, and some of those guys still have development to do to prove themselves, but a pretty high ceiling group.

Your forgetting about Grenier. The 6'5 monster with skill.

This thread is talking about the 2013 Memorial Cup. Grenier is 20 this year, so he'll be gone.

 

[KingJet*]

Peterborough? No chance.

... Nik Ritchie, Matt Puempel and Slater Koekkoek... I don't know thats pretty terrible

It's already down to 3 teams in regards to the bidding for 2013. The final 3 are:

Saskatoon
Red Deer
Kelowna

Saskatoon and Red Deer won't be contenders in 2013, Kelowna probably will though.

Now that the season has started, who do you guys think are the favorites to come out of each league this season?/who do you think will be the 2013 memorial cup champs?

EDIT:

My predictions:

QMJHL: Halifax
OHL: London
WHL: Edmonton

 

[Hawkaholic]

I would be shocked if London didnt win the OHL. They won it last year and have only got better since then. if the goaltending holds up, they are the favourites to come out of the O.

 

[Jason MacIsaac]

I will go with Quebec, I love their goaltending and offense (both primary and secondary). Culkin will be one of the better defensmen in the league as well.

Grigorenko
Erne
Duclair
Sorensen
Shaw

That is tremendous offense

 

[Bjorn Le]

This really isn't true.

Puempel was traded to Kitchener for a third liner and two second round picks months ago. But of course you couldn't know this last year.

I'd agree with these predictions, but Québec is also really strong.

I haven't watched them yet this season, but just from their results so far, it looks like the Blades have some work to do.

Notice the date of that post.

I don't know what happened, I always do this, I always check, I read the post, saw 2012, posted, then read the thread and wondered why all the dates changed to 2011...

It happens when you work all day and make your first post.

 

[tony d]

London, Halifax and Edmonton are my 3 choices to represent their leagues at the Memorial Cup.

 

[I am the Liquor]

Quebec
London
Edmonton

That is who will be there along with Saskatoon.

Outside chance for Portland, Kamloops and Calgary in the west, Halifax in the Q.

Nobody is beating London in Ontario.

 

[RipCityPuckers]

QMJHL - Halifax
OHL - Niagara (love London's team but gotta throw one upset in with my picks haha
WHL - Edmonton
