CHL Playoff Thread

[Ogopogo*]

for those that get it ....RD & EDM are on tv - Shaw......now.

2-1 RD....10 minutes left in the 2nd.

After a shaky start, the Oil Kings have started to play very well. 2-2 after the second.

 

[Ogopogo*]

Nugent-Hopkins has taken over : 2 goals, 2 assists

Red Deer leads 5-3 late in the 3rd.

RNH didn't do anything spectacular for about 50 minutes then, all of a sudden, he exploded. Great player.

 

[Eech]

RNH is unbelievable. Really stepped up when his team needed him.

 

[Belamorte]

Just got back from the Rockets - Cougars game. Rockets win 4-1. Not sure what happened or is wrong with Connolly but he only played 3 or 4 shifts in the first then was not on the bench for the rest of the game? They really missed him as it was very close, with the edge to PG until the last 10 mins.

 

[TheGroceryStick]

just got back from the Gens vs Kingston game. gens looked really good and beat the fronts 10-1. After going down 1-0, they got there act together and scored 10 unanswered goals. nearly everyone recorded a pt. Thomas with another great game for the stats sheet.

Yeah, and he only had like 2 minutes in the third lol, 2g/2a in essentially 2 periods of play.

How was Marincin, if you don't mind?

He was impressive. Good puck mover and skater, between him and the goalie for PGs best player tonight.

Just got home from the game. Cudos to Edmonton for dominating over half of this game, the Rebels were dominant in the first and last ten minutes, but other than that, I think Edmonton had the edge. Nugent Hopkins was a beast when it counted, he is so awesome.

 

[R S]

Listened to the first half of that Rebels-Oil Kings game. Sounded like a great one.

Also not really shocked that Brandon won in Medicine Hat and MJ won in Kootenay.


Blades-Raiders get underway tonight!

 

[GM17*]

Holy crap, Wedgewood faced 51 shots, saving 46! As Plymouth upset-ted Rangers 6-5 in game 1.

Devils have no replacement for Brodeur

 

[TheGroceryStick]

Haha, yeah....they basically played the 4th line all 3rd period. At one point it looked like they kept Emerson Clark out on the 5-3 for a good 5mins.
Kingston got quite dirty. It wasnt like the gens ran up the score either. Most of the goals were ones that could have been saved. Gudbrandson looked out of place all game. Doherty was trying too hard to rush the puck up himself. Spooner looked like he had no linemates to help out, when he was threatening

 

[JeromeHP]

So you're expecting all eight top seeds to win? Not only that, but by your post it looks like you're not expecting any upsets at all in the upcoming QMJHL playoffs. Do you think only the top four teams have a realistic chance at reaching the finals?

i dont expect any upset but Victoriaville could stll beat bathurst as they did last night. and Lew/mon and shaw/pei are really close series. when you pick a team to win in 7gms that means your not too sure about your prediction. I just think Saint-John is too strong for the rest of the league as far as my overall prediction. i don't see much upset

Btw, im not sure Mtl had 2000 fans combined for the first 2 game of their series againts Halifax...wich is sad

It's pretty bad, but the attendance seemed weak all across the board. It should heat up a bit once the blowouts are over and the second round begins. And it's not just in the Q either:

I take it Mississauga hasn't yet caught Memorial Cup fever?

Wow.

The Blades get critisized for bad crowd (even though they average over 5000 for the regular season), but that's just pathetic.

Saskatoon like expecting around 9000 tonight.

 

[SergeConstantin74]

Val D'Or vs Quebec (QC wins 7-2)

Mikael Tam (lucky him!) gets hit from behind at 3:00.

I wasn't going to comment on this the other night, but ugh, sad. Hopefully it picks up as they (likely) go deeper.

Will be watching Ottawa/Sudbury in a few, and then flip between the others tonight.

 

[Jamie Benn]

Wow, just noticed 2013 Eligible defenseman Ryan Pulock had 4 points in the win vs Medicine Hat.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Ottawa-Sudbury game is nuts!

 

[TheNorth]

And Sudbury wins game 1 in OT 8-7

 

[Juxtaposer]

And Sudbury wins game 1 in OT 8-7

Sgarbossa with 1g 5a (4 primary) +6. Damn.

 

[Bjorn Le]

Kitchener losses again in another pitiful loss. Won't be surprised if Kitchener is swept.

 

[JeromeHP]

Saint-John has only outscored Cape-Breton 17-1 in the first 2 game of the series...

Olivier Roy is choking again. Bathurst loss its first 2 game at home againts Victo. Roy stats are 5.89gaa & 762sv% ........and victo is far from a dominant team. can't believe i pick bathurst in 5 game in this series lol

Gatineau won in OT, Quebec, Lewiston, Drumondville & PEI all won also

from friday game, 7 players were suspended from different incident.

Best 16 year old Brandon has seen since Wade Redden(he actually broke Reddens team record for points by a 16 year old dman).

Brandon is also a team that nobody wants to face in the playoffs. 16-8-1 in their last 25 games and coming in as a 6 seed.

As a Tigres fan I can say that I'm really surprised that they won the first two games. Last year, Poulin was stealing game for us, but this year our goaltending is suspect at best. Luckily, Danault is playing great.
