OHL 2023 playoff prediction thread

[ohloutsider]

Placeholder
So time once again to start considering playoff results.
I will be posting rules in a few days but they will be the same as in past years.
I ask that you only make your predictions round by round. Much easier for me to track if it is not spread across numerous threads/pages.
Good luck!

Rules are as noted -
Entries will only be accepted up to the start of the first game of each round. If the first game for example is played on a Wednesday or Thursday even though other rounds don't start until Friday, picks for all series must be in by drop of puck by the first game in that round. I will post deadline once each round schedule is posted on the OHL website.

You will be awarded 1 point if you pick the series winner. You will be awarded 1 point if you pick the correct number of games in that series. You still get that point no matter who wins the series. First round there is a potential of 16 points. 2nd round works the same way but less available points. Only 8 available points. 3rd round 4 points. 4th round 2 points. Important to get off to a good start in the first round.
I will post the scores at the end of each round.

If you notice a mistake in my math ( happens every year) let me know and I will review it and adjust if required.

Good luck and have fun.
Any questions post so all can see or DM if you wish.

Living on the edge?

My Magic 8-ball says, “It is decidedly so.”

Greyhounds don't make playoffs, that's my prediction

True story.

 

[HF92]

True story.

It's too bad the team cant recognize this and just lose every game from here on out to get Roobroeck. LOL.

 

[ColtsNLeafs]

Kitchener and/or Owen Sound could be a team to upset someone round one, that's my prediction.

When was the last time they didn't make the playoffs?

 

[Generalsupdates]

When was the last time they didn't make the playoffs?

2020

This is the active playoff streaks (not including this season):
London: 21
Oshawa & Owen Sound: 11
Ottawa & Kitchener: 7
Mississauga & Windsor: 6
Hamilton: 5
Guelph: 4
Peterborough: 3
Barrie, Kingston & Flint: 2
Sault Ste. Marie, North Bay & Sarnia: 1
Saginaw, Sudbury, Erie & Niagara: 0

The IceDogs won't make the playoffs

 

[OMG67]

The IceDogs won't make the playoffs

That’s a pretty bold season prediction for next year!

London: 21
Oshawa & Owen Sound: 11
Ottawa & Kitchener: 7
Mississauga & Windsor: 6
Hamilton: 5
Guelph: 4
Peterborough: 3
Barrie, Kingston & Flint: 2
Sault Ste. Marie, North Bay & Sarnia: 1
Saginaw, Sudbury, Erie & Niagara: 0

I believe the modern day record for consecutive seasons making the playoffs belong to the Peterborough Petes with 27 consecutive seasons making the playoffs from 1977 through 2003. The Oshawa Generals are a close second with 23 consecutive seasons of making the playoffs from 1978 through 2000.

Wait till 10 pm Friday then revisit your prediction.

 

[OMG67]

So, what is your prediction?

Answer….

 

[ColtsNLeafs]

When I said Kitchener and Owen Sound, I actually meant Guelph lol. Guelph is looking like a real threat right now

 

[Race Dawg]

The IceDogs won't make the playoffs

Damn I was holding out some hope.....

 

[SeniorJuniorFan]

No specific predictions, just sort of a general one: in the East, at least one, and quite possibly two, of 5, 6 and 7 will win their first round series. I know, not very imaginative, but it's all I have for now.

 

[ColtsNLeafs]

Thought this was interesting enough to share. Just goes to show how incredible Clarke has been for Barrie. Also crazy Hamilton and Mississauga are ahead of Peterborough given what they all did at the deadline

 

[bobber]

That’s a pretty bold season prediction for next year!

And the year after. Talk about a demographic projection!

 

[HUSH10]

I predict Hamilton Stuns Peterborough in 7 games.

Peterborough just hasn't been able to gel since the deadline.

 

[ColtsNLeafs]

Really think it will be one of Windsor, Sarnia or Ottawa winning it all this year.

 

[ColtsNLeafs]
