Hounds depth is dangerous - Soo Greyhounds
Hounds best-of-seven series with the Guelph Storm kicks off Thursday (Mar. 28) - 7:07 p.m. at GFL Memorial Gardens
chl.ca
I don't think anyone is calling into question Guelph has a good defensive core, the issue is up front where they scored the 4th fewest in the regular season, ahead of 3 teams that didn't make the playoffs
not to mention most of their roster has a negative +/-
if we are clicking they will not be able to contain our offense.

As I said earlier, I think we just need to manage the puck. If we start cheating to create offense, Guelph might make us pay through turnovers. But if we stay disciplined, I think Guelph is going to have a hard time generating offense. It might be a more boring style of game to watch, but we should have no trouble out-chancing them as we should be able to create a lot more chances even when Guelph has numbers back.
It hasn't been touched on much from what I can see, but is the loss of Gillespie going to really hamper Guelph from making this a close series, or will the Hounds steam roll Slavik?
Offlay pessimistic thinking the Hounds will be swept in Round 1

Happy Playoff Gameday!! Game 1 Between the (3rd) Soo Greyhounds an (6th) Guelph Storm.
Series is set to kickoff at 7:07 tonight at the GFL Memorial Gardens. Soo's record vs the Storm this year is 3-0-1 While the Storm sit 1-3-0. Most recent meeting was at the gardens on March 8, Soo took that by a score of 3-1.
This series is the tale of an old fashioned debate.. Offense or Defense? Greyhounds are coming into the Post Season carrying 10 different 40 Point getters. While Guelph comes in with 5. Guelph comes in with a strong Blue line bolstering the big 3 of Buchinger, Allen & Romeo. Guelph is lead up front by Draft eligible London, ON Native, Jett Luchanko whos put up 74 points in his 68 Games. Braeden Bowman the overage captain for Guelph is going to be relied upon heavy at times for his experience as well as his ability to find the back of the net. Bowman lead the storm with 37 Goals this season. Charlie Paquette is an interesting player to keep an eye on as he has put up 8 Points in his previous 9 games. The Big question for the Storm is goaltending. Gillespie did not travel up North with the team, So it looks like for at least Games 1&2 We will be looking @ Slovak goalie Damian Slavik; Slavik played 23 Games has a 3.05 GAA & .891 Sv% a record of 10-6-3.
On The other side for the Hounds; they will be looking to their 85 Point man Jack Beck to continue his ways into the post season. Gavin Hayes and his experience coming over from Flint where he has had some deep play-off runs, Plus add in his 40 Points in 28 Games.. Bryce McConnell-Barker who is just under a point per game this season looks to continue his pace into this post season and help propel this team to the promise land.. aka Saginaw Michigan in May..
Greyhounds will likely turn to Schenkel in net who backstopped these same Hounds to a win against Guelph just a few weeks ago where he stopped 23 out of the 24 shots sent his way.
My prediction for this series is as follow; The series will playout tighter than what most believe- I think Guelph will be able to steal some games and play stingy enough defensively that the Soo firepower is suppressed for long stretches. I Believe if Guelph is able to take 1 of 2 on the road and bring it back to the Sleeman at 1-1 we could See Gillespie return. With that being said i think the Greyhounds are too deep upfront I believe the Soo Greyhounds will take out the Storm in 6 games.
Good luck to both teams & Both fan bases! Should Be fun!

Doubt it. I have no love for the Soo, but Namestnikov is a rat. Hope someone legally puts him through the boards.
