6 points still up for grabs. It is very close and almost anyone's to win.
Again as usual don't be afraid to let me know if you see an error. The old brain fails me occasionally but I can't remember why, lol.

Good luck in round 3

Deadline will be 7pm Friday for entries.

Well time for me to take the plunge. Now my picks may not reflect who I think will win or the amount of games but if you don't pick away from others you just stay with the pack . The only way I have a shot is to pick outside of the box and throw a little vodo on the games! Be safe.

North Bay in 7
Saginaw in 6

Prediction entries for round 3 are now closed.

Don't see either Oshawa or North Bay taking out London with London having home ice. It is a fair drive to NB so that might be a factor. Either way someone has to win to get back to Saginaw.

I didn’t get fair trip to NB might be a factor for London at first. I guess bus legs would give NB a chance to steal a game at home?
If Romani can play, London may be in a big hole by the time Lawrence and Sim are in the line-up.

Yes that is what I meant. Advantage NB as they are use to the travel.

Edit - about 5 hours drive.

Oshawa to London about 3.5 hours.

How long by plane?…….

Well if it's Air Canada 3 days!

 

[Northern Maroon]

Will TSN want to go to North Bay, or will the final stay on the 401???

 

[rangersblues]

London's in 5

Is TSN carrying the finals?

Yes, they have all 3 league finals. Not sure they will show all with cross over dates etc?

 

[OMG67]

Well played!

They’d charter a private jet to go back and forth if they feel it would make a difference. I know the distance is much longer but Ottawa did it in 2001 vs Plymouth. I assume others have done it for the longer trips. I am not sure 5-6 hours is enough to make that switch but London has the coin to do it and the playoff revenue to easily pay for it.

London wins finals in six.
