2023 - 2024 OHL playoff prediction thread

[ohloutsider]

One series left to be decided. With a chance it might go 7 games. Going to make a tight turn around with the second round starting Thursday. Would be less than 24 hrs in-between so for those that continue be prepared to make predictions either Wednesday or Thursday for the second round.

It will be London- Kitchener/Erie so anyone picking London to beat either team you could go ahead and make your predictions now. Be safe.

 

[HUSH10]

East
Oshawa vs Ottawa = Oshawa in 7
North Bay vs Sudbury = North Bay in 6

West
London vs Kitchener/Erie = London in 6 vs Kitchener/London in 5 vs Erie
Saginaw vs Soo = Saginaw in 7

 

[190 is almost 206]

Oshawa 6 - overcame a slight scare
Sudbury 5 - North Bay too depleted

London 5 - London too good for eithe team
Saginaw 6 - this series, unlike the regular season sees 5 straight home team wins. Saginaw breaks the trend with a game 6 road win

Sudbury in 6: they seem to be doing what the Petes did last year. Maybe finally putting it together in the playoffs?

Ottawa in 7: I think Brantford and Oshawa are very similar. Teams that finished well but are a year away from being true championship threats. Will give slight edge to 67’s.

London in 5: think both Kitchener and Erie are using their energy on round 1. Easy series for the knights.

Saginaw in 6: if these guys weren’t in the same conference, don’t think anyone would bat an eye if this was for the title. Could easily go 7. I’ll take a hopeful repeat of 2019. Who knows though.

This is gonna be a wild 2nd round. Rivalry round with each series having some bitterness. Gotta love that. I think 3 of them can go either way.

LDN-KIT ~~ LDN in 5
SAG-SSM ~~ SAG in 7

OSH-OTT ~~ OSH in 7
NB-SBY ~~ SBY in 6 (wish I knew Divincentis/Romani health situations)
