I think it was $20 per round or $60 Canadian for the entire playoffs.

So like $11 American.
Cool, thanks. I was wondering if they’d have an option like that. So much better this year than previous years. Small upgrades in coverage quality across the board and major upgrades in price.

I'm going to gamble on the $60 and hope we make it to the conference finals.

The way Flint is limping into the playoffs, we will definitely be on upset alert to both both Guelph and Owen Sound. We just do not have the fire we had earlier in the season.

No points for Riley Piercey in 7 games? No goals in 9? Lombardi has 1g in his last 27 games? They generate chances but it’s become the same issue they had early in the year where they’re just not finishing. Did Tynan even make one big save last night? It was just solid positional goaltending and everything was either right in the Greyhounds crest or shot over the net. Couple posts too. Cavallin hasn’t been great the last month either. I was surprised they didn’t go with Day last night to give him one last look before playoffs started. I doubt the result would have been worse if they did. Maybe Cav and the guys are just worn down. I don’t see why though. They’ve all had time off for stuff and had a less hectic stretch run.

Better effort tonight, not good by any means.

Powerplay was about the only thing that looked really good.

For real. Good to get the W leading into the playoffs. Good to see Amadeus get one. Still....meh. Cavallin has to be better. A bit more support for Cav too but he’s not been his usual self for a bit. No Deline but the Soo played Ivanov with no Kerins or O’Rouke. Othmann might be the star of the highlight reel but Petrou took a couple shots to make sure Hookey got the instigator there and that’s where the game turned. He’s the 2nd or 3rd star of the game in my book. Great to see Gretz in the house again. I wouldn’t mind having him around the boys a bit as the playoffs go on.

We were 1-3 against Owen Sound. This will be a good series. Clean slate starts this Friday.

Thought I'd take this time and throw this up here before the 1st round playoff games get I'm full swing and fan intensity and player intensity ramps up.

May the best team win and let's enjoy the ride in what should be an exciting round between these two clubs.

AS.
Like the positivity and best of luck to OS. Agree let's enjoy the ride and cheer on our favourite team. Let's be honest, it is nice to see the boys play an entire season, albeit a few rescheduled games but it has been great to see some games.

It’ll be nice to actually watch some playoff hockey too. Hopefully a couple rounds worth or more. I’ve seen 3 games for the franchise so far. Fortunately I was at the game in the Soo where they picked up their only playoff win. I think this team is built for much more success than that one but I’ll always wonder just how far that 19-20 team could have went.

Was wondering where he was in the lineup last weekend. Makes sense now.

I was discussing his absence last weekend. Look at that forward group. Who do you take out to put Slavicek in? It’s close for a couple guys and he’d be nice to have around for injuries/poor performance messages but if they’re running 11F/7D (which a few teams have been doing heading into playoffs) he’s not in the lineup in most situations. I gotta believe their thinking is “Go get big minutes for your National team as opposed to 10-12 minutes a night here”. Petrou and Assinewai can fill his spot if needed for the 1st round and then he’ll be back if they continue further on. It’s probably better for his draft chances playing on that stage too.

Nice to see BS’s articles in the Flint Journal sbout the playoffs. However, it would be nice to see more articles during the regular season.

Interesting little history for Firebirds fans whenever OS/DET-PLY-FLNT meet in the playoffs it usually ends with a sweep of the Round in 4 games dating back to 1994 and Detroit Compuware Ambassadors.

Will we see that this year ? Who knows all I know it's going to be a fun series either way

Absolutely shocked Cairns was terrible again tonight. Shocked I tell ya.
Well, he was better than Cavallin. I’ve been the biggest Cavallin supporter on this board since he was sixteen but if continues to let 3 weak goals in every other game or more like he has lately, they’re done in Round 1.

Both Teams 1/5 on Powerplays. Hayes likely should have received a 5 for his hit on Jordan. Othmann two head checks in 5 mins should get a game as well
