First club in OHL playoff history to come back from 3 straight 2-0 series deficits.

 

[King'sPawn]

It's nice to have a team to root for in the Memorial Cup.

[King'sPawn]

Ottawa became the first time in OHL history to sweep the first three rounds then lose in the final.

I'm guessing that's a pretty unusual situation and am assuming that's never happened before in any major hockey circuit.

 

[Peter James Bond II]

Pretty epic, taking out Ottawa in 4 straight games, after they had gone 12-0.

Durzi had a great playoffs. 27 pts in 24 games and plus 16.

I was looking at the table in your post and thought he had 24G and 3A.

Did two of those teams lose their starting goalies?

Did two of those teams lose their starting goalies?

I’m not sure, I know the 67’s lost DiPietro which was obviously huge but, full credit to Guelph who dominated for large portions of the series after going down 2-0.

London went with Kooy the entire series, I believe.

Saginaw changed goalies late in Game 2 so there may have been an injury there.

 

[kovacro]

After opening on Saturday, Guelph will play host Halifax next Sunday and then play the winner of the WHL (Prince Albert or Vancouver) on Tuesday.

Saginaw lost Ivan Prosvetov for 5 games with a few minutes left in game two.

 

[King'sPawn]

Durzi is tearing it up so far with Guelph. He has 3 assists after two periods as the Storm are up 5-2.

His first two assists were beauty stretch passes from his own faceoff circle; one sprinted St. Louis prospect Toropchenko on the breakaway (allowing him to complete the hat trick). The second one springed Ratcliffe and Entwhistle on a two-on-one. His third assist close to the end of the second during a two-on-one with Nick Suzuki, doing a give-and-go so Suzuki has a wide open net.

The comments about his defensive game are valid criticisms, though. He's still pretty lost defensively. One such goal by the Huskies is because the forward worked around Nick Suzuki, and Durzi failed to close the gap. He also failed to follow the play when it was behind the net; he turned his back to the most dangerous Husky which created a high danger chance.

The comments about his defensive game are valid criticisms, though. He's still pretty lost defensively. One such goal by the Huskies is because the forward worked around Durzi's defensive partner, and Durzi failed to close the gap. He also failed to follow the play when it was behind the net; he turned his back to the most dangerous Husky which created a high danger chance.

Durzi's D partner on the one play you mentioned was Suzuki. He's definitely going to need a lot of work on D at the pro level to get him up to NHL standards defensively

Oops, I must have missed that. Thank you!

Either way, the point stands that Durzi failed in identifying a threat

 

[kovacro]

Durzi ties it for Guelph versus the hosts, Halifax. 1-1 after 20 mins.

 

[King'sPawn]

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

And he netted goal #2, but Guelph is down 4-2.

 

[kovacro]

Guelph with a big win tonight assuring a place in the semi-final.

Durzi with 2 assists. Leads all scorers with 7 points thus far.

Memorial Cup

The Durzi thread on the draft board is pretty great, tons of Leafs fans tearing him down as if others are building him up to be a #1, when in reality we will be thrilled if he becomes a #4 who can run the Power Play.

Yup, and they keep bringing up he is an overager, so he should be dominating..... Best D of the tourney so far.

5/6 and PP QB abilities would be awesome... anything more would be gravy
Mind you we still have Kale Clague, Mikey Anderson and a legit chance at drafting Bowen Byram

It was a good read until they started flooding it, which coincided with the Leafs getting bounced from the playoffs. Now it's just a **** show.

In case anyone else is rooting for Guelph in the Memorial Cup, they need Rouyn-Noranda to beat Halifax tonight. Doing so would make a 3-way tie for 1st and send the seeding to tiebreakers.

Because it's slow at work, I crunched the numbers to find what results would see Guelph finish in the top spot.

Guelph needs Rouyn-Noranda to win by a score of:

2-0
3- [0 or 1}
4- [1 or 2]
5- [2, 3 or 4]
6- [2, 3, 4 or 5]
7- [3, 4, 5 or 6]
8- [4, 5, 6 or 7]

A 5-1 R-N win would see R-N and Guelph go to a second tiebreaker for 1st and a 4-3 R-N win would see Halifax and Guelph go to a second tiebreaker.

I'm sorry I cannot give you back the time it took to read this...
