Brantford, Barrie, Sudbury, Niagara, and Kingston all own winning records currently vs Brampton, and Oshawa has split. I doubt any team wants to avoid Brampton. I think teams are more concerned about going into the playoffs playing well, and would prefer to face a team reeling a bit.

they have goaltending, defence is pretty good now with the addition of Konnor Smith and they’ve always had scoring. Top that off with a great coach. Plus they’ve dealt with players being out consistently. They strike a lot more fear into the eyes of contenders than Sudbury/niagara I can absolutely guarantee that.

In the playoffs goaltending can win you a game or a round by itself. The fronts have ran into hot goalies like Alex Nedeljkovic and despite having the better team- goaltending was the big difference. Playoffs are a whole different breed from regular season.

If Flores isn’t playing Niagara is definitely the team everyone wants to play. Them or Sudbury with the inconstant tandem of Krawchuck and Marshall.

Fronts tandem is the worst of the big 4 in the east (Brantford, Barrie, Oshawa, Kingston) they likely have the best depth up front or tied with Barrie for that.

Barrie or Brantford with the best defence imo.

Regardless… 3 pretty good teams are going out round 1.

Yeah, good teams will be going out in round one.
All teams have had to deal with missing players. The steelheads defence is still weak because they have the weakest centres of all the playoff teams in the conference, and because the wingers that play most do not make up the difference defensively.

Looking at the final games each team has and the fact that you are behind Branfrod by 3 points I get the feeling that the race in the standings is more about Osh and Kingston and who gets not to play Brampton in the first round
I think it comes down to possibly 4 games. Osh against Sud twice and Kingston against Brantford and Brampton.
