Playoff predictions

[From Up Top]

Niagara will keep the trend of wrapping up their series on home ice with a series win in game 6.

 

[ohloutsider]

So 3 out 4 but none are exact. Gives me 8 out of 12.
Niag 7 - think Ned will be the difference
London - 7 - think Parson is just a little better and they will want it more after last year.

Both picks right but nobody picked 2 sweeps. Gives me 10 out of 14.
Both these teams are good but nobody cycles like London, nobody clogs the middle like London, Nobody passes or anticipates passes like London. You can sense my pick here.
London in 6

I will throw out my "but if" here - If Niag can win game 1 in London then they have a shot. To me the series will be won or lost in Game 1.
I'm not a London fan but I dislike Marty Williams more. I just hope it is good hockey - nobody gets hurt and it goes a little longer than 4 games. Whoever wins will represent the league well in Red Deer.

 

[Medway Bear]

That's more like it 2/4.

Western Conference

Erie vs London- Erie in seven

Eastern Conference

Barrie vs Niagara - Niagara in six

Well 1/2, pretty average.

London vs Niagara - London in five

 

[Snippit]

10/14

London in 6

Bonus:

Rouyn-Noranda out of the Q
Brandon out of the W

 

[ScoresFromCentre]

I doubt it Ice Dogs have never been swept in their playoff history and they are 12 and 1

The first point is completely irrelevant; the second is less convincing when you consider London is... 12-2, and against stronger competition.

Niagara can definitely win this, though I don't think they should. Gotta go the safe bet with London in 5-6... I'll say 6. Typically I don't like picking teams to close out series on the road, but London's been great away from the Bud this postseason.

Anything from Niagara in 6 to London in 4 wouldn't surprise me, though. This Niagara run is so weird it feels like Marc Staal should be involved.

 

[GoKnightsGo44]

I may very well add my foot to my mouth but I will predict knights in 4

 

[HLLYWD99]

9 for 12

Wierd Beavers over Knats in 7 games of firebrand hockey

Frozen Pooch's in 4 they swept the Fronts they can sweep the Dolts

10 for 14

Knats over the Pooch's in 4, remember 2012

I may very well add my foot to my mouth but I will predict knights in 4

Not gonna happen.

 

[EON]

1/2 last round, 11/14 now.

No question the Knights and the Ice Dogs are the two best teams in the league right now. So much talent in this series. Knights have the edge offensively, Ice Dogs have the edge on defense (though the Knights defense was excellent last series). Goaltending is as close to a toss up as it gets between Ned and Parsons. Just something about the way this Knights team is playing right now, gotta go with them.

Knights in six.

Memorial Cup will be Red Deer (host), Brandon (WHL), London (OHL), and Rouyn-Noranda (QMJHL).

 

[PhlyerPhanatic31]

One last time

Niagara in 4

 

[Voice from the North]

Niagara is a team that has been built specifically for this year and are finally playing like the pre season favorites they were. Goaltending, defence and depth wins championships, Niagara in 6.

 

[Snippit]

Not gonna happen.

I wouldn't put money on it happening...then again, who could have predicted that London would sweep Erie?

 

[Mayday3*]

London in 3

 

[SignThornton]

I wouldn't put money on it happening...then again, who could have predicted that London would sweep Erie?

No but I wasn't expecting my Dogs to beat Kingston and Barrie in 4 either. But we did. Anything can happen I agree but whoever wins his series will do it in 6 or 7 I believe.

 

[aresknights]

London in 5.
Just for old times sake....
First game to Niagara in 2OT, then London runs the table

Both teams are rolling.
For Niagara, Ned and a couple big physical ( play on the edge ) Fs might cause London some issues.

 

[dirty12]

London was my pick going into the playoffs; but, Niagara made quick work of more difficult opposition in two teams constructed to win this year. Niagara in five.

 

[three dog night]

London in 3

London is good but not that good Niagara in seven

 

[bobber]

London is good but not that good Niagara in seven

I was thinking May Day was saying the Knights would win three and the Dogs four. I doubt it will take the Dogs that long

 

[KnightsFanSince98]

I may very well add my foot to my mouth but I will predict knights in 4

I will join you,
Knights in 4

 

[Mayday3*]

You thought wrong. London wins the first 3, Niagara won't showup for game 4 out of pure embarrassment and that's how the series ends

 

[Brock]

My preview.

I've got the Knights in 6.

Sorry will not happen the Knight have never won at the Meridiain Centre yet and the Ice Dogs are too deep to be swept.

They've played 2 games there

Erie was too deep to be swept too....So was Kitchener

Kitchener was not deep to many key injuries and Erie lost Betz to suspension. Zero for two is zero for two and the Ice Dogs usually play well over the years in London.

12 for 14 so far after a couple wrong picks early on in round 1. I'll say that the final round will be a good one but i expected the last 2 to be better than they were as well. Niagara is the hot hand since the beginning of the year so i'm riding them to the finals, especially with Ned stealing games like he is. Shutting down (or at least slowing down) the knights 1st line is key. The early loss of Perlini does them no favours but i'm going with the Dogs in 6
