If I was to give you a bunch of random years for you to remember who won the OHL title I don't think it would be that easy. If I asked you who won the 1997 OHL title or if you can remember the last 3 teams to from the OHL to win a Memorial Cup I think you could remember the Memorial Cup winning team. You might remember a random OHL champion because maybe London lost to that team etc... otherwise it's harder than you think.It isn't a Knights fan thing as much as you wanna take it there lol. . Check the people who responded on here.
I still bet more fans across this league remember more OHL champs than Memorial Cup champs
I get it, it's your measuring stick. Doesn't mean it everyone else's.
Or that if you make stuff up it's true.

Amusingly enough, the last OHL team to win the Memorial Cup was Windsor in 2017.... and, yes, I had to look it up (it's been a busy day).
I've heard a former Spits player I still have contact with say the goal was to bring the OHL title back to Windsor (and he didn't call the trophy by name
)It's been a while for the OHL.
Hey ya got the Spits 2 biggest fans to like one of your posts. That's impressive Razor! That don't happen often
If the point I responded to was everyone remembers the Memorial Cup champ..... and the league means alot less cause people don't remember the name of the trophy.......
Ya I'll guarantee I'd do better remembering OHL champs over National tourney winners easily. The last 5 years, 10 years or any given random year cause I follow the O, know kids that played in it from benches and dressing rooms, had season tics since 99. But often tune out the Memorial Cup if their isn't a personal reason to watch. Just me but it wouldn't be close and yes it would be hard for many. I totally agree. But I think more would know their league than the tourney.
NCAA frozen 4 or March Madness I would agree there for sure.

That was something I heard from them multiple times; how badly they wanted to get first overall so, should Game 7 happen again, they were at home for it. Regarding the name... it's easier to say "stanley cup" or "OHL championship", rather than "J Ross Robertson Trophy", so I get it haha
Good day all. Have a great Easter weekend!
Have a good weekend
Ya mean they didn't all just say Memorial Cup was the goal? No way.
Have a good weekendI bet past ownership would rather have the millions in lost playoff revenue from 2011-2022 than the 2017 Memorial Cup banner.
Wonder how much ownership this year was banking on some playoff revenue. Anyone have a guess what a playoff game might generate in revenue?

For Windsor I'd say roughly $500k per game
That has nothing to do with a franchises success. Haven't u been following
Ouch.
One of us should start a poll thread. I’m kind of curious. I completely believe you and I’m sure you’re not the only one. To me though I’d want the weeks long thrill of a playoff run. I’d be bummed to not finish it off but depending on the opponent and outcome I’d be more than content. Now…..if there already were 2-3-4 J. ROSS ROBERTSON CUP banners hanging in the building….maybe I’d pick the Memory Cup thing or whatever it’s called.
Exactly why we should keep him. Our import drafts lately have been garbage, and we don’t have a high pick this year. We’re not going to have anything better on the import front.
His value going to another team is low as an OA Import, however, I believe he can heavily contribute here next year, while Christopoulos and Maillet fetch great returns, and Holmes will hopefully give us a little something of what we spent as I’d guess he holds more value than Peer & Jodoin.
In my eyes Harrison cost more to do less, more blame goes on him
Maybe my value of Meidema is just skewed as I never enjoyed watching him
IMO, the Dionicio sample size here is too much for a heavy pull. I agree with your other assessments, I’d just ride out Rodwin Dionicio until the deadline. I think he’ll continue to prove value and may gain an extra pick or two from a team on a push, who could use the depth of a guy that can slot into a forward role if necessary.
A deep playoff run I think would’ve raised the attention needed to spike his value, but 2 games, I think we have to hold for half the year to get top dollar. I’d love to keep him, but if he does what he’s done, he’ll find an AHL contract quicker than an OA year.
I agree, it was the right time to buy.
You wait until next year, you lose the OHL top scorer in Maggio, you lose 2 of Sobolev/Peer/Christopoulos/Maillet/Jodoin (with no return at all on the 3 you keep after that. Meaning you keep Sobolev, Christopoulos, Maillet and probably don’t get more in the first 6 rounds than a 3rd and 4th for the ones moved), the goalie position is a question mark with whomever backing up Costanzo, and I’d debate Costanzo hadn’t proven himself 23/24 starter worthy at this years deadline.
This was the year to go all in to compete. Unfortunately, we did half.
We went all in. Did not compete.
Game 3 was the only competitive game of the series IMO.
I’ve been to flint a lot. The post feels on brand for the majority of their fan base lol
I disagree all that was proven true. Our goaltending was better from both goalies than I expected lol. The offense on the other hand, yikes.
SEVEN goals in 4 games. 1.75 Goals for in the playoffs.
20 goals against. Could’ve been way worse given the quantity of opportunities. Hats off to Onuska & Costanzo. I lost faith in Onuska down the stretch but he showed up in Kitchener
If you told me 10 days ago the Spits first round was only going to be 4 games, I would’ve asked you who our round 2 opponent was and when does it start?

I’d guess 250k+
My estimate is 6500 tickets at $20 (sure they’re more, but not all seats are always sold)
$10 avg fan concessions
Rough estimate on merch.
On the Bright side, if you didn’t want to stand in line, those “2023 Whatever It Takes” shirts gotta be pretty cheap at this point. Probably should’ve changed the slogan to “What does it take?”

To be fair, I likely couldn't name the last few World Series or Stanley Cup winners, either. Brain is weird like that. (though, I know Tampa's won a couple lately)
But we can all remember the Leafs last Stanley Cup win…
