Ontario Hockey League Conference Finals

The last 4 teams in the Ontario Hockey League Semifinals will be in a sense of David of Goliath as the top seeds as the Barrie Colts & Windsor Spitfires who have been unbeaten through the first 2 rounds of the playoffs. For Windsor, their superstar Taylor Hall just silenced Tyler Seguin and the Plymouth Whalers as the Whalers couldn't get anything going in the series as Tyler Seguin was held completely off the scoresheet in the 4 games.

Despite the sour end of the season, Seguin has done more then enough to be in the battle with Taylor Hall for the #1 overall draft pick, we will get a better idea who has the advantage tonight with the NHL Draft Lottery taking place in Toronto tonight.

Kitchener has been in 2 bruising rounds as the Rangers have knocked out the Saginaw Spirit in the Conference Quarterfinals and the London Knights in the 2nd Round. For London, many of them picked the Knights as the one team that could have knocked out either the Windsor Spitfires and/or Barrie Colts for the league championship.

For the Rangers to have a shot, Jeff Skinner will need to continue his great run as he leads the OHL Playoffs in goals with 12 while players like Gabriel Landeskog and Jeremy Morin will need to be strong secondary scorers to keep up with the Spitfires high scoring offense.

Many people thought that Mississauga were still a year or so away from having a shot to win a title with this current group. But the Majors who have one of the youngest teams in the league have shown that they can play with the best of them. Mississauga will need to contuine their strong team game with players like Devante Smith-Pelly and Curtis Cizikas are tied for the team lead with 6 goals.

However, the goaltending is going to need to improve as Chris Carrozzi & JP Anderson will need to up their game to handle Barrie Forwards like Bryan Cameron with 8 goals in the 8 playoff games he's had as the Colts have been unbeaten through the first 2 rounds.

For Barrie & Windsor, the 2 sweeps have the team in confidence and are looking for a head-to-head matchup for the OHL Championship & Memorial Cup Championship Spot.
