Minor Hockey Talks - Hockey Forum

Several OHL teams seem to be finding their stride offensively, putting up some big numbers this past Friday. The Guelph Storm’s 6-4 victory over Flint, and Saginaw's decisive 5-2 win against Erie, showcase some potent offenses. Are we witnessing the emergence of some serious contenders, or are these just flashes in the pan? What do these high-scoring games say about the current state of OHL defense?

Speaking of contenders, the London Knights continue their dominant run, handily beating the Windsor Spitfires 5-1. Is anyone capable of stopping this Knights team? Can Windsor bounce back from this seemingly decisive loss, or does this signal a shift in power within the West Division?

The tight games, like Niagara's nail-biting 5-4 win over Sudbury and Kingston's overtime thriller against Sault Ste. Marie, raise some interesting questions. Are these close results a sign of parity within the OHL, or simply the natural ebb and flow of a long season? Which teams do you see emerging from these tight contests as true playoff threats? I’m particularly interested in seeing how Niagara continues to perform - are they a dark horse contender?

Finally, Oshawa's last-minute win over Ottawa highlights the importance of late-game execution. Do you think teams are focusing enough on those crucial final minutes, or are we seeing too many games decided by last-minute scrambles? Share your thoughts and predictions. Let the debate begin!
