I want to agree but .... Huskies 3-0 to PAs 2-1
ditto Moose and Storm
My Predictions:
Round Robin Standings
1) Prince Albert Raiders 3-0 - too good defensively and strong goalie.
2) Rouyn-Noranda Huskies 2-1 - +53 goal differential through QMJHL playoffs
3) Halifax Mooseheads 1-2 - Home ice helps them beat Guelph in high-scoring match
4) Guelph Storm 0 -3 - gives up too many goals even if they score a tonne
Semi finals
Halifax used the home crowd to win against the Huskies
Finals
Raiders - Defense wins championships!

Guelph is going to steamroll this tournament to the easy victory. Suzuki will win tournament MVP.
I'm hoping the hometown Mooseheads pull it off but have a hard time envisioning it. The Huskies looked so good in the Q-finals. Admittedly, I don't follow the OHL or WHL enough to make an educated prediction on the overall outcome.
I'll be at the last game of the round robin between the Mooseheads and Huskies. There's still tickets for the semis available, so if I can find someone to drive my hobbled ass up to it, I may go to that as well.
Without me, it's only "aweso".
I wish buddy! If flights weren't so expensive, I would take you up on it!
I went to the Memorial Cup in Brandon back in 2010... when Windsor had a stacked lineup. It was such a great experience!
Have lots of fun, and I would definitely recommend trying hard to find someone to take you to as many games as you can!

I think that the main story coming out of this year's Mem Cup will be Noah Dobson winning it back to back with different teams. He's the best player in the tournament and he's gonna be the key factor in Rouyn Noranda winning it. Probably beating the Raiders in the finals, as Ian Scott gets them there.
GET WELL SOON, DOBBER.
Haha, I've been bribing my buddies with this offer since I live almost an hour away from the arena. With the games starting at 8, it means a pretty late night most times.
But you guys have both been great leaguemates for years so if you're ever in NS, I'll gladly treat ya to a Mooseheads game and beer. (One condition for you EB, you have to trade me Eichel though haha)

Dobson has been a beast. He gets a pretty loud chorus of boos every time he touches the puck here in Halifax.
Without me, it's only "aweso".
Tickets are officially booked for the semi final game now too! Here's hoping the Moose make it!
Without me, it's only "aweso".
