    London staved off elimination with a 6-4 win at home in Game 5 vs Barrie. Lightning prospect Jake Dotchin was back in the Colt lineup after missing five games due to suspension. He did not register a point on Friday. London had a 4-1 lead entering the third period, and though the Colts twice cut the lead to two goals, they could never complete the comeback. Barrie will have another chance to clinch the league championship Saturday night at home.

    (2)Baie-Comeau Drakkar 1 @ (1)Halifax Mooseheads 5
    Halifax wins best-of-7 QMJHL Finals, 4-1

    Playoff totals: 17 GP, 11-22-33, +17, 12 PIM

    Season totals: 49 GP, 41-64-105, +48, 32 PIM

    Halifax won their first President Cup as QMJHL champs with a 5-1 win on Friday night. Jonathan Drouin, the league’s regular season MVP, won playoff MVP with 35 points in 17 games. Halifax will travel to Saskatoon to participate in the 2013 Memorial Cup next week.

    Note: With the Lightning picking No. 3 in this summer’s draft, it is expected they will choose either MacKinnon or Drouin with their first round pick. While that could change, we will follow both prospects for the duration of their playoff run as we did with Steven Stamkos after the Lightning won the 2008 draft lottery.

  • AHL Playoff Game Night: 5-10-13 Falcons at Crunch
    5 weeks 5 days ago

    Syracuse draws first blood, and nearly hits an artery.

    SYR-5
    SPR-2

    Syracuse Leads the Series 1-0

    Cedrick Desjardins allowed 2 goals on 24 shots for the victory. Goal support is a beautiful thing.

    First Periodd
    SYR Barberio, (2) (Panik, Johnson), 8:40 (PP)
    SYR Panik, (2) (Johnson, Palat), 9:00
    SPR Drazenovic, (2) (Holden, Craig), 10:06 (PP)
    SYR Brown, (2) (Wyman, Korobov), 11:26
    SYR Connolly, (2) (Sexton, Taormina), 18:13

    Second Period
    SYR Johnson, (3) (Palat), 10:10

    Third Period
    SPR Craig, (1) (Holden, Johansen), 19:58 (PP)

    Tyler Johnson, Richard Panik, and Ondrej Palat were the game's three stars. In the marquee matchup between the AHL's best line over the past 1-1/2 years and a very good goaltender, Curtis McElhinney, round one goes to the PTP'ers. Interestingly, all three of Syracuse's lines clicked in the First Period clock cleaning that ended Game One early on, but make no mistake, this series comes down to whether McElhinney can make enough saves to keep games close and allow Springfield to leverage the goaltending advantage they have on paper. And, to do that, he has to stop Palat/Johnson/Panik.

    Game Two is tomorrow night, and with home ice advantage already stolen away, Syracuse is playing with house money. A Game Two victory possibly means a short series, and in the war of attrition that is playoff hockey, that can pay big dividends in future rounds.

    Barrie swept London in the Colts’ barn and finds itself one win away from being OHL champions. Jets prospect Mark Scheifele had four goals and an assist for Barrie to give him 10 points in his last two games. Lightning prospect Jake Dotchin did not play as he served the last game of a five game suspension for a check-from-behind. He can return for Game 5, which is Friday night in London.

While that could change, we will follow both prospects for the duration of their playoff run as we did with Steven Stamkos after the Lightning won the 2008 draft lottery.

    The Drakkar handed Halifax their first playoff loss, a 3-1 decision in Game 3 of the QMJHL Finals. They also held the dynamic duo of MacKinnon and Drouin to no points and two total shots on goal. Drouin hasn’t registered a point in two games – the first time that has happened this year. MacKinnon was just 8-21 on faceoffs. Game 4 is Wednesday in the Drakkar’s barn.

    Note: With the Lightning picking No. 3 in this summer’s draft, it is widely expected they will choose either MacKinnon or Drouin with their first round pick. We will follow both prospects for the duration of their playoff run as we did with Steven Stamkos after the Lightning won the 2008 draft lottery.
