Schwa. Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 Next the Memorial Cup!The Kitchener Rangers will enter the Memorial Cup run as OHL champions. The Rangers led all the way through last nights game, toughing out a strong Bulls outfit. But it wasn't until Mike Duco put the puck into an empty net in the dying moments that Rangers fans let out a collective sigh of relief, and with that, the blue shirts beat the Belleville Bulls 4-1 in front of a capacity crowd at the Kitchener Memorial Auditorium. Hundreds of fans paraded through the downtown after the game, honking and waving jerseys to celebrate the game 7 win. 570 News spoke with fans as they left the AUD last night, most saying with OHL title in hand, it will give the Rangers some much-needed momentum as they head into the Memorial Cup, which starts Friday.

Jaimoe Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 We'll see if they can beat the Bulls in the real championship... and I hope they do since I'm a lowly Frontenacs fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Low Roller Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 Two Habs prospects, P.K. Subban (Belleville) and Yannick Weber (Kitchener), were beating each other up during the 7 game OHL Finals series.Subban ended up having 23 points in 21 games (not bad for a defenceman) and Weber had 17 points in 17 games (he's also a defenceman). Weber was injured and did not play the last three games of the Finals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badams Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 I'm a lowly Frontenacs fan.The Fronts really need to have Larry Mavety leave. He is a cancer. He must know something about the Springers to keep that job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubberdinghy Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 Isn't it in Kitchener? not Belleville? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubberdinghy Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 The Kitchener Rangers were chosen to host, and are competing against the Belleville Bulls in the 2008 OHL championship series. Bellevile is guaranteed a berth in the tournament by virtue of playing against the host team in the league championsip. The Rangers will compete in the Memorial Cup schedule as hosts, and Belleville will assume the schedule of the OHL champions.I found my own answer.

Tissue Man Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 I am an OHL noob.. anything ive ever been involved in if the host team wins the title the 2nd place team comes in as the host because of seeding. Guess that doesnt matter for the Memorial cup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmoothedShredder Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 It just a nuance when the host team wins a division championship. It doesn't happen often. It's kind of neat though how Belleville still has a chance even though they got knocked out by a team they can still beat to win it all.

c-towns Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 which one is the bad leg? I'd think you'd be screwed either way supporting your frame while you kick or kicking with sheer force, thats right, SHEER FORCE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave-O Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 Yes, still pressing to score on the PP in the dying minutes when you're up 8-0 is embarrassing. Spokane has had a great tourny, but Kitchener looks to play a more complete team game. Should be a good final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
