The Mooseheads really pooped this season, so with them not around I will go with the underdog hosts ...

 

GO RED DEER!!

 

Boooooo!  All about London knocking all of this riff raff off :)

6-2 final. Red Deer didn't play too bad really, all of the goals came in the last 5 minutes of the first 2 periods. In the 3rd London kinda cruised. Marner 5 pts, Dvorak 4pts, Tkachuk 10 shots. Tkachuk only had one assist even though he had several nice chances from in close. Martanet is an interesting D for London, later round guy.

6-1 Marner is unreal at this level

 

Exactly, he's an unbelievable talent, but in Junior he's elite.  I question his step going against men.  We'll see.  He's an interesting group of talent, skill and speed.  They are fun to watch though! :)

Timo Meier making up for his down season in the regular season to bring out his talents.  I forgot he was in the Q.  Yet another SJ forward who has upside :P

Meier is a big and talented forward who will be fine.

 

A large part of his regular season was spent on a decimated (talent wise) Moosehead team that was selling off everything at the end of this past season and started that the previous season.

 

So, he was pretty much a one man show in Halifax.  He was traded at the Q deadline to the Huskies.  This was the last move that cemented the Moosehead decent into oblivion.  They just missed DFL in the Q, but ended up winning the lottery and will choose first in the upcoming Q draft.  They have something like 10 first round picks.

 

The Q is funny in that you can run away from the rest of the league, win the league regular season championship by a lot, win the league playoff and capture your first President's Cup and then dominate and win your first Memorial Cup as Champion of the CHL, Champions League, if you will, one year.  Then two years later you are almost DFL and drafting first overall.

Meier was very noticable all over the ice

The Memorial Cup is tough to win because your Junior career may be 4 years and you need to be on a team with a bunch of solid 18-20 year olds. Teams load up if they feel they have a chance to go deep. The majority of players on a team like that graduate following the cup run, leaving the team to rebuild. Guelph lost in the final in 2014 and have been in rebuilding mode since, finishing 18th in the OHL this year.

 

Mark Recchi won 3 Memorial Cups in his junior career which is unheard of. The only other guy I know of is Bob Savard who won 3 consecutive Cups, 2 with the Cornwall Royals and a 3rd with the Kitchener Rangers.

Sorry folks, it was Darcy Tucker not Mark Recchi who won 3 Memorial Cups with Kamloops.

Tyson Nash and Ryan Huska were also part of all 3.

 

 

F him.
