OMMF Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 WHL - Kelowna RocketsOHL - Ottawa 67'sQMJHL - Rimouski OceanicHost team - London KnightsTough field to pick a winner. Out of the 4, I'd say the 67's are the weakest. Rimouski has been on a tear and London was pretty dominant all year. Kelowna looked beatable in their first 2 series (damn Thunderbirds) but have picked up in the last 2.I'm going to say Crosby adds another piece of hardware to his mantle and the Oceanic win the Cup with Sid getting MVP.

DEAD! Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 It's really a toss up between London, Kelowna and Rimouski. Kelowna are the defending champions, London and Rimouski have pulled off amazing undefeated streaks. I chose London just because they are the hosts.All I want is the 67's to lose their 3 round robin games. I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
officeglenn Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 I voted London, but I'm really on the fence between London and Rimouski. They'll probably meet in the final, which would be a great showdown between Perry and Crosby. I agree that Ottawa is probably the weakest of the four, and Kelowna ... well, I'm just not a big fan of Kelowna period. Something to do with an old roommate who wouldn't shut up about them. Plus they only beat Kootenay because the Ice had a bunch of injuries, including Nigel Dawes. (Not that I'm homering or anything, 'cause even though I live in the East Kootenay, I'm still not particularly fond of the Ice either.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dilbert Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 I choose London. They are a very strong team and hosts. Ottawa is just in there because they needed another team because London was already hosting it. Kelowna is also very tough though too. I only like Rimouski because of the name Oceanic.

randyc Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 it'll be a toss up of Rimouski, London, and Kelowna for the Cup, but i am hoping Kelowna can repeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OMMF Posted May 14, 2005 Author Share Posted May 14, 2005 Ottawa is just in there because they needed another team because London was already hosting it. Not really. They still had to win the Bobby Orr trophy to get in to the tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CC97 Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 London/Rimouski to open the cup will be probably the best matchup of talent in CHL history... here's hoping they meet again in the final.I pick London because of the home ice advantage. --- Chris Creamer Founder/Editor, SportsLogos.Net Β "The Mothership" β’ News β’ Facebook β’ X/Twitter β’ Instagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Clemente Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 The Oceanic have lost exactly once in 2005. Their undefeated streak to end the season was even longer than London's at the start of the season. (It reached 37 games before losing game 4 of the QMJHL semi-finals. They then won their last five games to win the league title.) I'd say Rimouski is on a bigger roll than London, and have a mindblowing offence. But London does have an amazing defence and home-ice advantage. I can't wait for it.--Roger "Time?" Clemente.
