Prospect Playoffs

This is just the results for yesterday which was the opening night of CHL action, so it was busy.

Victor Johansson

That's the second sweep for this team and they move onto the semifinals next week.

Easton Cowan

The London Knights played their opener last night against Owen Sound and won it emphatically 6-1.

Ben Danford

Emphatic was the theme as Oshawa beat Bampton 7-4.

Sam McCue

Flint and Kitchener bucked the trend going to overtime three-all. Unfortunately Kitchener got the win against McCue's team.

Noah Chadwick

Chadwick played very well on Lethbridge's top pair, pitching in with an assist, three shots, and was a +3 in their 6-3 win on home ice. It should be an easier series for them, and they sure looked like the favoured team after the first game.

Miroslav Holinka

Holinka didn't factor into any of the goals, but played well in a defensive, play-pushing in the right direction kind of role for Edmonton. They pulled off the 'upset' win 3-1 as the road team, giving them the 1-0 series lead.

Borya Valis

This was the best game of the night, by far. Mainly because the third period was absolutely bonkers. Prince George was down 5-2 going at the start of the period, and then they scored four straight goals to take a 6-5 lead. The building was going nuts on each successive goal. Valis was a huge part of their comeback – he had Prince George's first goal, assisted on their fourth goal of the game that brought the score within one, and assisted on their sixth goal to give them a temporary lead.

Portland tied it late in the third, so it went to overtime, and then Prince George finished the job on a bit of a controversial goal since the Portland goalie knocked the net off by himself before the puck was shot and went in. Valis got credited for the goal initially but it didn't look like he touched it, and it was given to the shooter after the game. It was still a big three point night in a fun as hell 7-6 overtime win!

Nathan Mayes

Spokane took care of business in game one, on home ice. They controlled most of the game and were pretty suffocating to Vancouver's offense, outshooting them 44-26 and only giving up 6 shots on goal in the third period while protecting the lead. Mayes was fantastic for Spokane, having the primary assist on the game winning goal and was a +3.

Hudson Malinoski

His Providence team was up against Denver and did not fare well. Denver won it easily. That ends his playoffs.

Oh that's nice for him, he's... wait, he's the 1C? Checks to see if he moved to the Swiss league while I wasn't looking...

UGH

That's all for now, don't forget the game later today, not late, but still in California.
