Playoff Preview - Round 2 - Western Conference

Seeing that I was only 5-8 in the first round, I should avoid making predictions. But why stop now? But first, a look at the two series.

Owen Sound (1) Plymouth (6) - Plymouth won series 1-0-1

Plymouth is coming off of a hard fought 7 game series against the favored Rangers While Owen Sound had a 6 game series win against London. The Whalers will once again be the underdogs in this one, but dont take them lightly.

Here's what their draft eligibles did against each other in the season series.

Stefan Noesen - pointless
Alex Aleardi - 0G 2A
Garrett Meurs - pointless
Rickard Rakell - 0G 1A

Andrew Fritsch - 1G 0A
Cameron Brace - 0G 0A

Prediction: Plymouth in 6 games

Saginaw (2) Windsor (4) - Saginaw won season series 4-1-1

Windsor is coming off of a 7 game seasaw battle with Erie while Saginaw is coming off of a 6 game set with Guelph.

Here's a look at what the draft eligible players did against each other.

Alex Khokhlachev - 2G 4A

Vincent Trocheck - 2 G 7A
Brandon Saad - 0G 2A

Prediction: Saginaw in 6 games

Garrett Meurs

Garrett Meurs, Plymouth Whalers

Garrett has the skill and offensive potential to be top notch. He has the ability to dominate a game on his own and has shown that ability. He has excellent skating abilities and speed, especially in his first few strides. It doesn’t take him long to reach top speed.




In 62 games for the Whalers he registered 18 goals and 18 assists. With Tyler Seguin probably in the NHL next season, the offence for the Whalers will start and stop with Meurs.
