Surprised there wasn't a thread already so I'll start one. Game has just started. Kelowna vs Oshawa so as an Orr fan I'll be rooting for the Generals. :hockeysmile:

No doubt in my mind.

Well, a little.

Great game by Kelowna. They deserved to win as much as the Gens did

Gotta say, I felt it was disrespectul of Oshawa to put on the Champions caps before the handshake.

This seems to be a growing trend. Delay, delay, delay the handshake line. Not just in this game, but in all hockey series lately. I get that the winners are happy. Nothing wrong with all jumping on the ice and piling on each other [OK that sounds a little weird, but you know what I mean]. Then respect your opponent and shake their hands. All of the coaches, and other hangers on should not be on the ice until the point when the trophy is wheeled out.

Making your opponent sit there for 10+ minutes while you hug your teammates, while your coaches grandchildren run out on the ice, while the puckbunnies come out for a squeeze is just BS.

Oh, and what the hell???. The handshake line is no place for children of team officials. Players, Coach and Asst Coach only. No owners, relatvies, or anyone else who happened to jump over the boards.

Oh and Cirelli. You forgot one thing. After you scored the goal and ripped your helmet off, you forgot to pop/tug your jersey to the camera. Tsk tsk. Maybe next ttime.

Draisaitl got the Memorial Cup MVP...He made a couple of nice passes, otherwise he was invisible in the championship game. I would have given it to Ken Appleby, he was the main reason Oshawa won yesterday.

The Kelowna players were face-down crying on the ice. Were the Generals supposed to grab an espresso while they waited for them to collect themselves?

A Timmy's double double works just as well.

Nothing wrong with the OSH players celebrating. I just think that shaking your opponent's hand should come before kids on the ice and putting on the championship caps.

And KEL can cry it out while the OSH players finish their group hug. Then suck it up and shake hands, then go cry in the locker room if you are still upset.

Wave your tassels for Cole Cassels.

If you believe the rumo(u)rs, a lot of OSU ladies have.


Minus the tassels.

Not gonna go look for kelowna fans, but the OT goal was quite possibly goalie interference. If that had happened in the NHL, it would have got a long, long look. Cirelli clearly makes contact with the goalie's head before the puck squirts loose.

But it doesnt matter, OSH is officially the #1 Junior franchise of all time. Period.

The refs kept their whistles in their pockets all game long, I had no dog in the fight, but I thought Oshawa got away with a few hooks and hold that should have been called. That said, the Rockets had plenty of chances to bury the Generals and Appleby stood tall.
