67’s open postseason in Brantford
The chase for the J. Ross Robertson Cup is finally on.
What will hopefully be a long playoff journey begins tonight for the Ottawa 67’s, as they open Round 1 on the road against the Brantford Bulldogs. It’s a 7:00pm puck drop in Game 1, live from the Brantford Civic Centre, with fans able to tune in live locally on Rogers TV, stream on CHL TV, or hear Kenny Walls on the radio call for TSN 1200.
Ottawa had their struggles with the Bulldogs during the regular season, dropping the season series 3-1, but all that goes out the window when the playoffs begin. Despite Brantford finishing three spots ahead of the 67’s in the Eastern Conference standings, just five points divided these two teams, so Capital Territory can expect a highly competitive first-round matchup in this series.
