(2) Barrie Colts (45-14-5-4) vs. (3) Ottawa 67\u2019s (47-15-3-3)<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

The Eastern Conference semifinals deliver a fascinating clash between two of the conference’s most evenly matched clubs, as the Barrie Colts welcome the Ottawa 67’s for what promises to be a tightly contested series, and the standings tell the story of just how close these teams are. Ottawa actually finished the regular season with one more point than Barrie, but because the Colts claimed the Central Division title, they earned the second seed in the Eastern Conference, while the 67’s settled for third after finishing behind the OHL-best Brantford Bulldogs in the East.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ottawa comes into this round having quietly swept the Kingston Frontenacs, though the performance was not without its bumps. Rookie goaltender Ryder Fetterolf showed some cracks early, surrendering a combined seven goals through the first two games before settling down considerably and allowing just three over the final two. If he can find that steadier version of himself from the outset, the 67’s have a real chance at halting the Colts offence. Up front, multiple different players found their way onto the scoresheet throughout the four games, suggesting this is not a team that relies on one or two names to carry the load. The 67’s also showed they know how to win the hard way, holding on in two one-goal decisions without the cushion of overtime to bail them out. That ability to manage tight games and see them through speaks to a maturity and composure that could serve them well deep into a playoff run.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Barrie needed five games to get past the Niagara IceDogs, and the goaltending was inconsistent at times, with both Ben Hrebik and Arvin Jaswal having their difficult moments throughout the series. But when it mattered most, the Colts’ tandem delivered, closing things out with a shutout in Game 5. Offensively, Barrie has some of the most productive players in the entire league right now. Cole Beaudoin leads the club with 11 points and has recorded a point in every game of the series. Both Ben Wilmott and Brad Gardiner sit at 10 points as well, with Wilmott earning OHL Player of the Week honours after putting up eight points across three games. The return of Kashawn Aitcheson from suspension also adds a significant piece to the lineup, bringing added physicality on the back end. That physicality is something of a theme for this group, as Barrie leads the league in penalty minutes, and in the intensity of a playoff series, that edge could prove to be a double-edged sword.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ultimately, both teams carry capable goaltending tandems into this series, and how each unit holds up under pressure could be the deciding factor. Ottawa will need Fetterolf to recapture his regular-season form, while Barrie will hope their goaltending resembles the steady version rather than the one that leaked goals in the middle games against Niagara. With the Colts chasing back-to-back appearances in the Eastern Conference finals and the 67’s looking to continue one of the most remarkable single-season turnarounds the OHL has seen in recent memory, both sides have plenty to play for.\u00a0<\/span>This series has all the ingredients for a grind. Two evenly matched rosters, two capable goaltending tandems, and a season series that settled nothing. Do not sleep on this one.<\/span><\/p>\n
