Could this offensive outburst be a preview of a deep playoff run? Are the Otters the team to beat in the OHL this year?

While the Otters offense stole the show, the Spirit's collapse raises serious questions. Allowing eight goals in one period is alarming. Can they bounce back from this demoralizing loss, or is their playoff run already in jeopardy? What adjustments do the Spirit need to make to compete with Erie's firepower?

Elsewhere, the Windsor Spitfires cruised to a victory, while the Barrie Colts edged out the Niagara Icedogs in a tighter contest. Does Windsor's dominant performance make them a legitimate contender? How crucial was Romani's late goal for the Colts? Which other teams are flying under the radar and could make a surprise run?
