OHL Weekend Takeaways: Colts OT Thriller & High-Scoring Affairs!

The Barrie Colts pulling off an overtime win against the North Bay Battalion has me wondering, are we witnessing a late-season surge from a team ready to make some noise in the playoffs? Or was this just a blip on the radar? What do you think their chances are?

Several high-scoring games this weekend, notably the Windsor Spitfires 8-5 victory against the London Knights. Is this offensive explosion a sign of things to come in the playoffs, or is defense going to tighten up as the stakes get higher? Does this kind of game make you more or less excited for the playoffs?

The Kingston Frontenacs also grabbed an OT win against the Ottawa 67's. Are overtime wins momentum builders, or do they mask underlying issues that could surface later in the playoffs?

Finally, a 50-save performance from No Names Krawchuk in a losing effort for the Sudbury Wolves. Is this a sign of a goaltender stealing games in the playoffs, or is it a testament to the strength of the Oshawa Generals offense? Who do you see as the key players to watch heading into the playoffs?
