Spitfires Finish Strong, But Questions Remain Heading into Playoffs

The Windsor Spitfires wrapped up their regular season with a tough loss to London, finishing with a very respectable 45-17-4-2 record. Clinching a playoff spot early is always a plus, but their final seeding and first-round opponent are still up in the air. This tight race in the OHL standings has me wondering – who poses the biggest threat to the Spitfires in the playoffs, and could this London loss be a worrying sign heading into the postseason?

With home-ice advantage for the first two games, how crucial will fan support be in pushing the Spitfires forward? Will the energy of the home crowd be enough to overcome any potential first-round challenges?

I’m calling it now: this Spitfires team has the potential for a deep playoff run. But what do you think? What needs to happen for them to go all the way? Share your predictions, concerns, and hot takes below! Let’s hear what everyone thinks about the Spitfires' playoff chances!
