OHL Saturday Night Roundup: Upsets, Shutouts, and Shootouts Galore!

Wow, what a night of OHL action! Did anyone see the Erie Otters explosion against Saginaw? 8-2! Sam Alfano with a hat trick and Callum Hughes racking up 2 goals and an assist. Are the Otters finally finding their stride? Or was this just a bad night for the Spirit?

Elsewhere, the Guelph Storm needed a shootout to get past the Kingston Frontenacs. Close games like this really highlight the importance of special teams. Kingston didn’t have a single power play opportunity. Does that kind of discrepancy happen too often in the OHL? Is there something about the officiating we should be looking at?

And how about Nathan Day and the Flint Firebirds shutting out the Owen Sound Attack? 16 saves for the shutout. Is Day a dark horse candidate for goalie of the year? What do Attack fans think about this performance?

Finally, a nail-biter in Windsor with the Spitfires edging out the London Knights 3-2. A late goal to seal the deal – classic OHL drama! What are people’s thoughts on the Spitfires this season? Are they contenders?

Let’s hear your hot takes on last night’s games. Which result surprised you the most? Any bold predictions for the rest of the season?
