Cole Brown's hot streak and impending 30-goal milestone have me thinking: is he the most underrated player in the OHL this season? His performance has been crucial to the Bulldogs’ playoff berth, yet he flies under the radar compared to other big names. What do you think? Are there other players deserving of more recognition?

The Bulldogs clinched a playoff spot with games to spare, but their recent defensive lapses are concerning. Allowing six goals to the Greyhounds, including two shorthanded in 11 seconds, raises questions about their playoff readiness. Can they tighten up defensively in time for a deep run? Or will this inconsistency be their downfall?

Nick Lardis continues his incredible scoring streak, but is he getting enough support? While his contributions are undeniable, it seems like the Bulldogs’ offensive success hinges heavily on his individual performance. Is this reliance on one player sustainable in the playoffs? How crucial will secondary scoring be for Brantford's postseason hopes?

Lastly, a bold prediction: With the Eastern Conference race so tight, I foresee a major upset in the first round. Which team do you think is poised to shake things up, and why?
