Frontenacs stumble into playoffs: Are they truly contenders?

The Kingston Frontenacs limped into the playoffs with back-to-back losses, raising serious questions about their championship aspirations. Is this just a minor blip, or a sign of deeper issues? Can they flip the switch against a Sudbury Wolves team that boasts the dynamic Quentin Musty? Was resting key players in the final game a wise decision, or did it disrupt their momentum heading into the playoffs?

The Frontenacs made significant moves throughout the season to bolster their roster. But was it enough? Their playoff success might hinge on goalie Charlie Schenkel. He has the experience, but can he deliver consistent performances under pressure? How much of an advantage does Schenkel’s familiarity with Sudbury’s arena actually provide in a playoff series?

Sudbury presents a unique challenge. Their season series against Kingston was split, with each team dominating on home ice. Does home ice advantage truly hold the key to this series? Or will the star power of Musty be the deciding factor? Let's discuss the Frontenacs' playoff chances, predict the series outcome, and analyze the key matchups that will determine the winner.
