Round one of the Turnbull Cup playoffs is in the books as just four teams remain.
Jeff Henson downed Darnell Duff in the first round of 730CKDM's MJHL Playoff Pick-Em.
Kings vs Blizzard: Henny Won
Virden vs Neepawa: Henny Won
Steinbach vs Niverville: Henny & Duffy Tied
Portage vs Winkler: Henny Won
Round Two:
Pistons vs Blizzard:
Duffy's Predictions: Blizzard in 6
Duffy's Thoughts: Goaltending and the hardest-working team in the league. They needed to split the first two games of the series and they did. Now, they're heading back home to play two games at the Roy H Johnston Arena and it is sure to be jumpin' at the rink. Tomas Anderson will outplay Cole Plowman and the Blizzard will continue to wear down the defending champions.
Henny's Predictions - Pistons in 6
Henny's Thoughts - Steinbach though is coming off a week-long break, so early in the series might be good for the Blizzard if they can carry momentum from round one. Over the long haul though the Pistons are just too deep, But if Tomas Anderson gets hot (like he did at times against the Kings, it could make this series interesting.
Virden vs Winkler:
Duffy's Prediction - Virden in 6
Duffy's Thoughts: They know how to win games when it matters. They advanced to the league final last year and have all that experience to look back on. They can win high-scoring games and low-scoring games. This series should be a treat, but I'm taking playoff experience overall.
Henny's Prediction - Flyers in 7
Henny's Thoughts - I see this being a seven-game war between two deep teams that love to forecheck and play physically. I took Winkler as the team to win it all this year so I am sticking with them in this series,
