After a first round where there were no surprises, the top eight squared off in round two of the OHL playoffs.<\/p>\n
The second round was just as entertaining. The Hamilton Bulldogs had a tight five-game series with the Niagara IceDogs, while the Kingston Frontenacs shut down the Barrie Colts’ high-powered trio. The Kitchener Rangers and Sarnia Sting squared off in a back-and-forth series, while the Owen Sound Attack proved the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds can be beaten.<\/p>\n
With the final four set, the battles for the championship trophies will begin. The Greyhounds and Rangers square off for the Wayne Gretzky<\/a> Trophy. In the East, the Bulldogs and Frontenacs battle it out for the Bobby Orr<\/a> Trophy.<\/p>\n Bulldogs:<\/strong> 1st<\/sup>in Eastern Conference; 43-18-4-3, 93 points; 252 goals-for, 207 goals-against<\/p>\n Frontenacs:<\/strong> 3rd<\/sup>in Eastern Conference; 36-23-6-3, 81 points; 243 goals-for, 202 goals-against<\/p>\n The Bulldogs split the first two games against Ottawa but cruised through the next three. After getting out of round one in five games, they were face-to-face with the IceDogs. The first three games went to overtime, but Hamilton rode a 2-1 series lead to another five-game win. After an early scare in Game 1 against North Bay, Kingston won four-straight to close out round one. It was more of the same in round two, as they dropped the first two games against Barrie. The Frontenacs rebounded once again, however, moving on in six games.<\/p>\n Revenge is a dish best served cold. <\/p>\n Bulldogs look for playoff redemption TONIGHT! <\/p>\n Get a ticket to tonights game and Fridays and save! > https:\/\/t.co\/iY4Lb3J7hs<\/a>#BulldogsAssemble<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/OMUUpMHCD7<\/a><\/p>\n — Brantford Bulldogs (@BulldogsOHL) April 18, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\nHamilton Bulldogs vs Kingston Frontenacs<\/h2>\n
