This from an article on Yahoo! Sports:
According to Buzzing The Net statistician, Rob Pettapiece, the Sea Dogs have a 98 percent probability of beating Cape Breton in their first round matchup with the most likely outcome being a four-game sweep.
That is some mind blowing stuff.
The Yahoo! article is a good read and includes quotes
from Mike Kelly and Stephen MacAulay. Over at Buzzing The Net, they have the
odds for the other seven first-round series as well.
Some other stuff:
- A special promotion offering $10 upper-bowl tickets to Game 1 has been extended through Tuesday. Tickets to both games are available by calling the arena box office at (506) 657-1234 or by visiting www.tickets.harbourstation.ca.
- Per a Sea Dogs release, “Friday night’s match will feature a special pre-game ceremony in which QMJHL Commissioner Gilles Courteau will present the Sea Dogs with the Jean Rougeau Trophy as regular season champions for the third straight season, a feat that has never been accomplished in league history.”
- Jonathan Brunelle was the Danick Gauthier of the Screaming Eagles awards banquet last night.
- Friend-of-the-blog Jeremy Fraser has a solid series preview up on the Eagles website.
Game 1 is Friday night at 8pm at Harbour Station. The
match can be seen live on Sportsnet.
