No wonder this thread is dead!! Someone comments on the upset of the season, OC beating GSE2, after whines about OC taking the 8th spot from Wave and crickets. What? No comments??? Congrats to OC! Wow!
Yes, OC pulled a Buster Douglas and obviously I'm a little biased but OC never backed down from GSE2 and answered back every time they scored. It was 3-3 going into the 3rd and OC hung in there and with 7 seconds left, OC had the puck and went straight at their D, with time running out, he took a wrister and the puck went 5-hole and took about a whole second for the puck to trickle pass the line... and the place erupted.
It was undoubtedly one of the biggest upset in CAHA and one of the most exciting finish I've ever seen. Sure it's now a little less special since Wada and his boys also took down GSE (Thanks guys LOL!), but to me and my son, it was one of his proudest and clutchest moment in hockey, scoring the tying and winning goal...
I stayed to watch Wada Wave vs GSE2 after we lost to the Bears and watching GSE2, a team that likely didn't learn how to lose this season, how upset their kids were after the 4-2 defeat, I felt bad for them. But I guess that's playoff hockey, nothing is guaranteed and any team can pull an upset, even a 9th seed team.
Good luck to Wave1, Jr Kings1, Bears and GSE1!!!
