I did some research and here is some information and scouting reports on what Ottawa 67’s can look forward to.

Ottawa 67's vs Mississauga St. Michaels Majors - Round Two Preview

Round two will be a big test for the Ottawa 67's as they are set to face a stonger defensive team in the Mississauga St. Michael's Majors. If you look at the regular season head-to-head stats, it doesn't look to bright for Ottawa. The Majors have gone a perfect 4-0 against the 67's while outscoring them 24-8.

HOWEVER, all four games were played in the first half of the season with the last game being on January 3, 2010. From the beginning of the season (Sep 9/10) until Jan 3/10, the 67's had a winning percentage of only 0.575. Since Jan 3/10, the 67's have had a winning percentage of 0.722. You can easily argue that these are two different teams.

Interestingly enough, Corey Cowick - the hero in the Niagara series - returned from his long injury on Jan 9/10, only two games after that final loss vs the Majors.

Here's a quick run down on the stats (IN THE REGULAR SEASON)

Ottawa 67's vs Niagara IceDogs - Round One Preview

Ottawa 67's will be looking for revenge after getting knocked out by the Niagara IceDogs after seven hard fought games in the first round of the 2009 OHL Playoffs.

Don't be fooled by the point differential in the standings between the Ottawa 67's & Niagara IceDogs. Judging by their games during the regular season, I think it's safe to say we are in for not only an exciting, but also a long series.

Here's a quick few stats to kick of the playoffs...
