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)
