The Windsor Spitfires beat the QMJHL champion Drummondville Voltigeurs<\/a> last night 3-2 in overtime (the link goes to my live blog of the game).<\/p>\n

The OHL Champion Spitfires dropped their first two games of the Memorial Cup tournament (to Drummondville<\/a> and Rimouski<\/a>) before beating Western powerhouse Kelowna<\/a> to force a tiebreaker on Thursday night vs. Rimouski.\u00a0 The Spits were down two goals entering the 3rd period in that game, but Leaf prospect Dale Mitchell scored 3 goals in 3:33 of the third period to propel the Spits into the lead;\u00a0 Windsor won the game 6-4<\/a> to earn a berth in the last night’s semi-final vs. Drummondville.\u00a0 In other words, the Spits have taken the hardest possible road to get to the Cup Final.\u00a0\u00a0 A physically large and very talented Kelowna Rockets club has been waiting since Wednesday night, watching the other 3 teams clobber each other in an effort to get to the Final.\u00a0 If the Spits win the Memorial Cup, they will be the first team to do so by going through the tiebreaker procedure in the history of the tournament.<\/p>\n
