What's the fun if it's not a challenge?
For the third time in as many OHL post-season series, Oilers D prospect Dmitri Samorukov and the Guelph Storm waited until their backs were against the wall to turn up the heat. After going down 3-0 in their second-round series vs. the London Knights, they went on to rattle off four-straight to move on. Down 3-1 in their OHL Eastern Conference Final vs. the Saginaw Spirit? No worries, they'd go on to force Game 7 and finish it off.
Bring on the Ottawa 67's and a chance at the OHL Championship. Guelph quickly found themselves down 2-0 in the series. The 67's had not lost a game en route to their appearance in the Championship series. Enter the Storm in Game 3 and a subsequent four straight victories to capture the OHL title on Sunday afternoon in dramatic fashion; perhaps the way they prefer it.
And it was Oilers defensive prospect Samorukov who continued to shine when it mattered most, tallying two goals and adding two helpers in the 8-3 Game 6 victory that would lift Guelph to their first J. Ross Robertson Cup since 2014 and fourth in franchise history as winners of the OHL playoffs.
