The Kingston Frontenacs are on their last life in the Eastern Conference Final.
They are down 3-0 against the Hamilton Bulldogs, and now have to beat the team four games in a row.
It’s a difficult feat to achieve, as the Bulldogs finished the season in first place in the Eastern Conference, 12 points ahead of the Fronts.
Kingston won four games in a row in their first two series of the 2018 playoffs, but former sports director Mark Potter says it’s a tough spot for any hockey team to be in.
“The fourth one is the toughest one to win. Kingston’s dug a very big hole here, no question about that. It’s great to see them get through two rounds of playoffs, but this third one is going to be a steep hill to climb.”
Statistics show going against a team like the Bulldogs, the Fronts may have their hands full. In the first three games combined the Bulldogs outscored the Frontenacs 16-4.
Game Three was a closer one, with a final score of 3-1. Frontenac fans like Ben Vandenberg aren’t giving up hope yet, though.
“They’re coming out skating hard, they are obviously in the Eastern Conference final for a reason. I think they have a chance if they can get their heart out start playing like this can.”
