Prediction:
Should be a great series between two excellent teams. Charlotte should be much stronger on the backline with the addition of Jared Nightingale and Julien Brouillette. Both were playing VERY strong hockey at the American League level and should come and and be a big factor. If Ryan Munce continues his red hot streak between the pipes, nobody should be able to put up big numbers from the Queen City. Offensively, Charlotte is arguably the best team still standing and we’re totally a believer in Derek Wilkinson’s ability to lead. WE are calling this CHECKERS IN SIX.
