It was a long road to Belleville’s first ever playoff appearance, as the final month of the season was spent scoreboard watching every night. While the BSens were neck and neck with three or four other teams on any given night, it started to feel like they were playoff bound; they were good.
When they matched up against the Rochester Americans in the first round, I predicted that Belleville would take the series 2-1, citing Belleville’s experience and Rochester’s lack of defensive prowess to be the reason the good guys would come out on top.
