In the land of the teenage goaltender, the swift playmaking winger is king -- at least until he goes head to head with an even swifter playmaking winger. Before Mitch Marner ended (RW) Jeremy Bracco's season, the story of the OHL playoffs had some repeated refrains. One of them was: "Ryan MacInnis from Bracco and Brandon Robinson." The other one was: "Bracco from Robinson and MacInnis."
The very last quarterfinal game pitted the Kitchener Rangers against the Windsor Spitfires, and saw Bracco’s line garner nine points. This was the most points the line earned in a single game during the playoffs -- in the next four games against Mitch Marner’s London Knights, the Rangers occasionally outshot but never outscored the eventual Cup-winning team.
