No clear-cut Memorial Cup favourite but Otters will be tough out

WINDSOR — Kris Knoblauch doesn’t want the Erie Otters anywhere near the WFCU Centre on Friday.

The Otters coach knows, however, he can’t really stop his players from watching the opening game of the 2017 Memorial Cup on television at the team hotel.

In fact, Knoblauch was certain his captain, Dylan Strome, would be glued to the TV.

“I know with Dylan I won’t be able to keep him away from the TV because he loves hockey and he wants to know every single player, he might even be watching how they win faceoffs and all those tendencies,” Knoblauch said on Thursday.
