The best of fives are mostly concluded and who might one think would be on top in playoff point scoring..a Blade, a Raider, a Terrier, a Vee, an Otter perchance? Nary one of those but a young man from Didsbury, a small town of just over four thousand inhabitants, a farming community near Calgary and Red Deer. Mike Arnold was second in point scoring for the Orangeville Crushers in the regular season. He had a team-leading 29 goals and 48 overall points. Now you are probably saying that not everyone from Didsbury wears overalls..but joking apart..Mike, who recently turned twenty, had eleven points including seven goals in Orangeville's four game series against the North York Rangers including hat tricks in the third and fourth games. He also managed to pick up an assist in the club's only loss 4-1 in game two. Well done Mike.

Teammate Jarrod Connolly did not do too shabbily either and sits in fourth spot. The native of Chateauguay, Quebec had four points in game three and eight in total for the series.

Lookout though, the big boys are right behind Mike as Mackenzie Micks and Matt Smyth of the Terriers are tied in second spot with nine points after their three game series against the Bruins.

..as a result of Tuesday night's games the Buzzers duo of Reilly Smith and Erik Axell have jumped into the point leaders fray as each tallied four against the J.C's. Both Smith and Axell have ten points in the playoffs so far. Smith, a Mimico native, is in his first full season with St. Mike's and garnered 75 points in regular games. Axell played 42 games this past season with the Buzzers the same as in 2007/8 but increased his points total from 22 to 50. All ten of the 6'4"forward's points in this season's playoffs are assists.

Following Wednesday night's big win the Buzzers duo of Axell and Smith are now co-leaders with a dozen points each while teammate and capitano Greg Miller moves into a tie with Arnold on eleven. Cody Smith's one goal in the last game moves the Toronto player up to fifth on ten points.

Despite the fact that their team has been eliminated from further action the Buzzers' duo of Eric axell and Reilly Smith continues to lead all playoff point-getters with 15 each. Of course this lead will not last much longer. Cody Smith of Toronto has fourteen points with his team awaiting further playoff action. The Crushers' Mike Arnold, the Stars Trevor McKinney and the Buzzers captain Greg Miller are all on thirteen. Two more Junior Canadiens sit at 12- Skylar Quinn and Kelly Jackson. Rounding out the upper echelon are the Vees' Mike Farrell and Brock Higgs, Mackenzie Micks of Couchiching, another J.C. in Paul Chiasson and Chad Sumsion of the Hurricanes. They all have eleven points.

Update- Arnold now leads the playoff point scorers by two points. He has ten goals and seventeen points and now his team is guaranteed at least two more games so he should be at the forefront for a while. Next in active players is Cody Smith of Toronto on 15 points followed on 14 by teammate Skylar Quinn and Mackenzie Micks of the Terriers. Trevor McKinney of the Stars and Brad Fleishman of the Vipers are tied with thirteen.
