Man, those Junior A playoffs really snuck up on me last week. Got burned real bad today trying to compile all those Money Ballers digits from a slew of games already in the books since last week.

Of the 30 or so guys that made the grade during this heated first round of the post-season, 15 of ‘em were also on our last regular season edition of The Money Ballers.

The usual names, guys like Cody Jamieson (who of course is leading the pack), Jesse Guerin (who’s provin’ his Money Ballers dominance was no fluke during the regular season) and Corey Small (who’s factored in on every A’s game winner so far in their series), are all there again, but we also have a host of guy’s that have stepped it up and are postin’ those clutch points that we didn’t really seem ‘em doing during the season.

I’m talkin’ bout Shaun Dhaliwal in Burnaby (12 Money Ballers Pts during regular season vs. 11.5 already in the post-season), Kiel Matisz in Burlington (14.5 vs. 11 already)and the guy that’s played for the NLL’s Portland Lumberjax, Iroquois’ U19’s at the Worlds and the Akwesasne Indians, all within the last three months, we’re talkin’ Pistol Pete Jacobs (14 vs. 8.5 already). All three are tearin’ it up at a way faster rate in the playoffs than they were just a couple weeks back.

Anyways, things aren’t slowin’ down any, cuz we’ve got two game fives goin’ down in St. Kitts and Orangeville tonight, plus Alberta is about to kick things off after the Edmonton Eclipse just ran off a beauty of a season, going undefeated from start-to-finish (congrats boys!).

So here are this year’s best clutch guys in the post-season so far…
