A Tigers losing ground in playoff hopes"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><strong>By Jake Courtepatte<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Despite scraping together less than a handful of wins over the regular season, the start of the York-Simcoe Minor Hockey League playoffs looked positive for the Midget A Tigers.<\/p>\n<p>On the back of a 3 \u2013 3 tie with the Richmond Hill Stars, the Tigers were looking to make an impact in the play-in round to kick off the postseason.<br \/>\nThe four-way battle between East Gwillimbury, Newmarket, Richmond Hill and Aurora began with a matchup against the East Gwillimbury Eagles, winners of four of their last five games.<\/p>\n<p>It was d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu for the Tigers as they once again found themselves in a 3 \u2013 3 tie.<\/p>\n<p>Monday night was a different story of defensive breakdowns.<\/p>\n<p>Although they found the most success against the Stars during the regular season, beating them twice, the Tigers were unable to match their success, eventually falling 4 \u2013 1.<\/p>\n<p>The Tigers have their work cut out for them Thursday night, as they look to pick up some points against the undefeated Eagles on the road.<br \/>\nThey will have over a full week to recover before hosting the Newmarket Redmen on February 8.<\/p>\n<a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single
