In WHL news, Portland & Kelowna are playing for the West, Edmonton and Medicine Hat are in the East finals. The Winterhawks (who became my team once the Silvertips were eliminated) split games one and two in the Okanogan, then when the series moved to my hometown the Hawks won a THRILLING OT game three in much the same way as CBJ beat the Penguins last night. Then game 4 was all Winterhawks 5-1, putting the CHL's top ranked Rockets on the precipice of elimination three games to one.
Edmonton, as expected, leads their series with Medicine Hat 3-1, so it's looking like the Winterhawks and Oil Kings are on a collision course for the right to play for the Ed Chynoweth Cup.
Curious if Nine would have a favorite in that series, you mentioned earlier that you root for Portland to some degree...
