ohh haha whoops miscommunication there on my part. I don't really hate the kings they're just the most boring of the cup contenders. Kick em down sharks

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...

[Ninetales]

Ha yeah id cheer for the oil kings. I like Portland mainly because I had a friend who used to play goal for them a few years ago

[Paul Smeenus]

Well we'll be at odds then. The Oil Kings are good but the Winterhawks are better.

[Paul Smeenus]

My three favorite WHL teams are 1. The Silvertips 2. The Winterhawks. 3. Whoever is playing The Thunderbirds.

[Paul Smeenus]

Now listening to Rangers/Flyers game four. I think the Flyers will hold serve on home ice & the series becomes a best of three (like most of the other series)

Portland is just PUMMELING the Kelowna Rockets 6-2. Bring on the Oil Kings

*edit: make that 7-2

Its about high time Seattle got an NHL hockey team, I was hoping the Phoenix Coyotes were going to fold.

Only a matter of time though, and I'll be one of the first to drive across the line and get a ticket when the NHL moves in.

Damn! As a Canadian it baffles me how tropical & hot arid regions of the States can land a hockey team, but we don't have one in Seattle, or Quebec for that matter. I guess its all about the facility. ...sigh next stop Las Vegas.
