Ya I HATE that series for you guys... and I HATE seeing Kamloops have to play Kelowna too... IMO Everett should take Victoria quite easily and Seattle should take Tri quite easily
Im hoping PG and Kamloops both make it through, but I really don't know if it will happen
I posted this in another forum...
I think this series will be won or lost with the games in Portland. PG should be okay at home, but they will need to make hay on the road or this will be a long series.
Of the 11 goals allowed in Portland:
1 was on the PP
6 were against the 4th line (at the time of the fist game the 4th line was considerably different)
1 was an empty net
3 were against other lines.
If you remove the specialty goals (EN and PP) we are left with 66.6 percent of goals scored against the 4th line. Simple solution, don't play the 4th line in Portland, give them spot duty in PG.
