WHL Playoff Predictions: Wicked Matchups in First Round

[Larry Fisher]

The puck drops on the Western Hockey League playoffs tonight with several legitimate contenders for the Ed Chynoweth Cup and a handful of tantalizing first-round matchups. Expect more seven-game series than four-game sweeps, but the majority of the favourites should make it through to the second round. Here are my predictions: https://thehockeywriters.com/whl-playoff-predictions-first-round/

Ouchie...Moose Jaw Warriors got crushed in game 1 at home.

5-1 down after two, they did score 2 goals in third, but still
when you are 0 and 7 on PP at home + out shot 38-24,
you got crushed, totally.

Broncos shot out Pats 3-0 in game 1. Skinner the hero with 34 saves.

Kelowna swept in four...sweet..

Raiders vs warriors game 7 upcoming. Should be good. PA is a resilient team hope the pull off the upset.

Winterhawks still hold the road ice advantage over Spokane... but it's squeaky bum time. Win tonight or problems ensue.

Holy God boys and girls did I see hockey game tonight...congrats to the Royals for winning game 7....the stain of 0.2 is at least partially erased..Matthew Phillips blocked a shot with his face at the very end of the game covering the point shot..helluva game..helluva effort.

Full marks to the Giants.....great year, great series, good to see them back as significant force in the Dub.
