Oh I disagree. If push comes to shove Seattle has plenty of willing combatants. The Cougars aren't as tough as they think, IMO. Especially without Anderson. They do play a more heavy game consistently but Seattle can match that, plus they have a lot more skill. I still don't think that is a good match up for the Cats. I think they would have a better chance against this version of the Rockets. If the game is called right (no tick tacky penalties like the regular season) the Cougars should have better success against a team like the Rockets. They wouldn't be able to rely on their PP to win games. Teams that rely on that during the regular season often struggle because it isn't as prevalent in the post season. The players are allowed to play which is how it should always be, IMO.
Which is another reason I'm not as big on Victoria as most. They aren't a big heavy team like in years past. They are the opposite. It's helped them this regular season but if they have to play against a physical team in the playoffs can they overcome that? It's a good question. Unfortunately that series against Spokane doesn't interest me in the least. It's too bad because I'll be in Victoria this weekend. Maybe I'll buy tickets for Friday if I'm not doing anything else and there are any available. I suppose looking into that first might be a good idea.
