Tonight's game is a moot point in my mind because regardless of what happens, no way Brandon is losing four straight. I wasn't a believer at first, I thought we would see a similar team to last season but this team truly wants it and they have learned from their past. Very impressive effort. They totally stepped it up to a different level in this final and they are going to be league championships. Not a matter of if, only when. Hopefully for Seattle they can at least win one at home.
haha but then again who would ever thought Seattle may potentially lose 4 in a row... that's unheard of for this team... Only happened to them once near the start of the season.
I hear you. It isn't impossible but it is quite improbable. Now that Seattle managed to win one, possibly gain momentum (especially if Hawryluk is suspended) that could help them win two. But then they have to win two in a row in Brandon. I don't see that happening. They dug themselves too big a hole to climb out of, IMO. I'd rather see them win but I don't see it being overly realistic now.
The Seattle team we saw in game 4 was the team I thought we would see from the start. Much more physical, aggressive in the neutral zone, not allowing Brandon to utilize their speed and keep most of the play in the offensive zone. Unfortunately for them it came 3 games too late.
You have to give Brandon some credit for that. They were not the second best record in the WHL for no reason. Seattle is a great team, but their usual strengths are not always going to work. If Brandon is on their game they are hard to stop. You can take away their superstars effectively and still have 9 other guys who can put the puck in the net.

If tbirds can win game 5, all of a sudden it becomes very interesting. It was extremely odd for Seattle to lose 3 straight, so why can't it be Brandons turn to strangely lose 3 straight and bring us to an exciting game 7!!
I'm dreaming I know haha... but this is the same tbirds team tjat went something like 28-1-1 in 30 games leading up to the series vs brandon
I would be a teeny bit nervous if I were brandon and don't close it out tonigjt.. especially if Seattle scores a bunch again like they did last game
P.S. .. how good is #8 Scott eansor been.. it's funny cause I've talked to a few people about this series and "that #8 on seattle" comes up WAY more than guys like Barzal, gropp, bear, Patrick , Provorov etc etc
I really hope he's back in seattle next year as an overager but I wouldn't doubt if he signs a free agent deal. He made the USA world junior team this past year and has been awesome this season
When did I not give Brandon any credit? I thought I was very complimentary of their play so far. They far exceeded my expectations. I thought Seattle would present them with problems they hadn't faced in their conference and I wasn't confident in their ability to adapt to that. But for the most part they have been the far better team. It's still one of the closest 3-1 series you can have yet at the same time can be over tonight.
I was simply saying that its also due to Brandons play that Seattle has not been able to play their game, not just because Seattle somehow didn't bring their A games. It was not mentioned in either of the post above so I simple added to them.
It's a combination of both. I don't think Seattle made enough adjustments early on (specifically in the neutral zone) and it seemed to take them a long time to figure that out (why, I cannot understand as their coaching staff should have recognized that almost immediately). It's not like it's a hidden secret how you need to play in order to hang with a team like Brandon. And I believe Seattle has the roster to do so. Needless to say it's probably too little too late now. No suspension for Hawryluk which is a huge boost for Brandon (that was the one thing which could have given Seattle a big advantage tonight) it wouldn't surprise me if they end it tonight. To be selfish I'd rather see the series go on a little longer.
7 games please.
And Hawryluk with an empty netter for the hattrick and the WHL Championship.
gotta Think if barzal's back then they're a Favorite. barzal, Bear, Kolesar as 19 Year olds is dangerous
I don't think Barzal makes the Islanders out of training camp, so I'd say that's a safe bet unless he takes off to Europe or something.gotta Think if barzal's back then they're a Favorite. barzal, Bear, Kolesar as 19 Year olds is dangerous
