This is it, do or die. We need everybody to show up at 100%. None of the crap we were doing in February.

this Western conference playoff race is insane....
Everett should beat Royals pretty easily
Seattle should beat Tri pretty easily....
PG and Portland will be a massive battle
Kam and Kel will be a massive battle too
good lord
Im predicting Everett, Seattle, PG and Kelowna onto round 2
and in the East I think Regina, MJ, MH and Leth will move on to round 2
*Just heard Barzal is probably going to miss tonights game still with the whole mumps/no mumps situation and also their starter goalie Toth is hurt still....Seattle is going with their 16 year old Stankowski in net. I still expect Seattle to win regardless

I'm not saying we will, but the sweeps and 5-game predictions seem unrealistic to me (yes, I know Everett swept us in the season, but we do have a significantly healthier lineup to start the playoffs than most of the season)
The broadcast audio quality is brutal on Neulion and the radio broadcast is like 30 seconds ahead

It's usually ahead or behind if you try listening to the away teams audio feed. You have to stick with the home teams feed if you want the video and audio to sync.

I'm a little late on predictions but I'll post them anyway.
I like Kelowna over Kamloops in 6 or 7. I'm happy this series is televised as I have the most interest viewing this one. The series last season between these two teams was the most entertaining, IMO.
I'm picking Portland over Prince George in 6 or 7 as well. I would rather see the Cats win but personally I never thought too highly of the team at any point (even after all the deals). Something seems off and has for a while in my opinion. I don't think very highly of Portland either but heading into the post season I think their game is a bit stronger.
I think Everett will beat Victoria in 6. I hope the Royals can somehow pull it off but like Prince George there is something about the Royals that seems off to me. They should be better than they are. Everett typically chokes in the playoffs and in the past with Constantine teams when the physicality picks up they fold like a cheap tent. The Royals have the bodies to play that type of game but if the officials decide to be whistle happy that will only make the task of beating Everett that much more difficult.
I believe Seattle should beat Tri-City without much trouble. I'll pick Seattle in 5.
In the east I'll take Regina over Calgary in 5, Moose Jaw over Swift Current in 6, Medicine Hat over Brandon in 6 and Lethbridge over Red Deer in 6 as well. That series is another I would like to watch more closely but I am not getting the playoff package this season for the first time.

I went to games 1 and 2 in Regina. Game 1 was a lot closer than the final score indicated, bit of a feeling out process by both teams. Game 2 tonight was not nearly as close and also felt a lot more like a playoff game, lots of emotion and chippiness.
I could see Regina and Medicine Hat winning in 4 or 5. I think the other series in the East are going to be a lot closer. The West has a lot more parity this year, no idea who will come out of that Conference.

Go Royals! Last year's elimination was... heartbreaking and weird. Different team this year of course but still hoping they can make a good run.

Victoria had a 2-0 lead in game 7 going into the third period.
Fisher accidentally knocked the 2-1 goal into his own net on what was a pretty harmless looking play.
The seconds were ticking away late in the third with Victoria still holding onto a 1-goal lead. There was a scrum in the corner and the puck came out to Fisher, who made a weak clearing attempt that Kelowna quickly converted into the game-tying goal with 0.2 seconds left.
Kelowna would then win it in overtime.
