[Royal Canuck]

Just thought I'd put this up to discuss the general league talk for this weird, shortened season.

So far, looks like Edmonton, Everett and Saskatoon are the early three favorites.

What Bedard is doing is incredible, nobody has taken the league by storm this way, this fast.

Mathew Ward, Zach Benson and Conor Geekie have all been outstanding. Riley Heidt scored his first in the WHL last night as well.

\No doubt impressive. But the Western Conference has played 5 or 6 less games. So gear down.

Too bad Matt Savoie isn't part of this rookie party... oh well, maybe next year.

I've been enjoying this season for sure, the only other thing I could ask for is some sort of playoffs. Maybe the top two teams in each division square off and then advance to a final four at a bubble site somewhere? A guy can dream...

It's really too bad we won't get to see an Edmonton vs. Everett or Brandon vs. Medicine Hat playoff series this year.

Oh well, the WHL did their job and pulled through on their promise of a 24-game season, with the current situation it's probably for the best that the year wraps up after that.
