[Del Preston]

It will be Calgary-Edmonton in round two.

 

[PBandJ]

Won the season series 7-1, but playoffs are a different monster. Hopefully they shook the nerves off against Medicine Hat and can play the way they're capable of.

 

[Cloned]

It will be Calgary-Edmonton in round two.

I think we matchup better against Calgary than Lethbridge in a series, so this is good news.

[Mez]

Is Friday's game sold out?

 

[Del Preston]

Is Friday's game sold out?

No but the game might not be necessary. They should be releasing tickets for it if the Hitmen win one of the next two games.

 

[Del Preston]

Going to overtime, 1-1. Calgary tied it on a 6-on-3 with a minute left.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Going to overtime, 1-1. Calgary tied it on a 6-on-3 with a minute left.

For some reason, this does not surprise me to see the OK's down two men late in the game up by 1.

 

[Del Preston]

McLeod wins it. Get the brooms ready.

 

[Cloned]

Have to hope PA and Saskatoon goes 7 and they are exhausted on their next series.

 

[oilers'72]

Dylan Miskiw (W 4-2) made 24 saves and was named first star, while Zach Russell had a goal and an assist and was named third star, as the Oil Kings put the Hitmen in a shooting gallery 2-1 in OT to take a 3-0 series lead. Wyatt McLeod scored the OT winner and Quinn Bejafield added an assist. Shots were 29-25 Edmonton. PP was 0/5, PK 4/5. Calgary won 38 of 57 faceoffs.

4-0 good guys halfway through the game.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

This is a beating. 6-0 now. Hitmen getting run out of their own rink.

 

[Beerfish]

GOOD! I can email my nieces husband tonight, he's a big flames and hitman fan and I have been getting the gears all year.

 

[Cloned]

4-0 good guys halfway through the game.

They outshot the Hitman 17-2 in the 2nd period.

 

[Del Preston]

6-0 final. And the other East series is now tied 2-2.

 

[Cloned]

6-0 final. And it looks like the other East series is going to be tied 2-2.

The two best teams in the East are playing in that series, hopefully they wear each other out.

 

[Prairie Oyster]

The two best teams in the East are playing in that series, hopefully they wear each other out.

Blades blew a game 2 lead, they could almost be up 3-1. Still expect Raiders to get it together and come out of that series but making either team go at least 6 games is a help.

 

[PBandJ]

Now we need PA and Saskatoon to beat the crap out of each other for a full 7 games.

 

[Fmrnuckfan95]

Tickets are cheap, everybody should be going out and cheering on the boys. WHL is a lot of fun to watch.
