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

I’m hoping to be able to go once they release the 3rd round schedule. I had to give my tix away for games 1/2 vs Calgary as I was sick with deadly man cold last weekend and felt like crap.

Nice we swept the CHL team with the worst name, jersies and logo that plays in the worst city.

Let’s hope that happens to their NHL team starting tomorrow.

The OKs run ends here I think, unfortunately.

If they beat PA it'll be a pretty big upset.

I dunno man, the boys have come together and are playing for each other. They played PA tight in the RS too. I can smell an upset.

Solid 5-1 win to take a 2-1 series lead. Game 4 tomorrow night, huge must-win game in my opinion. Don't want to go back to P.A. tied up at 2 a piece.

Yeah but that's junior hockey. As you get older you (usually) get better and every team goes through cycles of players.
We finished dead last, last year. Yes, there is generally improvement as young players mature, and really, when you finish last, there is nowhere to go but up. But to go from that to leading the 3rd round and doing it in fairly dominant fashion only one year later, is rather impressive.
