I have a hard time believing the Thunderbirds will handle the Rockets in 5 games.... Series will likely go 6 or 7. Kelowna is the defending champions and just eliminated the top team in the WHL in Victoria. Honestly the series could go either way but a 5 game series win for Seattle while starting on the road is a lofty prediction.

I agree, Seattle in 5 is a little quick. I think the series will be longer than that. The article brings up Seattle's stingy defence but ignores the fact that the Rockets just eliminated the Royals who allowed 20 less goals over the regular season, good for #1 in the league. That being said, Seattle has allowed 13 goals in 9 games so the Rockets will definitely be in tough. I really think if they can shut down the Barzal/Gropp line they have a solid chance in this series.

We were smoking the wrong stuff. Should have said Seattle in 4.
