Windsor is in similar spot as Saskatoon Blades was in few years ago, knocked out in first round.
Now just waiting for Memorial Cup, becoming very cold due to lack of play.
Best chances of winning the Memorial Cup is between 3 league Champions now, whomever that will be.

And they're off to Seattle, saw the bus go by this am. Saw that someone was trying to put a fan bus together, wonder if she got the numbers she needed. Would have loved to have gone but other committments for the weekend already.
Go Rockets

[GordonH]

Receive an email back from Shaw, huge bummer they will be airing Eastern Finals. Kelowna makes it passed Seattle they will be airing WHL Championships.

So all those former Regina & Lethbridge residents get to see them play.

[Glacier]

Sadly, I don't think Seattle will be able to beat them.

[Bubalouie]

If you really want to watch it you can but it's 6.99 or something through WHL network

digging up my account from last year as we speak. not sure if I will but getting things in order in case it works out.

[GordonH]

9 goals scored between Seattle & Kelowna, unfortunately Seattle got 5 of those goals.
Its only game 1, as always I'm good with a split.

[GordonH]

Kelowna needs to have win tonight, then come back to home ice.

[GordonH]

Rockets win in OT, series is tied at 1 a piece.

[jaz301]

What a beauty goal that was by Reid Gardiner!!!

[Glacier]

This is getting depressing. Come on, Seattle, you can play better than that.
