The best thing about the above (aside from Oil Kings playing flying into the bench) is they don't have to re-paint the logo at centre ice again this season at Rogers Place.

These 2nd round series in the Dub are all going the blowout route save for PA - Saskatoon

 

[Judge Fudge]

Well guys. It was a fun ride well it lasted.

@puckhead and @jstewismybastardson . Nice series and good luck the rest of the way.

Till October

Yeah the top 2 spots will likely goto Penguins with Mario and Sid getting #1 and #2 respectively.

Given that it appears to be based on their time in the Q and not their overall careers, I'm actually surprised that Alexander Daigle isn't much higher. I didn't follow the Q when he played but I remember their being tons of hype around him in his draft year, to the point that some suggested the Sens tanked to draft him.

They ended up 2-3 in the rankings. The top 10 were:

1. Guy Lafleur, Quebec Remparts
2. Mario Lemieux, Laval Voisins
3. Sidney Crosby, Rimouski Oceanic
4. Pat LaFontaine, Verdun Juniors
5. Pierre Larouche, Quebec Remparts/Sorel Black Hawks
6. Mike Bossy, Laval National
7. Dale Hawerchuck, Cornwall Royals
8. Brad Richards, Rimouski Oceanic
9. Denis Savard, Montreal Juniors
10. Patrice Lefebvre, Shawinigan Cataractes

Chiefs can’t close Everett out. Game 5 tomorrow night.

I wasn't able to watch or listen to tonight's game, but a friend of mine said the officiating was pretty iffy tonight. Hopefully the Chiefs can close it out tomorrow. Definitely don't want to go back to Everett.

I just followed Twitter, so can’t speak to the officiating. And yes, close out tomorrow.

3-1 Chiefs. 10 minutes left.

2-1. The Chiefs Twitter misled me. They owned up to it though.

Chiefs win and advance!

Huzzah!!

Chiefs held on for sure, Everett mostly controlled the play for the last 30 minutes and the Chiefs had to kill off a double minor the last 3:30 of the game, but Brkin made some incredible saves. I think the 2-3-2 format for this series ended up really benefiting the Chiefs, not sure they win this one if it was in Everett. First appearance in the conference finals since 2011.

Did you go tonight, John?

I did, had a lot of fun. The crowd wasn't super large, but they were really loud and I really think it made a difference helping the Chiefs kill of the penalty at the end.

Pretty sure Vancouver beat Spokane in a very epic 7 game series to get there too. Time for some revenge!

The final 4 in the Dub is set as PA eliminates Saskatoon tonight (eff the Blades, by the way). In the East, it will be PA versus. Edmonton and Spokane vs. Vancouver in the West.
