Anybody know a good site that is streaming any of these games? Sorry if there are any posted, I just skimmed through this thread kinda fast.
How has Cowen looked this post-season DD?
(And go Tigers!)
This guy knows what he is talking about...Hey John, did Tyler Bunz get hurt, I don't see him on the active roster for the Tigers whan scanning box scores?

Who is the powerhouse in the WHL? Is it the Blades?
woot!! Tigers just punched their ticket to round 2 with a 7-5 win over Brandon tonight. Vey and Etem leading the way again. Keep it going, boys.

Vey was picked by the Kings right? Etem is Ducks property of course.
Correct on both counts...Etem slipped right through the Sharks fingers to the Ducks.
I really believe that Wilson went into the draft with tunnel vision and said we're drafting Coyle and that's it. And so when Etem fell right into the Sharks hands, Wilson didn't even bat an eye.
Another thing that worked against Etem playing for the Sharks is his size (He's listed at 6ft but from what I've heard that's being pretty generous). Take a look at the list of draft picks that Wilson has made and you'll find very few players under 6 feet. It's one of the shortcomings of Wilson as a general manager. He's still in the mindset that small players can't play in the league and it's just not true anymore.
Just to give you an update, Cowen was a beast in game 5. He's playing as well as he ever has in Spokane and that includes the Memorial Cup season. He was great the whole game, but what really caught my eye was the last 90 seconds. The Chiefs were up 5-4, and during that time he stood up Chilliwack on the blue line twice and stole the puck once they got it deep two other times. Chilliwack didn't have one good chance to tie it while he was out there before the Chiefs got an empty netter to seal the win. He was all over the ice all night.
He's turned into a pretty solid offensive player too. He's never gonna light it up and be a 60 point guy or anything like that, but he makes solid plays and outlet passes and he does have a very heavy shot. I honestly wouldn't be shocked if he's in the hardest shot competition at some point in the future. He can really let it fly. He got 18 goals for the Chiefs in the regular season which is more than I thought he was capable of.
Looking forward to round 2!
(And go Tigers!)
