WHL Championship Final

If Game 1 is any indication, this won't be much of a series - Calgary 7, Tri-City zip

I so wish I could watch CHL hockey in the states. Lucky friggin' Canadians...

They had the game tape delayed on FSN so it's the 2nd intermission right now. I quit watching and just looked online to see the final. Calgary looked very good that for sure, but the Americans are a better team than this. It's only 1 game and if you're gonna have a stinker the best game to do it in is game 1. Tri-City can still take home ice away from Calgary with a win tonight. Gotta shake this one off.

Looks like tonight's game is tape delayed until 12:30 AM tomorrow morning. Ugh...

The good part is Tri-City finally managed a goal on Martin Jones. The bad news is they already gave up 3. A lot of time left though. Maybe the Ams can make a game of it.

Watching this game in HD (Shaw channel 311). I guess I'm cheering for Calgary, but as J knows, I'm a Tigers fan.

4-1 Calgary final score. Series continues in Kennewick, WA for game 3.

Well at least Tri was able to win a game. It doesn't look good heading back to the Saddledome down 3-1 though. Still Pechurskiy has played light years better than Owsley and if the Ams can steal game 5, then you have game 6 back in Kennewick and things could get very interesting (see Montreal/Washington series).

Just wanted to say congratulations to the Calgary Hitmen for winning the WHL championship and earning the WHL's berth into the Memorial Cup!

WHL has a 50% chance of bringing the Memorial Cup back to where it belongs. I'd like to see Calgary win it, but the Spitfires look like the team to beat.
