Kind of interesting in looking at the standings (now that the WHL has switched the front page to a conference format) that the playoff teams have already been decided.
Seattle and Kamloops, 7th and 8th in the West at 40 points are already 13 up on 9th place PG, while Swift Current, 8th in the East, is 11 up on Edmonton. And it wouldn't have mattered if they still used the divisional playoff format either.
Calgary looks to be pulling away from the pack in the East, but that battle for 2nd through 6th looks intersting. Five teams spread out by four points. Spokane, Tri-Cities and Vancouver battling for tops in the West... I like Spokane for that one.
