That Kootenay/Portland series is going to be interesting on several fronts:

1.) Battle between the two best goalies in the WHL (Brossoit and Lieuwen). Ty Rimmer finished with a better GAA, but Lieuwen and Brossoit were #1 and #2 in GAA for the majority of the season.

2.) Can Reinhart shut down St. Croix? He was able to absolutely shut down Howden, Schenn, Etem/Vey, as well as Baertschi/Johansen/Rattie/Niederreiter somewhat.

3.) Can Max (and Sam) outwork/out-battle his brother?

4.) Can Leach sufficiently shut down Edmonton's top players?

It's going to be a fun series to watch for sure.

EDIT - But yeah, the greedy part of me wants Portland, Brandon, and Kootenay to fail so those prospects can help the Heat make the playoffs and maybe go far in the playoffs.
