I think the Oil Kings are set. They have the better goalie by far, the better D, and a fairly comparable offense. Baertschi and Rattie will take them to the wall in 6-7 games though.

I have no idea how many games the series goes too, but I think it's going to be a close series. Portland has been playing a much better team game since their 3 losses in the second round against Kamloops. Their defence and resulting goal tending has been much better since then. While their high end goal scoring has dropped off a bit, their depth players have been chipping in more, and their defensive play is much, much better than it was in the 1st and 2nd round.
