Kamloops is heating up again. They have looked like a much better team ever since a huge 6-5 comeback OT win over Kelowna a couple weeks ago. Seem to have a bit of their swagger back.
Kelowna has finally cooled off a bit. Lost three straight and barely beat Everett the other night. They'll be fine down the stretch, but likely won't go on another 19-1 run like before.
Portland is far better than everybody right now. Had the privilege of checking them out this past weekend. They are full of swagger, know they are better than everybody and go out and clinically destroy teams every game.
At one point against Kelowna, they were killing a penalty and sent three guys on a routine rush the other way; turned the puck over for a 3 on 1 for Kelowna, and still got back in time to break it up.
Nic Petan could be the first 17-year old to win the WHL scoring title since Pavel Brendl. He'll be a first-rounder this year.
