One last note - Seattle played Portland 10 times this season - they were probably a better team than advertised and would have had a better record than they did.
On paper it should have been an easy series (50 points ahead) but this is why they play the games.

Thanks.
With the Canes out of it for so long I haven't paid as much attention to the WHL so missed those things.
3 OT losses is tough and explains a lot.
