Default WHL Finals: Portland (Wotherspoon) vs Edmonton (Brossoit)

Could also go in the Back Burner section, but I thought there are fans that don't also go there and might be interested.

We might be out of the postseason, but we have a couple prospects that are again deep in the playoffs this year.

The Winterhawks and the Oil Kings meet again in the WHL finals, meaning that we will have two prospects in the Memorial Cup tournament this year (Ferland's Saskatoon Blades are hosts). Well done guys!

Tyler Wotherspoon ‏@TSPOON77
Round 2? I'm down. #payback #ploffs

Laurent Brossoit ‏@LBrossoit
Bring it on baby @TSPOON77 #rematch

Here is the schedule:

Game 1 - Friday May 3 7:00pm at Portland
Game 2 - Saturday May 4 7:00pm at Portland
Game 3 - Tuesday May 7 7:00pm at Edmonton
Game 4 - Wednesday May 8 7:00pm at Edmonton
Game 5 - Friday May 10 7:00pm at Portland *
Game 6 - Sunday May 12 4:00pm at Edmonton *
Game 7 - Monday May 13 7:00pm at Portland *

And here are Wotherspoon's and Brossoit's stats in these playoffs:

Wotherspoon: 15 GP, 2 G + 6 A = 8 P, +8, 16 PIM
Brossoit: 16 GP, 12-1-3, 1.58 GAA, .941% svs, 5 SO

Brossoit is absolutely crazy

Good luck guys!

Loving the trash talk between them, sets up for a good spirit if/when they head to ABB or YYC.

Too early to tell for Reinhart, but aside from Prust, I sure hope this isn't the kiss of death for these guys.

No kidding. Pretty abysmal. I think Reinhart will be an NHL player I'm just not sure if it's going to be top 6 or bottom 6 at this point (I'm inching towards 3rd line center at this point). Brossoit's a pretty good goaltender. Hopefully he can make the leap to the pro ranks.

Brossoit is going to have to be much better in the Portland series than he was in the Calgary series for the OK's to win.

I'm pretty sure Bouma played in the Memorial Cup one year as well. Maybe he hadn't been drafted by the Flames yet?

Yup, they should be pretty well rested considering they were eliminated the first round. They're basically idle for 50 games or something like that. I wonder if they'll do a mini training camp or something to get everyone back into game shape.

He had 2 shutouts, but was made to look very average in a few games by the Hitmen. His GAA went from under 1 before this series to over 1.5 after the series.

Portland's top end offensive talent is substantially better than the top end offensive talent of the Hitmen, so if the Hitmen can make him look average, imagine what the Winterhawks can do to him.

Also, the Hitmen weren't consistent over the series, so he is going to see far more pressure than he did in the East Final.

Bouma appeared in two Memorial Cups before he was drafted by the Flames IIRC.

That would likely be a good step towards McDavid.
