2009 Hitmen/WHL Playoffs

[Resolute 14]

lol, I wasn't intending to question you... just given the referees calling this game, a good call is downright shocking! Especially since I am listening to the Vancouver radio broadcast, which is just disgustingly biassed.

[MelBridgeman]

Either way the whistle had gone before the puck went into the net...TV isnt much better with Giants usual radio color guy Bill Whilms doing TV color...and the notrious canuck hater, but giants lover and my hero , Dan Russel doing pbp

[MelBridgeman]

brutal play by Kane..PP Chiefs

[Resolute 14]

Mr. Russell is a pretty deep commentator... "Next goal is huge in this series."

Ya think?

[LockedOut]

Vancouver wins. Going to game 7.

[MelBridgeman]

giants win in OT

[Resolute 14]

and Kane wins it for Vancouver. Russell is so excited he killed the radio feed.

[johnnyluv]

Edge Vancouver now? They rebounded decently from losing in the 4th overtime.

[Resolute 14]

Definitely an edge going to a game 7 on home ice.

Kelowna is going to destroy whoever wins though.

[604flames]

So I go out of town for the long weekend, and I miss the two best games of the series and the season... Tomorrow should be a dandy, but R14 you're right Kelowna is scary good.

Kris Foucault tops the list of draft eligible Hitmen, sitting at 96th among NA skaters. Brandon Kozun is 150th, and Bonsor and Schaber highlight the also-rans.

I think either Spokane or Vancouver could have given Kelowna a run if not for the fact that they are playing game 9 tonight in Vancouver.

Due to Backlund being with Kelowna, I do hope that they go the whole way and win it all. Memorial Cup! Go Rockets

The long OT's with Tri-City didn't hurt Spokane last year going into the finals against Lethbridge.

And don't discount the possibility that the WHL delays the series start if the Giants to win to ensure that Don Hay's team gets a big break to rest up.

Fingers crossed they'll show this series on Shaw.

[Flickered Flame]

^^^If the Giants pull this game out, I have to think that Shaw will go with Vancouver and Kelowna.

[MelBridgeman]

I think they alternate, don't they

[LockedOut]

Vancouver and Spokane going to OT once again. Game 7 tied at 0-0. They've already played about 5 periods worth of OT.

[MelBridgeman]

go chiefs!

[MelBridgeman]

giants win
