On Friday, April 6th, the Winterhawks opened their Kal Tire WHL Western Conference semi-final in Portland hosting the Kamloops Blazers.

Edmonton - Brandon is 1-1 midway through the second period. Ferland had an assist on the Wheat Kings goal and now has 3 goals and 3 assists in 8 games. Brossoit is in net for the Oil Kings and has 12 saves so far.

[malcolmk14]

Bartschi and the Hawks play at 8:00, looking to go up 3-0 on Kamloops.

[Textcritic]

Baertschi with another assist.

[JurassicTunga12]

as usual

[Scoutski]

Is anyone else hoping for a Oil Kings vs Portland WHL Final? There are plenty of exciting guys in both those teams including a few flames prospects. Would be awesome!

[Stay Golden]

1-0 Portland so far.

[getbak]

Oil Kings win 5-1 and Brossoit gets his 7th straight win. He has a 1.71 GAA through 7 games.

Ferland had an assist on Brandon's only goal.

[Stay Golden]

1-1

[getbak]

3-1 after two quick shorthanded goals for the Winterhawks. No points on either shorty for Baertschi or Rattie.

I'm not watching the game but it sounds like Kamloops really dropped the ball allowing 2 SHG on the same PP in their arena

[Notorious Honey Badger]

Barrie up 2-1 against Ottawa in their OHL series. No thread for OHL side of the playoffs and I didn't think it'd be thread worthy. I'm following cuz the Jets top prospects in the CHL are involved. Everyone knows Scheifeile of course being the Jets 1st pick ever, but Ivan Telegin is for me a darkhorse star in the making. He, like Scheifele is better than PPG all season and he's been amazing this playoffs. He potted 2 assists tonight and Scheifele added a goal.

[getbak]

Kamloops score on the PP, but the Winterhawks get it back shortly after. Brad Ross with a hat trick tonight.

No points for Baertschi or Rattie on the last 3 Hawks goals. That's only happened once before in these playoffs (3 consecutive goals without Sven or Rattie getting a point).

[Samiz]

Only 1 point in a 4 goal game? Wow looks like another bust for the Flames...
