WHL Talk - 2018/19 Season

[brocoli]

Yeah, Medicine Hat's goaltending was the scariest to me as Sogaard had the ability to turn it on. I would be worried as an OK fan about frustration setting in with a hot goalie

[MoneyGuy]

I’m an OKs fan and don’t sorry about frustration, just about beating the kid in their net.

Canes are a dirty team for taking out Kastelic

Hoping the Hitmen tie the series up and eventually send the mormons back to the hills

Tigers got owned hard tonight.

Oil Kings have totally dominated three of the four games so far. This series might be over if not for Sogaard.

I guess its cool to ignore the fact that Kastelic elbowed Bellerive in the head before he got punched in the head.

Nevermind the nasty cross check into the boards (borderline dirty) by the Hitmen player (believe it was Coleman) that started the whole sequence.

Really exciting 6-3 win for the Blazers last night to tie their series with the Royals and guarantee a game 6 back in the Loops on Monday.

[Drake]

The more we hear about the Kody McDonald incident, the more I think he should be lucky he didn't leave the arena in a police car. I don't see how the league can let him play again either.

He swong his stick into the bench TWICE and then making contact with both linesmen trying to throw a punch into the bench. Almost broke the trainers glass.

Involved in another incident with vendor staff under the stands while coming off ice. A couple of high school students taking the garbage out from concessions.


Victoria's coach says there were over-the-line comments made from the Kamloops bench that provoked McDonald. This should be investigated and, if true, appropriate punishment should be given there as well. But this does not excuse, justify, or minimize McDonald's actions.

Must be cooler to retaliate by injuring a skilled player to where they can’t play for the rest of the post season. Absolute bush league

Glad the Hitmen tied the series up. Momentum is on their side

[Roof-Daddy]

No surprise but PA and Saskatoon both sweep their 1st round series. 2nd year in a row where arguably the two best teams in the league are SSK based and will have to face each other in just the 2nd round.

Wow, brutal. I hope the indefinite suspension stays indefinite.

[Resolute 14]

Well, he's a 20 year old with no future in the game. So if they punt him for the playoffs, that's what it will be.

Drama much? Kastelic is playing.

Happy to hear he’s back. It still doesn’t excuse the canes’ dirty antics

Happier to see the Hitmen win game 5

Hope they put them away tomorrow at the Dome

[Roof-Daddy]

Not overly surprising that the Canes inability to play any sort of team defense all year is catching up to them in the playoffs.

A 1st round exit will be really disappointing with all the weapons they have on offense. Especially after entering the post season on an 8 game win streak and then starting the series off with two wins.

Just brutal.

[Roof-Daddy]

Vancouver, Everett and Spokane all end their series last night. Portland decimated by injuries goes out with a whimper.

They pulled Tetachuk then pulled the other goalie after the 2nd. How often do you see that? Defense hasn't been great but goaltending has also let them down.

Yeah, definitely a combo of the two for sure.
