Shaw TV announced today that they will be carrying the Saskatoon vs. Lethbridge series in the first round.
I think it's a good choice....although I am a bit surprised that they chose it over the Kelowna/Kamloops series, since Shaw's order of preference is usually Vancouver, Calgary, Kelowna. Obviously the Vancouver and Calgary series were not good choices for Shaw in the first round since they are (on paper anyway) likely to be one-sided games and the series over quickly. Perhaps they felt the Rockets/Blazers series was also going to be one-sided, seeing as how the Rockets were 9-0 against Kamloops this year.
In which case, Lethbridge-Saskatoon is a good choice....two decent sized markets, Saskatoon is the #3 overall team in the league, and Lethbridge is a lot of people's pick for a darkhorse in this year's postseason. Brandon-Kootenay would have been a good series to show too but the markets are not as big as Saskatoon-Lethbridge.
