announced today that their choice of 3rd round series to cover will be the Calgary vs Brandon matchup, as opposed to the Tri-City vs Vancouver/Portland Western matchup.
Makes sense I guess.....Calgary-Brandon is #1 vs #2 overall and it's tough to make a case that any series in any round of the playoffs can be better than #1 vs #2.

You're probably right that a series featuring a #1 and #2 would be more interesting than a series with a #1 seed versus a #4 or #5. However, part of the reason for the decision is that both Brandon and Calgary are Canadian based teams, whereas there is a potential that the Western Conference final could be an all US based team affair, or have at least one US based team.
Eastern Team bias that is all !! I am sure they have done BOTH , or at least showed games from both series. I hope tri - cities wins it all

It would be nice if Fox Sports would pick up a few of the games. They did broadcast game 7 of the Spokane/Portland series but it was delayed an hour or so. If the coverage was better I think the ratings would come with it.
