The WHL playoff picture got a tiny bit clearer last night, although not anything unexpected. With the Prince George Cougars' loss to Kelowna last night, the best the Cougars can do now is tie Everett for the final playoff spot in the West.
Doing this will require the Cougars to win both their remaining games (both against Kamloops) and for Everett to lose, in regulation, all three of their remaining games (two against Victoria and one against Tri-City).
If all this DID come to pass, there would then be a one-game sudden-death playoff in Everett on probably Tuesday (I'm thinking not on Monday as that would force Everett to play on four straight days) to determine who gets the playoff spot.
So, don't hold your breath or anything. It's so extremely unlikely to happen, it's pretty safe to say Everett is going to make the playoffs and Prince George is going to miss.

Well no one thought the ICE would even make the playoffs! I think I will just wait to see what happens. It seems to me in 2011 the ICE beat the first rated Blades in 4 straight. Playoffs are like a brand new season after all. Also the Oil Kings and the ICE split this season's series 3-3. GO ICE GO.
