The Portland Winterhawks wasted little time in disposing of the Spokane Chiefs this week, as they took a 3-1 decision on Tuesday and shut them out last night 5-0. All of this means that the Winterhawks sweep the series and will have eight days to rest. If you need an answer as to why the Winterhawks won so easily, the answer is in net, where Mac Carruth only gave up three goals the entire series, with two shutouts. The Winterhawks offense was on, as well, and it will need to be on again in the Conference finals that will begin in eight days.
Their opponent will also have eight days, as the Kamloops Blazers beat the Kelowna Rockets in four straight. The Blazers will undoubtedly be seeking revenge for last year, when the Winterhawks ousted them in seven games in the Conference semi-finals last year.
If Calgary wins their series today (they're up 3-1 currently), that will mean an entire week will be about hyping the matchups, meaning the Winterhawks/Blazers and Oil Kings/Hitmen.
