Today is another chapter in the Cascadia rivalry between the Portland Timbers and Seattle Sounders. Unfortunately, the game is in Seattle, and as you know by now, I am in Portland. For those in the Portland area travelling to Seattle for today's game, make yourselves heard, as people will be watching. As for hockey, the Winterhawks split the two games, winning 2-1 against Brandon and losing 4-2 against Moose Jaw. Cam Lanigan was the goalie of record in the win and Brendan Burke was in net for the loss. It's still early, but one begins to suspect that Lanigan has the inside track on the permanent starter's job previously held by Mac Carruth. Burke is a prospect, but he does need to start tightening up the holes in his game soon. The Winterhawks are too good to be having inconsistent games, and though the defense does have its lapses, it's clear at this point in time that Lanigan is more polished. The Winterhawks play their next game in Regina, SK on Tuesday.
