I realize in the midst of the WHL playoffs and the upcoming NHL playoffs (Vancouver is in and can clinch the Northwest Division as soon as tonight) that I have largely ignored the USHL. The Clark Cup tournament began last week, and so far, we can expect the Dubuque Fighting Saints and Youngstown Phantoms in the Eastern Conference finals after they disposed of the Muskegon Lumberjacks and Green Bay Gamblers, respectively. The Western Conference is less certain at this point, but the Waterloo Black Hawks can send the Fargo Force home, as they are up 2-1 in the best of five series. The Lincoln Stars and Sioux Falls Stampede are nodded at two a piece with a deciding fifth game that will determine one of the spots in the Western Conference finals.
