Yesterday, the Portland Winterhawks finally closed out the Everett Silvertips with a 5-1 victory. That series was not without issues, as Austin Lotz singlehandedly kept the Silvertips in the series with two stellar efforts in games one and five. however, his inconsistency reared its ugly head in game four, which in many respects, mirrors the Silvertips' struggles as a whole. As for the Winterhawks, they will need to find a way to ramp up their game and make adjustments, as there will be more efforts like the one Everett gave. They begin their second round on Friday against either Seattle or Spokane, as the Thunderbirds can clinch tonight.
