Game Three: The Comeback!!!


It may not have been the way Derek Laxdal and his coaching staff envisioned it happening but at the end of the day that really doesn’t matter.The Edmonton Oil Kings come from behind 3-2 victory over the Portland Winterhawks in Game Three of their WHL Final was not only a result the home side absolutely had to have but quite frankly, it could turn out to be the defining moment of this series.

Game Two: Winterhawks simply too good


After treating fans to pair of wonderful WHL Championship Finals in both 2012 and 2013, hockey fans across the Western Hockey League were hoping the Edmonton Oil Kings and Portland Winterhawks would make it three for in 2014. However, if the opening two games of this year’s matchup are any indication of what we should expect, it looks as though Edmonton could have their work cut out for them

Heading into last night’s opener between the Edmonton Oil Kings and Portland Winterhawks, there were two things Derek Lexdal needed from his players in order to have any hope of knocking off the defending Western Hockey League Champions…top notch goaltending and a productive power play.

Oil Kings vs Winterhawks....I can hardly wait!!!


So here we are…just over a day and half away from a third consecutive Western Hockey League Final between the Edmonton Oil Kings and Portland Winterhawks. As good as both of these teams have been over the last handful of seasons, the chances of them squaring off in three consecutive WHL Championship series were minuscule at best.
