Prince Albert has our number this year too. <BR/><BR/>I've never seen Portland in the light of day. Only in and out both times pre-game and post-game.

There is a ice motorcycle race going to be run there so the ice is a lot thicker than it normally is. That being said, the coliseum ice is usually not all that great to begin with, the ice plant there is ancient and has trouble keeping the ice in good shape. One other small point, and the Hawks need all the credit they can get these days, but the score of the Spokane game was 7-1, not 7-0 as you indicated, not much of a difference but important to us die hard Portland fans anyway.<BR/><BR/>One final note: exactly how strong is the Eastern conference this year? Of Portland's 6 wins, one has come against each of Swift Current, Regina, Saskatoon and Medicine Hat. Hope you enjoyed your short trip to the Rose City.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
