The Zags weren't the only team in March Madness as the WHL Playoffs are now in full swing. The Spokane Chiefs knocked off the Seattle Thunderbirds in the first round of the playoffs in front of a crowd of 6,000 last night - four games to one - after a 5-3 victory.“It wasn’t the cleanest win,” Chiefs coach Hardy Sauter said, referring to Spokane’s eight penalties throughout the game, including five in the third period. “We have to find that fine line between strong and penalized. Tonight at times I thought we didn’t make the best decisions, but at the same time we have to stick up for ourselves too, so all in all it was a pretty good effort.”
Problem is, next up is the Vancouver Giants, the one-seed in the playoffs. They went 59-9 in the regular season and have looked pretty much unstoppable. They also swept their first series of the playoffs 4-0. Looks like somebody is going to have to give them food poisoning. Is there a willing burger joint in Spokane that wants to do that? (I mean a restaurant already did that to the Chiefs this year, you'd think they could at least do it to the away team for a change)
