The Goals should come easier for the Kings, The Hitmen #1 line is the finest in the west but 2# line is inconsistent with goals. If the #2 line for the Hitmen can get hot and Pushkarev can get on a roll the teams are evenly matched.

Eric Fehr
Ryan Stone
Tim Konsorada
Lance Monych
Steven Later

Ryan Getzlaf
Konstantin Pushkarev
Andrew Ladd
Shaun Landolt
Dustin Kohn

Tomanek - Could start playing at any time adding another big threat up front.

The back end, The Hitmen’s 1st and 2nd lines have the upper hand, but Plante is unproven. Alex looked great last week, but with only 8 games played all year with the big club this could be a weak spot.


Tyler Plante SV%0.907 playoffs 0.925 - Tyler Plante
(older brother of Hitmen d-man prospect Alex Plante)
Justin Pogge SV%0.907 playoffs 0.954 - He is known for bad goals.

2) Brandon Wheat Kings vs. (3) Calgary Hitmen

2004-05 head-to-head record: Brandon won 2-1-1

2004-05 head-to-head top scorers:
Brandon: Eric Fehr 4gp-2g-5a-7pts
Lance Monych 4gp-4g-0a-4pts

Calgary: Konstantin Pushkarev 4gp-1g-3a-4pts
Ryan Getzlaf 1gp-2g-1a-3pts


Brandon's power play connected 8 times on 30 opportunities. Eric Fehr and Ryan Stone, are the WHL top two scorers. What the Kings need to do to win, breaking the Calgary's penalty-killing unit, which was great against Lethbridge. The defense need to shut down Ladd and Getzlaf..

Hitmen’s size and depth and excellent defensive play, will need to be put to uses every game. Brandon's is bigger up front will give the Hitmen more difficult. What the Hitmen need to do to win, staying out of the penalty box, Ladd and Getzlaf to be as amazing, Pogge needs to stand on his head.

I don't know much about the kings. They are a much bigger team
