So they paid flights, ohh thats a big advantage to Portland "sarcasm". Guys, the game is won on the ice, not in the air lol. By the way, the flights were for families that didn't have the money to come and see their son play, so basically the WHL is saying who cares if u dont have the money to see ur son play.
Players also can't have cell phones on the ice either so how is that cheating?
The league is becoming a joke. They pick a city to be the host for the memorial cup cuz they have a big rink (big money) but the team stinks. Now they go after Portland cuz they've been pretty good for the last few years just cuz they pay for flights and hand out a cell phone to the captain of the team, WOW!!!
Honestly, I'd love to see Portland win the WHL championship, love to see the look on Robson's or whatever his name is, face when he hands the trophy to Rutkowski.
