Reader poll: Playoff opponent

Published 10:13 am Monday, March 2, 2009

The playoffs are in sight, and the Western Conference appears to be sorting itself out. Everett is currently in seventh place and there’s a good chance the Tips will stay there, as Everett trails sixth-place Kamloops by five points and leads eighth-place Prince George by nine.

However, technically speaking Everett could still wind up facing any of the current top four teams in the conference — Vancouver, Tri-City, Spokane and Kelowna. The Tips will be a heavy underdog in the first round against any of those four. But is there a particular team among those four Everett would be best off drawing in the first round? The Tips are currently 1-4-0-0 against Vancouver, 2-7-1-0 against Tri-City, 1-6-0-0 against Spokane and 1-2-1-0 against Kelowna.

That leads into this week’s poll. Feel free to explain your vote in the comments section.
