Reader poll: Portland Winterhawks

As I stated in my last post, this week is Portland week for the Silvertips. The Winterhawks (minus the space) come to town Wednesday and then again Sunday, and those are Everett’s only games this week.

Portland finished dead last in the U.S. Division the past three seasons. Twice the Winterhawks finished last in the entire WHL. But so far Portland has turned the tables big time this season. The Winterhawks won two more games over the weekend, winning 5-3 at Spokane on Friday and 4-3 in OT at Kamloops on Sunday, putting Portland into first place in the division at 5-1.

Is this a sign of things to come from Portland? Or is it merely an illusion. You make the call:
