Chiefs face Lehbridge Hurricanes in WHL Finals

Chiefs win in a 4-1 victory over he Tri-City Americans. It took all 7 games for Spokane to win their first West Conference title since 2000.

Chiefs now have a quick turn around to get ready for Lehbridge Hurricanes in the WHL Finals. The first game of the WHL Final is here in Spokane on friday. That is 2 days to recover from a series with the Americans that featured several OT's desisions and went all seven games. Then, scout, watch film, and practice to get ready for the Hurricanes. Lots of work to do.

Go Chiefs Go!!!

Seattle Draft quick takes

Seahawks Draft-
DE-plug him in, TE-he can block and more, DT-run stuffer, FB-he can block, LS-drafted kind of high maybe if he is a special teams genius we will change our minds, RB-at 5'-8" maybe he can go stealth mode in the NFL, K-hard to replace Brown, but jus maybe he will.

Here is Seattle picks NfL.Com auhorative recap of the Seahawk's picks.



Round 1, Pick 28 (28) (From Cowboys) Lawrence Jackson DE 6'5" 268 Southern Cal
Pick Analysis:Jackson is a complete defensive end. He produced 30.5 sacks at USC and also showed up against the run. Jackson could initially contribute with the Seahawks as a situational pass rusher with the chance to develop into a starter.
Round 2, Pick 7 (38) (From Ravens) John Carlson TE 6'5" 251 Notre Dame
Pick Analysis:The Seahawks selection of Carlson comes at somewhat of a surprise with a player like Fred Davis still on the board. But in Carlson Seattle gets a player who has solid blocking potential, though he appears limited in his pass-catching ability.
Round 4, Pick 22 (121) Red Bryant DT 6'5" 328 Texas A&M
Pick Analysis:Bryant is more of a two-gap inside defensive tackle in the more traditional 4-3. His role will be to keep blockers off Lofa Tatupu and collapse the pocket. He's a run stuffer who will probably come off the field in passing situations. He also has impressive speed for his size and is a good value at this point in the draft.
Round 5, Pick 28 (163) (From Cowboys) Owen Schmitt FB 6'2" 250 West Virginia
Pick Analysis:Schmitt has great passion for football and is a strong blocker and a willing teammate. He fits the mold of a blocking NFL fullback and probably will not get a lot of touches as a rusher or receiver, but is unafraid to throw himself into bigger defenders and sacrifice his body. He was the unsung player in West Virginia's explosive running attack, blocking for Pat White and Steve Slaton.
Round 6, Pick 23 (189) (From Titans) Tyler Schmitt LS 6'2" 234 San Diego State
Pick Analysis:It's rare that a long snapper is taken this high in the draft, but he was a superstar at the combine and because of his strong measurables can make some plays in special teams even when not snapping. He is the best long snapper in the draft.
Round 7, Pick 26 (233) (From Jaguars) Justin Forsett RB 5'8" 190 California
Pick Analysis:Good college production with nice hands coming out of the backfield. He has an impressive burst but is undersized. He doesn't have great sprinting speed but is quick and can change direction quickly.
Round 7, Pick 28 (235) (From Cowboys) Brandon Coutu K 5'11" 187 Georgia
Pick Analysis:Coutu had an excellent Pro Day workout that vaulted him up draft boards. He has a strong leg and displayed very good accuracy as well. With the loss of Josh Brown, the Seahawks will use Coutu to compete with Olindo Mare at kicker.

How about those Chiefs

The series is 3-2. If the Tri-city Americans lose one more. That is it for them. They are out of here and the Chiefs win the Play-off. Victory has eluded Spokane in the last couple of years. THis would be a fitting rebirth for them and a ribue to he talent and hardwork of this years team. Go, Chiefs.
