I think overall, Vancouver has been a lot better than our record indicates and is a team capable of winning a lot of games en route to a Four-Star Cup miracle as some might say! Now, Vancouver had a very rough start to the season and was consistently among the bottom 2 teams in the entire league only competing with the Nevada Battleborn it seemed but then for some reason, something clicked. The team was competitive almost every time and the team was getting wins or at the very least, overtime losses against some of the better teams in the league. The wins however seemed to come in streaks just like the losses were especially early on which can be a thing that gets unlocked during the playoffs. A streaky team is something that could go on to do great things but also be knocked out early. I think Vancouver as the obvious talent but I think that is what makes the SMJHL so good is that each team is around the same in terms of overall TPE levels. The Whalers are right there and with some luck could surprise some teams early on and make a cup run. I don't know if it will happen but I will certainly be watching and I hope my player, Rikki Petrov can contribute to some wins even if his role is not super great currently!
