The Newfoundland Berserkers biggest rival is the Vancouver Whalers. This is the team that beat us in the Finals last season. As a second year player, I can only base this off of my experience. The nice thing about this season is although neither of us are playing that well right now, Vancouver in currently sitting in the basement of the West. I look to them as the team that I hold the most ill-will towards as they took away my chance at a title in S56. This season, they are 3 and 1 against us, and just seem to have our number. Since all teams in the SMJHL make the playoffs, there is a chance, albeit unlikely, that they can meet in the finals again. Until then, I will be rooting against them in the hopes that they are ousted early and can watch the finals from home. I expect to be home as well, but hopefully not as soon as Vancouver. The playoffs should be another fun ride.
