The Quebec City Citadelles are the most recent team to eliminate our Vancouver Whalers from the playoffs. For that reason I have decided to name them as our current biggest rivals. With not much to hope for during the regular seasons, Vancouver must rely on playoff magic to make things interesting on a league wide scale. In these past playoffs, Quebec City gave us but one game to attempt at a miracle in which they handedly shut down the hopes and dreams of our team in a 5-4 OT loss for the Whalers. To begin this offseason, trades were made between the two Canadian teams as Vancouver was looking to secure some draft capital in exchange for some of the players from their roster last season. The players now on QCC are thriving while we've actually made an improvement from last season already. The goal now is win the trade by going farther than the French Canadian powerhouse in the playoffs. Quebec City, here we come.
