Cats hosting Spokane Chiefs in best-of-seven series that starts Friday
Good enough to sit on the Western Hockey League throne as Western Conference regular season champions.
“First in B.C. and first in the Western Conference, we can’t complain. Good teams have good depth and we don’t rely on just one person to score goals and when you have natural goalscorers like Funk, with 67 goals, that obviously helps and we have four or five 20-goal scorers too and the best fourth line in the league.The Cougars start the playoffs next Friday at home against the Spokane Chiefs and if they keep winning they’ll have home-ice advantage for at least the first three playoff rounds.
Funk spotted Heidt breaking into open ice on the right side and fed him saucer pass that sent him into the clear at full flight and he ripped a low shot to the far side behind Jesse Sanche. “He was coming off that contract so I knew he was in for a big one and I gave him the puck there and he’s great in tight, he can make things happen and obviously he’s a heck of a goalscorer,” said the 20-year-old Funk.
Ferster, one of three Blazer 20-year-olds playing in his last junior hockey game, opened the scoring early in the second period with a similar close-range high deflection and with a similar tip-in tied the game 2-2 early in the third period.
