-Portland is a defensively built team, but they showed tonight that they can play offense to, and Pehltonen stood on his head again in this one/
-That he did, and as for Saskatoon, they're still in position to make the playoffs but they really gotta turn it around soon or that's gonna change. The team itself looked not so bad but Alekseev, you hate to put it all on the goaltender but allowing 7 goals on 30 shots, you gotta wonder if he'll still be in net after the trade deadline.
