Fun team to watch
by pdxhawky on 9/27/09Portland Memorial Coliseum - PortlandThis years Winterhawks team is just that. A team. They move the puck well, play great defense, and the forecheck is very effective. They went two periods not being able to finish, but figured it out in the third reeling off 5 goals in the final frame. The "Rosebuds" cheer squad is something fun for the kids, I guess. The new PA announcer is awful, as he tries too hard to push his voice. The background music, if they must, has been changed to more classic rock format, rather than the RAP that has been so dominant over the past several seasons. The replay screens at Portland Memorial Coliseum are annoying and in-effective. They should be left off.
