Chiefs get healthy at home
CHIEFS
It seems like the post-game fight Saturday night was just what the Chiefs needed. Either that, or some home cooking.
Whatever it was, Spokane has tied the first-round playoff series with Everett at two games apiece after the 3-1 win Wednesday night at the Arena.
Jeff Bunch has more on his blog.
• The Tips, which came into the series with the best regular-season record in the WHL, haven't been happy with the officiating.
There was some whining after the loss in the first Spokane game concerning a too-late goal at the end of the first period. And now, as this Everett Herald story relates, there was a lot of crying after the game about the Chiefs' first goal.
According to the Tips – led by head coach Kevin Constantine – the goal should have been disallowed due to goalie interference.

• The other U.S. Division series is now 3-1 in Seattle's favor after the Thunderbirds' win on Wednesday. Tri-City came into the series as a slight favorite.
