The Portland Owls are in an interesting situation.
Going into this evening's game against the Seattle Reign, the Owls held a two-point lead over the Ottawa Barracudas in the Corfield Conference.
Tonight, Portland played Seattle, a team with 12 fewer points than the Owls. Also, a team that played Portland well this regular season and entered tonight's game holding a 3-2 edge in 17-18.
After the Reign, POR has two really tough matchups in the Fort Erie Falcons (110 pts.) and then CGY (137 pts.)
Portland really wanted 2 points tonight so that OTT couldn't catch them.
Final score?
POR-3
SEA-4
Portland has 2 games left against FOR & CGY. Two games that the Owls will be expected to lose. Ottawa has just one game left, against the league-worst Dayton Musicmen. If OTT wins against the Musicmen, OTT will have 33 wins. If POR loses both games remaining, they will finish with 70 pts. , the same OTT will wind up with IF they beat DAY on Wednesday night.
Can POR beat either FOR or CGY?
Oh yes, yes they can.
POR won the season series against BOTH the Falcons (3-2-0) and the Chinook (3-2-0).
Stay tuned!
