Last night's game between the New Westminster Salmonbellies and the Edmonton Miners ended round robin play and helped shape the playoff picture. Edmonton could not come up with a win and is therefore, out of the tournament with a disappointing 0-3 record (identical to their record in the 2006 tournament). With the win, New Westminster goes to 2-1 and claims the second spot while Six Nations Arrows grab up third place with a 1-2 record. The Burnaby Lakers finished first with a 3-0 record to advance directly to the championship on Sunday afternoon.
Tonight the second half of the championship game matchup will be decided as Six Nations will try to upset the Salmonbellies to return to the championship game. The Six Nations Arrows lost to the Peterborough Lakers 9-5 in the final game of the 2006 Minto Cup. New Westminster looks to have the advantage going into this game as they beat Six Nations 10-7 last Saturday. The Salmonbellies, I'm sure, are looking to avenge their earlier loss to Burnaby too when they saw their early four goal lead evaporate into a 7-6 loss. Both playoff games are looking to be good ones and I am looking froward to seeing the final live on Sportsnet.
