Silvertips, T-Birds Collide in WHL Playoffs
EVERETT – After finishing the 2013-14 WHL regular season with the #5 seed in the Western Conference, the Everett Silvertips will clash with the fourth-place Seattle Thunderbirds in a best-of-seven first round WHL playoff series. After meeting 112 times over the last 11 regular seasons, the two Puget Sound rivals will write a new chapter in their shared history with their first-ever playoff matchup.
