7:05 start?
We know, what a concept.
It’s the final time this season and it hasn’t happened in a while, so we figured it’s worth the extra note of reminder. Make sure your evening routine is adjusted accordingly.
Let’s go get a win!
Let’s.
Friday was an emotional win over Everett, Saturday was a letdown after a really difficult start and Sunday’s game came down to the wire. The team has a huge chance to correct some of their mistakes.
Ending the season with a playoff-like feel?
Sort of!
Three of the team’s remaining four games are against Tri-City, starting tonight. The two started the season against each other, met again shortly after and then took about a month off with one another – which is a long time given the rapidly-moving season schedule. Merely stating facts, Tri-City has had a difficult season, certainly not where they want to be in the standings. Yet they’ve taken two of three from the ‘Hawks this season. Let’s see if Portland can give some push back and end the season on a high note.
