Spokane and Portland Part 4 B

Game 4 is tonight here in Spokane. Portland should have all the confidence in the world going into tonight's game as Portland is 5-0 in Spokane this season. Going into the game tonight Portland has to continue to dominate the fore check and not allow Spokane quality scoring opportunities. I had a discussion with folks about shots vs. quality scoring opportunities and honestly, scoring opportunities are more important in my opinion. Portland needs to continue to get them and limit the number of chances for Spokane.

Here is my line up suggestions...

Walker, Francis, Boychuck (Riley is a big body and can screen the net without getting pushed around)
Ross, Johansen, Nino
Swenson, Bennet, Rattie
Gabriel, Schneider, Jordan

Sbisa, Aronson
Doyle, Ponich
Rutkowski, Doyle

Carruth in net...

It will be interesting to see how Portland continues to make adjustments to what Spokane will do differently tonight as well.

Hope to see a bunch of Hawk fans in attendance tonight! Time to tie the series.
