2012-13 WHL Regular Season Thread

NHL13 2013-14 WHL Playoff Simulation Results:

*User team picked as Everett as I believed they had the least chance to move on.*

*All rules were same as real life, Injuries, continuous Overtime, everything.*

*Only flaw about this is Roster's aren't 100% updated, they're as updated as EA made them but not right not in WHL updated. For example Ferland isn't on Saskatoon and Dieno isn't on the Rebels. And some players Overall's weren't given justice, lol.*

Eastern Conference:

Edmonton Oil Kings (1) VS. Kootenay Ice (8) - Edmonton wins series 4-1.
Saskatoon Blades (2) VS. Medicine Hat Tigers (7) -Saskatoon wins series 4-1

WHL Ed Chynoweth Champions:

Edmonton Oil Kings

They also had St. Croix pegged as the WHL playoff point leader with 32 and Brossoit leading in wins with 14. Brossoit came in 2nd for both GAA and SV%. Laurikainen of the Broncos finished in 1st for both.

So even with a Game Simulation it looks like it's yet again inevitable.

I could believe the East side of the Playoffs, or most of it but the West seamed wrong, lol. But in everyone else's defense Edmonton is a good team. Not but in all seriousness there roster is one of the most correct to live roster's right now.

And there we have it.

I've seen Portland play a few times this season vs Seattle & Everett and I can't see how they aren't favored to win it all. They've made both Seattle area teams look like peewees but then in other games Seattle/Everett look normal against other WHL teams.

So Brendan Leipsec finishes tied for the WHL scoring lead with teammate Nic Petan. I am really hoping that Leipsec gets a serious look for the WJHC this year. He plays with a lot of heart and grit and is obviously quite offensively gifted. Regarding Petan, if I was the coach, providing both of these guys continue to be hot, they have to be considered to be on a top line for Canada.
