"Last week was incredible!" you’re thinking to yourself.

"And I know the game in LA Saturday is on the tube (8 p.m., Fox Soccer Channel).

"But where – where? – can I get my fix of live-and-in-person goals, saves and bewildering offside calls? Maybe even with a Tommy Potl-caliber elbow thrown in?"

Relax, we’ve got you covered....  Or rather, the Portland Winterhawks do.

They open the Western Hockey League’s Western Conference finals this Friday and Sunday at the Rose Garden. The Hawks play at 7 p.m. Friday and 5 p.m. Sunday, and they’d like nothing better than to have some of the Greatest Football Supporters The World Has Ever Seen™ come out and see them put the hurt on the Spokane Chiefs.

You can get in on the action for cheap, too, by calling Timbers season-ticketholder and Winterhawk account manager Jeff Spiegel at 971-230-2967. He’s got $10 discounts on seats in the 100 level, with prices comparable to your Timbers Army tickets.
