The Coquitlam Express had a solid season this year that saw them win the majority of their games leading to them having the fourth seed coming into this playoff series. The Chilliwack Chiefs also had a solid season though and secured the fifth seed leading to these two rivals facing off against each other in round one.

Game one was a heated one with multiple penalties issued throughout the game. The Chiefs dominated the game though leading to a final score of 4-1.

Game two was much better for the Express as the team had their moments leading to a fun back and forth game. The energy in the arena for this game was incredible as both teams fan bases came out to support. The Chiefs were able to secure the overtime victory though leading to a final score of 3-2 for the team.

The Express had to win game three if they wanted any chance in this playoff series. They headed to Chilliwack and put on a show destroying the Chiefs 5-1.

It seemed as though the Express had finally solved the puzzle that is the Chilliwack Chiefs. The Chiefs delivered a message in game four though out scoring the Express 7-2 and taking the 3-1 lead in the series.

At this point hope was lost for the Express but the team fought their heart out in game five. It wasn’t enough though as the Chiefs still got the overtime victory to win the game 6-5 and take the series.
