4/18 Recap: Myers, Rockets steady in win

In game one of the WHL Western Conference Final, Tyler Myers finished +2 as Kelowna dumped Vancouver, 4-2. Myers offensive contributions were mostly limited to point blasts as the Rockets anchor kept things simple while the Giants tried to double-shift leading scorer and prize '09 Evander Kane. In a "game within the game" battle, the 6'7-3/4 Myers help his ground Kane, closing him off with reach and once reacting to his forecheck by putting him on his back. Game two will be played Sunday afternoon in Vancouver.
