Myers, Rockets on the cusp

After two games this week, Tyler Myers and the Kelowna Rockets find themselves on the verge of heading to Rimouski for the 2009 Memorial Cup. On Wednesday, Myers had an assist as Kelowna lost to Calgary, 6-2. The win puts the Hitmen on the board in the WHL Finals, as they now trail Myers' Rockets 3-1. In Monday's game three, Myers was +1 as the Rockets shutout the Hitmen, 2-0. Playing both games without injured forward Jamie Benn, Myers gave and absorbed hits, and helped picked up the slack adding more offensive rushes to his sound shutdown foundation. Myers has five goals, 15 assists, and is +14 in 20 playoff games.
