phelps 6,893 Posted June 6, 2018 Author #81 Share Posted June 6, 2018 The Toronto Marlies regain the lead in the Calder Cup finals, after a 2-1 victory on the ice of the Texas Stars in game #3... It all happened in the 2nd period, when Texas took the early lead, but, for the 3rd time in 3 games in this series, the team allowing the first goal of the game came back and turn things around... game #4 is scheduled for Thursday night (8 p.m. ET, 2 a.m. CET...exactly at the same time of the NHL finals game #5...someone in the AHL schedule commission must be a real genius )...

Agger 1,591 Posted June 8, 2018 #86 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Not only is Eller the first Danish player to lift the trophy. He even scored the deciding goal! So happy for him! Belle and Finnator123 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phelps 6,893 Posted June 8, 2018 Author #87 Share Posted June 8, 2018 justice is done! finally, the greatest player ever without the cup...is no longer "without"... another brave effort from the Vegas Golden Knight last night in game #5 couldn't stop destiny...and another great game by Ovi and his Caps finally gave them the greatest success of their career... as I always said, I'm very, very happy of this Caps win... but hopefully, next year I want my Kings back on top of the league...

phelps 6,893 Posted June 8, 2018 Author #88 Share Posted June 8, 2018 on the other side, last night game #4 of the Calder Cup finals was also played... and the Texas Stars won 3-2 at home against the Toronto Marlies, taking the series to a 2-2 tie... game #5 is scheduled for Saturday night (8 p.m. ET, 2 a.m. CET), always in Cedar Park, TX, home of the Stars...

phelps 6,893 Posted June 10, 2018 Author #89 Share Posted June 10, 2018 The Toronto Marlies won game #5 of the Calder Cup finals on the ice of the Texas Stars with the score of 6-2 and now the series heads back to Toronto with the Marlies just 1 game away from winning the Cup... Last night they started on fire and with 2 goals in the first couple of minutes basically killed the contest...and despite a shy attempt to open the game by the Stars at the beginning of the second period, from that moment it was only a white and blue show... Game #6 is scheduled for Tuesday (June 12th) night @ 7 p.m. ET (1 a.m. CET) at the Ricoh Coliseum in Toronto and it could be the very last hockey game of the 2017/2018 season...

phelps 6,893 Posted June 13, 2018 Author #90 Share Posted June 13, 2018 and for the first time in 15 years, the Calder Cup finals go to game #7... the Texas Stars, in fact, won the 6th episode of this year's saga on the ice of the Toronto Marlies by a score of 5-2 and tied the series at 3 games apiece... it all happened in the 2nd period, when Texas scored 3 unanswered goals totally against the flow of the game..."triple" that killed any hope for last night for the Marlies... this, added to a great performance by Stars goalie McKenna, was basically the key fact of the game... the last and decisive game of the season is scheduled for tomorrow night (7 p.m. ET, 1 a.m. CET), once again at the Ricoh Coliseum in Toronto... here are the game #6 highlights: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
