2018 Calder Cup Final

 

Game #7 Boxscore

https://theahl.com/stats/game-summary/1018336

 

Game #7 Highlights

 

The Marlies have brought a professional hockey championship to Toronto.

Andreas Johnsson and Mason Marchment each scored twice and Garret Sparks made 29 saves as the Marlies defeated the Texas Stars, 6-1, to win their first Calder Cup and capture the first men’s pro hockey title in the city since 1967.

 

In the first Game 7 in a Calder Cup Finals since 2003, Toronto weathered some early pressure from the Stars, with Sheldon Dries hitting the post on a chance three minutes in and Miro Aaltonen making a diving block at the crease to prevent Gavin Bayreuther from hitting a yawning cage.

The Marlies then took a 1-0 lead at the 10:41 mark of the first period when Johnsson crashed the net and banged home a feed from Carl Grundstrom for his ninth goal and league-leading 22nd point of the playoffs.

Marchment scored a huge goal with 17.2 seconds left in the first, getting open between the circles and burying a pass from Trevor Moore for his fifth goal of the postseason.

Toronto took a 2-0 lead into the first intermission while outshooting the Stars 19-7.

 

The Stars nearly cut the deficit in half midway through the second, but Sparks and his defenders managed to keep the puck out of the net off a goal-front scramble.

 

The Marlies carried their two-goal lead into the third, and added a big insurance tally at 3:35 when Johnsson set up Grundstrom for his eighth playoff goal, making it 3-0.

Austin Fyten was credited with the only Stars goal of the night, chipping the puck past Sparks during a swarm in front.

Johnsson’s second goal and third point of the evening made it 4-1 with 3:46 to play, and captain Ben Smith‘s empty-net goal set off the celebration in earnest.

Marchment added his second goal of the night in the final minute to cap the scoring.

 

Johnsson won the Jack A. Butterfield Trophy as the most valuable player of the Calder Cup Playoffs.

A 2013 draft choice by the Toronto Maple Leafs, the 23-year-old native of Gavle, Sweden, totaled 10 goals and 14 assists for a league-leading 24 points in 16 playoff appearances.

 

Led by general manager Kyle Dubas and head coach Sheldon Keefe, the Marlies – top development team of the NHL’s Maple Leafs – finished with the best record in the league during the regular season and then defeated the Utica Comets (3-2), Syracuse Crunch (4-0) and Lehigh Valley Phantoms (4-0) before eliminating Texas in seven games in the Finals.

 

At 37, Keefe is the youngest head coach to win the Calder Cup since Todd McLellan with the Houston Aeros in 2003.

 

Attendance at Ricoh Coliseum on Thursday night was 8,818, the seventh consecutive sellout of the Finals and the largest crowd ever for a Marlies game there.

A total of 6,961,349 fans attended AHL games in 2017-18, the third-highest total in league history.

 

Toronto’s victory brings an end to the AHL’s 82nd season.

In operation since 1936, the AHL continues to serve as the top development league for all 31 National Hockey League teams.

More than 87 percent of today’s NHL players are American Hockey League graduates, and more than 100 honored members of the Hockey Hall of Fame spent time in the AHL in their careers.

 

NOTES:

The teams alternated wins over the entire series, with Toronto winning all of the odd-numbered games…

The Marlies never trailed in a series all postseason, and were 8-0 in games when a series was tied…

Toronto captain Ben Smith becomes the 126th player ever to win both the Calder Cup and the Stanley Cup (Chicago Blackhawks, 2013) in his career…

Colin Greening (Binghamton, 2011), Chris Mueller (Texas, 2014) and Vincent LoVerde (Manchester, 2015) all won the second Calder Cup of their careers…

Home teams are now 8-3 all-time in Calder Cup Finals Game 7’s…

This was Texas’s first-ever loss in a Game 7 (3-1)…

 

The 2018-19 regular season begins on Oct. 5.

and with this one, it's really over...:cry:

the 2017/2018 season, which started back in August of last year, has just delivered the last match of the season...

I'm quite exhausted...I don't know how many games I've watched in these months, but they've been a monster number for sure...:evil:

I feel I really need a break...but I'm sure that in a week or so, I'm gonna be heavily depressed (I'm gonna have a real abstinence crisis) and very anxious about the new season to start...actually, I just can't wait for that right now...:rofl::facepalm:

my dear hockey fans...see you soon...:d:bye:

Some more news around the NHL...

 

first, surprisingly Barry Trotz is no longer the head coach of the Stanley Cup Champions, the Washigton Capitals...

more about it, here:

https://www.nhl.com/news/alex-ovechkin-surprised-barry-trotz-no-longer-with-washington-capitals/c-299148086

 

second, the NHL Salary Cap for the next season is expected to increase to 79.5/80 million US $, up from the 75 million US $ of the season just ended...

https://www.nhl.com/news/nhl-salary-cap-expected-to-increase-next-season/c-299141082

 

here are, instead, some news on the expansion process of the upcoming 32nd NHL team (in Seattle) by the 2020/2021 season (if everything goes according to the plan)...

https://www.nhl.com/news/seattle-nhl-expansion-process-on-track/c-299141118

 

meanwhile here we go with a look ahead to the next season, since the NHL has released the 2018/2019 Home Openers for all the 31 teams...

the new season will start on the 3rd of October, with the nowadays "classic" quadruple-header (2 US match-ups and 2 Canadians match-ups, covering both the East and West Coast prime time)...

 

these are those games:

Boston Bruins @ Washington Capitals

Montreal Canadiens @ Toronto Maple Leafs

Anaheim Ducks @ San Josè Sharks

Calgary Flames @ Vancouver Canucks

 

the full calendar of the 1271 Regular Season games will be released later today (5 p.m. ET, 11 p.m. CET), during a TV show on NHL Network...

https://www.nhl.com/news/nhl-2018-19-home-openers-announced/c-299123382

 

finally, I remember the very last event of the 2017/2018 season, the NHL Draft, scheduled for Saturday and Sunday in Dallas (with the Swedish defenceman Rasmus Dahlin unanimously expected to go no.1 overall and the Russian forward Andrei Svechnikov also unanimously stuck at no.2 overall)...

    • I would say they will not be eligible. But it realy abotut the wording every federation has in its papers. World Aquatics changes their policies several times (especially after Mazepin "solved the issues" persoanlly - as witnessed one russian Olympic champion)   Inoirtnat notes on FIS decisions:   FIS points are frozen for ruissns and belorussians - so the situation is not so complicated for a lot of them. The list of the AIN`s is not final as the list from ISU was. It means that persons mau be not only removed from the list but added as well. I expect russians to try some freestyle applications before the stage in China, for example. FIS has not problems with the deny of visa or entris by the host countries. So they kept the possibility to close the doors for the russians for all the countries as ICF did. No sanctions for this, no removing events from the Olympic qualification list, no host changes,   * * * * * Here is the the relevant extract from FIS papers for Aerials tram event. What do you think?
    • Not only Korostelev but all 3 russian entries. I will bring the detail 
    • And will bet that the IBU is a lot richer than the FIS because their wealth is based on German TV contracts.  
    • Russians filed an appeal to CAS against IBU. But I do not believe they will get any result in time to grab quotas. I suppose IBU will not agree to have "fast" hearings as FIS did. And i suppose IBU will fight in CAS without intention to lose as FIS did.
    • hmm - aren't Australia and New Zealand the only nations that actually compete in the Oceania Cup?
    • If Australia and New Zealand earn quotas through Pro League, then does that mean 3rd placed team from Oceania Cup takes quota? 
    • Right now russians themselves metioned that they have 2 main options for women`s quota: - Peklecova will was not included into the international doping testing pool (RUSADA is still incompliant after that scandal) - D.Nepryaeva had training camps at the occupied territories - it is the best way to avoid of the international doping testing at all     P.S. Little detail - according to Vaelbe 90% of russian skiera are contracted with russian army or other security services.
    • We had no real problems with russians for a long time. It was a normal sport rivalry. It was common case that statues of russian politicians and poets remained in place even in the Western Ukraine which was joined by the Soviet Union much later. Lyskun was pro-Ukrainian according to her statement but she kept conctcts with her former coach. That coach moved to russia earlier and could do some brainwashing. I would say that the coach may have financial motivation to do this. By the way we had similar case with Bondar from Luhansk who moved to russia in 2014. What is really interesting - russians have a lot of resources but it took them 4 yeats to find someone relatively well-known in sport area to stage this propaganda performance.       Yes, this web-site is active and maintained. The list is beeing updated. But it is not an official goverment resource and it is operated by the non-goverment organization. It was created to draw attention of the national security services to the activities of some people and provide some initial foundations for further formal investigations.
    • AIN's will skipped (they got American visa too late) 2nd WC stage (but their could compete in 3rd WC stage) and, therefore, their chances to got more than 1 entry in OG have become lower, especially,  if their will not allow to compete in Sigulda (but after their participation in Poland's short-track WT stage, I won't give 100% chances for that).   Maybe problem with entries will be solved by itself)
