The Chicago Wolves won the Calder Cup last night; defeating the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins 5-2. I attended the game and all I can say is, "wow." I hope that everyone can experience that kind of electricity and elation. I will never forget that game. I taped it, as well, and will guard it with as much vehemence as I guard the 1985 Bears Super Bowl victory tape (along with the Super Bowl Shuffle)....

The Pittsburgh Penguins have called up Alex Goligoski , who had a great playoff run in the AHL with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins. It sounds like Goligoski will be the 7th defenseman for tomorrow's game. Technically, he only needs to dress for one Stanley Cup final game to get his name on the Cup, but it's likely a moot point since by all accounts, Detroit is practicing the button combination...

It's official. The Chicago Wolves are moving onto the Calder Cup FINALS! They played with sincere desperation last night despite leading the series 3-1 against the Toronto Marlies (can someone seriously explain to me what a 'marlie' is? Is it some sort of cracked up, misspelled version of 'marlin?'). Pavelec – AKA baby Jesus resurrection – made some absolutely ridiculous saves and the team mauled him...

There will be blood, as they say in the movies, when the Philadelphia Flyers and Pittsburgh Penguins meet in the Eastern Conference finals, starting Friday. These two teams really don't like each other, and for once, it's not just a fan or media thing. Players for both sides say that cliché is true in this case.
