Congratulations Calgary!

I just wanted to take the opportunity to congratulate the fine folks in the Calgary Wranglers' organization on their Continental Cup win over the HC Davos Dynamo. GM @Ricer13 has been around about as long as I have and the victory couldn't have gone to a nicer guy. There's a locker room full of character players and it's fitting that they were able to break Calgary's 24-season Cup drought.

 

Five players recorded over a point per game and after losing the first game in overtime the Wranglers buckled down and dispatched Davos by winning four straight with my former Vegas Teammate Larry Abass Jr @RileyL scoring only his second goal of the postseason at 18:14 of the third period to win the Cup for Cowtown in Game 5.

 

Most of all I want to congratulate my buddy Oskar Lindbergh @Doomsday. We toiled together for years in Prague to no avail and then he stayed loyal to Toronto for a long time before getting his chance with Calgary and showing the league what he could do and dominated in the playoffs. In the final game Calgary was outshot 33-19 and stopped all but one goal in a clutch performance to help his team become champions. 

 

Great job Calgary! Perhaps Cowtown should be renamed Cuptown.

Lindbergh for Playoff MVP!

 

Thanks Animal, I appreciate the love.
