omgitshim 899 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 The Wranglers championship hopes came to an end this week after falling victim to the top seeded New York Americans in 6 games. Calgary started the series off on the right foot by forcing overtime in game one. Things turned the Wranglers way late in the overtime period, where Keaton Louth and Oyorra Arroyo unleashed a flurry of 4 shots in about 7 seconds, ending when the rookie Arroyo netted the puck to give Calgary the win in game one. New York took care of business in game 2, but game 3 was a different story. Despite outshooting the Wranglers 50-26, this one went scoreless all the way into double overtime where Sergei Komarov finally scored on his 7th shot of the game. It was all Wranglers in game 4 thanks to a pair of first period goals by Niko Bogdanovic. New York looked greatly out of sorts as they spent 22 minutes in the penalty box and gave up 3 power play goals. The Americans looked to take game 5 with a 2 goal lead early, but the Wranglers fought back to tie it in the 3rd and ultimately force another double overtime game. New York held stout at the end though and persevered once again to put Calgary on the brink of elimination. The Wranglers came out firing in game 6, outshooting the Americans 18-12 in the first period but still ended up behind 2-1. New York put the clamps on from there, and a pair of insurance goals in the 3rd secured the win and their ticket to the finals. Calgary fans were disheartened by the loss, but they are ripe with anticipation for what next season will bring. Claiming for last week since I wrote this on Saturday and the board was dead.

Gooningitup 1,290 Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Will probably be Calgary/Davos/New York being the big dogs next year. With Quebec being a wild card. Then Toronto/Seattle/Helsinki/Riga all kinda seeing whose stuck making the playoffs despite wanting to rebuild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DollarAndADream 3,356 Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Calgary definitely had a test against NY, who was the favourite all season. You guys had a great season, and I think you'll be #1 or #2 next season. I'd bet you're a finalist. NY will be good again next year, but no more Boeser.
