Glad to be apart of such a historic run. Never in my life have I been to this many playoff games. The run had everything! And to top it all off a Hatty and OT game winner for the cup?! I’ll never experience anything like it. A moment I’ll share in history with 11,012 others aside from myself. 🎉 let the celebration begin Bears nation!!
Everyone knows this is Hershey’s 13th Calder Cup Championship, but they also played in and lost 12 other Calder Cup finals. That’s 25 appearances in the championship finals out of 85 seasons, almost 30%. That’s an incredible stat. To be a part of the league championship series 30% of the time in the entire history of the Calder Cup is mind blowing.
As someone who lives near Coachella Valley, it was pretty sad to see the firebirds get "put out" in back to back years, in OT, both home and away. Needless to say, I congratulate Hershey on a sweet double and getting a baker's dozen of Calders. 🍫🍫
Man, I definitely need to check out the AHL playoffs next year. Such incredible playoff hockey even in the minor leagues, including two spectacular FInals finishes in a row. (That said, while it is exciting as a Kraken fan seeing their feeder team have so much success out of the gate, it does sting seeing the Firebirds lose back-to-back Calder Cup Finals in the ways that they have.)
Based on the highlights here, this felt more like a cup final game than Stanley Cup final that was on last night around the same time! Looked like a great game!
Wow…. 13 Calder Cups Congratulations Hershey on such a historic Run. It was amazing to witness as a fan of the Sport of Hockey. What a Game. This is why Hockey is the best Pure Team Sport
Congrats to the Bears. Two in a row and thirteen total. Amazing. As aCAPS/Bears fan not sure if I'm happy to see Sheppard, Iorio, LaPierre, Frank, Snively and Mcllrath move up to the CAPS or sad to see Sheppard, Iorio, LaPierre, Frank, Snively and Mcllrath leave the Bears. Go Bears Go, Roooaaaar.
@@Crankbaitkid22 No, but a few of them spent a lot of time with the Caps last year. So just some speculation. Though I did read somewhere that with the Kuemper trade that Shep may have a real shot at the back up goalie spot.
Gonna become a delusional birds fan. Next season🤞 props to the rookies for showing up. And for a 2 year team its not that bad. Still lots of work needs to be done
@@Aidan_minottii doubt it. firebirds are gonna lose so many key aspects of their teams success i think this was their chance. a decent chunk of their core will be gone plus their coach. but i do agree hershey will probably end up with the 3 peat
