One down, two to go.

In case you missed the game on Comcast Sportsnet last night (or you got fed up with the fact that the visual aspect of it disappeared halfway through the first period and turned it off), the Hershey Bears trounced the Milwaukee Admirals to win the franchise's ninth Calder Cup. Congrats go out to those guys, who are making the Capitals' future look brighter every day.

So many Cups, so little time.

Tonight's Game Six of the Calder Cup finals will be broadcast on Comcast Sportsnet on tape delay at 11:00 PM here in Washington. The Hershey Bears (the Washington Capitals' AHL affiliate) have a chance to clinch the series over the Milwaukee Admirals.

Thanks to Ted Leonsis for the heads up.

Cup Crazy

I think it important to note that while we gear up for tonight's Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals, the AHL championship series is already two games in. Right now, the Norfolk Admirals (NHL affiliate: Chicago Blackhawks) and the Hershey Bears (NHL affiliate: Washington Capitals) are tied at one game apiece in the Calder Cup Finals. Rest assured that I will keep you up to date on this series.
