Hershey Bears Win Calder Cup

Posted on by
Last night was quite the night of hockey watching Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals on television while watching the Hershey Bears win the Calder Cup on a laptop.
 
Can we be any prouder of our AHL partners? No we can’t!
 
They are helping us to build a culture of excellence and of winning. They are grooming our young players and molding them into champions.  The Hershey Bears are the cream of the crop in the AHL with 10 Calder Cup Trophies in their history! Kudos to Michael Neuvirth for being named Playoff MVP as well.
 

Torch was Passed

As noted in my blog twice this series, the Pittsburgh Penguins are the better team and they deserved to win the Stanley Cup. The torch has been passed from the Red Wings to the Penguins. They are the class of the NHL. They are the champs and they deserve everyone’s respect and congratulations.
 
They are a great set of core young players and they have a great franchise; great fan base; great ownership and coaching. We all have our hands full now. They came back from two game deficits in two different series. They won two Game 7′s on the road. They are worthy Stanley Cup winners. That kind of determination has never been shown before in NHL history. Youth must be served. Kudos and congratulations to the Pittsburgh Penguins.
