GDT: Texas Stars @ Hershey Bears - Calder Cup Final Game 1

Caldcupmatch_medium

Is it the Dallas Stars in the Stanley Cup final?  No.  Is it the Stars in the NHL playoffs?  Of course not.

But it is championship hockey action involving the Dallas Stars' highest affiliate and some of the players you see on TV hear on the radio/internet broadcast tonight playing for Texas will someday be future Dallas Stars.  Make no mistake, the Calder Cup is a big deal and not just some rinky dink consolation prize for hockey's also-rans.  The Calder Cup playoffs are just as grueling and just as long as it's Stanley Cup counterpart and experienced gained here goes a long way to speeding up the development of these player's careers.  

So thus we have tonight - and for every night of the final - a game day thread so Stars fans (both of the Dallas and Texas variety) can come together and share the excitement of hockey's 2nd biggest professional championship.

And of course we can revel in the awesomeness that is Jamie Benn.

There is no TV coverage sadly (Really NHL Network?!  You couldn't free up the time?  You just had to show that playoff series between St. Louis and San Jose from 2000 instead?)  but if you do go to the AHL Live webpage you can follow along with the free radio feed - play by play provided to you by the one and only Josh Fisher who has been awesome to listen to the entire playoffs - or if you're feeling rich you can fork out the 13 bucks or so per game and watch the action live on that little screen they provide...

Game on!

Good Push by the Stars

The T-Stars looked strong in the 1st period. But, alternately, Hershey got great goaltending (as they have most of the year) and some of those shots were not really scoring chances. Still, hopefully they will bring more of the same in the 2nd.

Rallo and Gagnon

They’ve been strong for them all season. Nice to see them continue to contribute when the cards are on the table.

pattern of home away games

Why does the AHL have 2 away homes, then 3 home games, and then 2 away games for tx?

The NHL is different: 2, 2, 1, 1, 1,

I think they are like the NBA

Where if the travel between cities is something over 300 miles, they do 2-3-2. Under 300, they do 2-2-1-1-1

by Tsudbury on Jun 3, 2010 8:03 PM CDT up reply actions  

I don't think the NBA does that any more...

But yeah that’s the whole thing.. To save on travel costs.

Is the Bears D really this unimpressive?

Or are the Stars just that good?

Maybe both?

It's times like these..

I’d almost suggest taking a penalty just so you can dump the puck down without icing.

I can't believe they actually won!

Hopefully they’ll play that good the rest of the series

The Hershey Bears announcers...

Sounding a little nervous over the fact the Stars have skated into Giant Center and taken game one… Not to mention the Stars large D

Sounds like I missed a pretty good game?

But then Josh is always this excited, isn’t he.
