Game 4; So if I watch the SkyCast broadcast. it tells you the last name of the player who is handling the puck, and as the puck is passed, it shows where the puck is going by showing a black line. While a good idea, I'm finding it too distracting and switched to the regular broadcast

Last night the Marlies opened the Cader Cup on the road in Chicago (Wolves). They are the AHL affiliate of the Carolina Hurricanes. The Marlies were victorious with a 4-2 win. They lead the series 1-0. Next game is on Sunday in Chicago. First home game is game 3 on Tuesday. The Calder Cup is a best of 7 series with a 2-3-2 format.

The Chicago Wolves, the AHL affiliate of the Carolina Hurricanes, did not fare as good as their parent club. They lost 5-4 in overtime to the Marlies. The Marlies got 2 from their Captain Logan Shaw including the OT winner. The Marlies also scored on the playoffs first penalty shot to tie the game at 2 in the 2nd. The Marlies had a 4-3 lead until 16 seconds left in the 3rd but gave up the tieing goal.

The Marlies head to Toronto for the next 3 games up 2-0. The Marlies have won 6 straight road games for a 9-3 road record. They are only 5-4 at home.

The Toronto Marlies are 1 win away from a Caulder Cup. The house was packed as the Marlies returned home including my son and I (season ticket holders). The Marlies ground out a 1-0 victory. Our goalie was amazing. I won't try to type his name. His first name is Arthur. He is a Russian. The one goal was stopped (almost) by the Wolves goaltender and it sort of just trickled backwards and just over the line.

The other thing that happened was we would boo intensely whenever Cal Foote touched the puck. Occasionally a "No Means No" chant would break out. Foote is a Wolves defence-man and on of the 5 junior players involved in a gang rape scandal. The court case wound up being dismissed and the NHL lifted the suspensions. Only 2 of the players are active in hockey. Foote and Hart (the Las Vega$ goalie). Ironically Carolina fans were equally nasty to Hart when he was playing in the Stanley Cup games in Carolina while Foote may wind up playing for their own team.

I'm not sure if the "ca" in the Marlies' web address means "Canada" or "Calder cup." Maybe both! Game 4 is 7 PM June 18.

.ca is for Canadian internet site.
