Hershey Bears Enter the Playoffs on a High Note (Photos)

The Hershey Bears needed wins to get in and win they did. On Saturday, they defeated the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins to clinch a spot in the playoffs, and on Sunday, they defeated the Providence Bruins to move up to third place in the standings. With this weekend’s wins, the Hershey Bears will roll into the playoffs in Lehigh Valley coming off a five game win streak to end the season.

When you realize it’s Sunday and you have to go to back to work tomorrow.

Pheonix Copley is rolling around making saves.

Travis Boyd almost rolls it on his way over to accept his award.

Don’t worry though. He’s ok and Helmer was there to save him.

Jakub Vrana is all smiles, returning to the bench after scoring.

Thanks for the help there Christian.

Sad Bruins and a happy Aussie.

Hockey fans always have to be on alert. You just never know when a helmet will fly into the crowd.

And he makes the catch! Also, love the angry Liam face.

Here you go. You might need this back.

Are you not entertained, Hershey?

Sill is always up to something.

When hugs turn into you getting choked. Also, Vitek smiles. 🙂

Shut out feelings.

The boys are headed to the playoffs!

You there! Would you like a puck from Zach Sill? Of course you do!

Pucks for the Easter bunnies.
