The Calder Cup Playoffs are here, everyone. Get excited! The Hershey Bears made it in the playoffs with victories in their last two games, landing division rival the Lehigh Valley Phantoms in the first round. Game One was a pretty close race and a battle of the goalies, needing extra time to break the 0-0 tie. In the end, it was everyone’s favorite Aussie, Nathan Walker, who sealed the deal in OT, giving the Bears the win in the best of five series.
Mid fall but still gets the shot off.
A little extra defensive help from your forwards.
Ok, and a little help from your defensemen.
The headlock defense method – I like it!
Would you look at that, more saves!
0-0 games = saves for days
Stan working hard out there.
Gloves on.
Gloves off.
Focus on the face off.
Stoic before OT starts.
Glove saves, pad saves, blocker saves. Pheonix does it all really.
I think you can tell by these smiling faces how the game ended.
High fives.
An even bigger high five for the OT winner.
Aussie! Aussie! Aussie!
