Moose Win Western Conference Championship Video

AHL hockey can be pretty damned good, as Game 6 of the Moose-Aeros series proved. Here, finally, are the highlights from that deciding game, since I'm betting that the majority of you haven't seen them. Enjoy!

Keep in mind that Corey Locke is Wild property, and Mark Fistric is a Stars player.

Both are great players.

This is the first time the Moose have been to the Calder Cup Finals since their arrival in Winnipeg in 1996. You think Mike Keane is happy? He chose to stay out of the NHL and play for his hometown Moose with a dream to bring the Calder Cup to Winnipeg.

The Moose did not play the Bears this season. I believe the teams have won 4 games each in their last 8 meetings.

So hockey teams don’t have one farm team where they put players? I don’t think I like the fact that it is many different players who belong to many different teams. Let our future stars gain some chemistry together before they come to the NHL.

That would be preferable, but next to impossible with contracts all over the place.

I think it was the Dallas Stars that didn’t even have a farm team in the AHL until recently.

It probably doesn’t matter too much if it’s an older prospect and/or it’s with teams that play a similar system.

I wish we had Cory Locke. He’s pretty damned good.

So we are tied to playing the way Dallas does or vice versa? It can’t be like that.

Maybe not so much any more, but during 2005-06 you could definitely say they were very similar teams.

No doubt hey? almost every game decided by 1 goal.

He’ll have to bone up on his D first. He might get a couple call-ups, though. It’ll be interesting to see how Hodgson gets handled: go the AHL route or keep him in the bigs and play him 10 minutes a game while he practices with NHLers?

Somebody compared him to Raymond earlier. I agree with that. Raymond wasn’t so good defensively either when he first came in. I think Grabner makes it this season.
