2023-24 ECHL Season Thread

[JMCx4]

End of 2 periods in Florida, still 3-0 home guys. Blades' D-man Will Reilly had his celly waived off late in the period when the referees ruled a Florida forward was in the Adirondack crease of his own choosing. Both teams kept up their mean-spirited play, and the refs mostly let 'em go. Period #3 oughta be a hoot.

 

[jabberoski]

more like when is Adirondack going the way of Colorado when they dominated the Kelly Cup then whined about it when they weren't even in the ECHL

 

[JMCx4]

Final Score = Everblades 4 - Thunder 0. ENG with just over one minute left was acored by Bobo Carpenter. Florida leads the series 2-1, Game 4 will be on Friday night in Estero.

[PanniniClaus]

Pair of 3-2 series. Not bad at all.

Pair of 3-2 series. Not bad at all.

Not bad for fans & ownerships & arena management companies. Bad for players who will suffer more fatigue & possibly injuries.

Some good old time hockey in THN….

 

[JMCx4]

While I was snoozing ... the KC Mavericks are one period & a 3-0 lead away from eliminating the Toledo Walleye in the Western Conference Finals. Two goals by Jeremy McKenna and one by Cole Coskey have the regular season champs on a roll going into the 3rd period of Game 6.

ETA: McKenna completes the hatty in the 2nd minute of the 3rd, 4-0 Mavs on home ice.

 

[VaCaps Fan]

That’s a wrap….

 

[JMCx4]

That’s a wrap….

Toledo was the 2nd best team in the League through the regulare season. No rotund soprano warming up yet.

ETA: OK, 5-0 courtesy of Max Adreev right after KC kills a penalty.

 

[JMCx4]

TOL's Matt Anderson gets one back @ 11 mins left in the 3rd.

 

[JMCx4]

Toledo pulls their goalie with more than 5 mins left in desperation time, and KC's Theo Calvas gets the ENG.

 

[JMCx4]

Justin Nachbar makes it 7-1 late.

The Kansas City Mavericks are headed to their first Kelly Cup championship series, after eliminating the Toledo Walleye in Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals with a 7-1 victory. Waiting for Florida or Adirondack.
