Prospect Info: Hershey Bears/South Carolina Stingrays 2023-24 Seasons | Hershey 12x (and Defending) Champions Edition

Never in doubt

The wagon is still rolling. They had some bad moments in this series but the overtime magic to the rescue. 3 OT wins in this series, including a Game 7 one is impressive. Slightly annoying that all those resulted in them blowing leads but either way, they won 3.

New series coming up. Huge advantage CV with the break they had but all in all, they are still a very winnable team for Bears if they can just find a path back to their own game. They've seemed a bit lost at times so far.

I sat on the floor (to keep myself awake) for game 7 last year. Thought why not and sat on the floor to watch last night's game 7. My kid tells me I'm not allowed to sit on the couch again to watch hockey now. Not sure where GC will let me sit on the floor though for games 6 & 7. Couldn't get Friday off for game 1 and have other plans on Sunday that can't be changed. Hope it comes back from Cali for at least one game unless it is Bears in 4 or 5!!

I’m in the same boat. Hoping to get a game 6 at home as I have other plans this weekend that can’t be changed. Should be a great series, especially if Hershey can get their guys semi healthy

New rally towels for games 1+2 of the Calder Cup Finals!!!!!

Same. Can’t make it up this weekend given schedule, Father’s Day, etc. So hopefully game 6.

Garrett Roe dedicates Game 7 overtime-winning goal to late mother after sending Hershey Bears to the 2024 Calder Cup Finals

HERSHEY, PA -- The Hershey Bears are going to Calder Cup Finals for a second straight year and it's thanks to an…

Roe is one of the easiest guys to root for, and the roar taunt by Cleveland after game 6 genuinely pissed the team off. The article is wrong in saying that Strome taunted Christiansen after the game last night, though- that was Jiricek. Christiansen was the guy laying on the ice for several minutes afterward.

I love that dedication from Roe, as someone who's mom passed during COVID and gets a lot of cardinals in their backyard, lol

I have no idea what a Stanley cup is (besides those mugs with lead in them), but someone told me to try this NHL thing. Who we got tonight?

Florida.

I hope this isn't a bad sign for our injured players not being ready in time

We already knew Johansen was out for season. Looks like Ness may be too.

That would be extremely unfortunate if so. He skated and didn't look too bad before game 6. Not sure if he had a setback or what. I'm hoping it's because they want an extra body to head out west in case of additional injuries.

Extra bodies and an extra lefty. The only healthy lefty that was left was Leivermann I believe.

 

[MFHOOD]

I tried to watch that NHL game last night and I'm sorry but that was boring as shit lol, I feel like the Bears Monsters series had more scrap to it than either team did last night

32 thoughts ended with a Calder Cup segment. They mentioned Todd Nelson is 3-0 all time against Dan Bylsma in the CC finals. Once as a player, once as an assistant and the win last year as a head coach. Interesting little stat

Will be interesting to see how slots in on the backend then. They might end up going with a LHD or Osipov. I might lean towards Osipov just for the physicality aspect and the veteran presence. Leivermann isn’t very polished

 

[swansonsays]

I agree to play Osipov tonight. CV seemed more physical than Cleveland was watching pieces of their last series. Going to be critical to come out fast because CV does. They had two 4 goal first periods in five games against Milwaukee. With CV being a house of horrors (for the most part) last year, if CV wins one in Hershey, we don't get a game 6 (I don't think). Winner tonight takes the series is my prediction.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Man thats alot of injuries to the D we have to overcome

 

[Holtbyisms]

Rumor is Vinny is shut down for the season like Lujo now. Ness could still return though but won't be back for game 1.

 

[MFHOOD]

Osipov should def. be in tonight. The injury news certainly isn't great, but I don't think it dictates the entire outcome here either. If we can get If Frank is back, and we can get Ness back ASAP.. It's looking a little better.

I saw a potential broken hand

 

[MFHOOD]

We honestly should have just called up the entirety of the South Carolina Stingrays to give the rest of our players more time to rest lmao

There is no time to rest. This is the finals. Too bad LuJo and Iorio are done.

Swayer is a right Dee which makes sense if Iorio out for season. Osipov is lefty.

Full set of forwards. Soon in at 3LD.

Honestly, doesn't look bad considering what we're going through -shrugs-
