The ECHL Kelly Cup Finals Thread

Well gang, the ECHL affiliate of the Calgary Flames battle onwards in the playoffs! This year, the Las Vegas Wranglers have worked their way into the Kelly Cup Finals as National Conference Champions and seek to oust the Cincinnati Cyclones for the league title.

After two games in Ohio, the series is tied at one game apiece. Cincinnati won Game 1 by a 4-2 margin thanks to a pair of goals from ECHL scoring kingpin David Desharnais. However, Wranglers G Kevin Lalande bounced back from a subpar Game 1 effort with a stellar 27-save performance for his second shutout of the playoffs as Las Vegas evened the series up with a 1-0 win.

The series continues with three games in Las Vegas' Orleans Arena Thursday, May 29, Friday, May 30 and Monday, June 2 before returning to Cincinnati for Games 6 and 7, if necessary.
