Game Day – CV vs CGY – 05.11.2023
Calgary Wranglers head coach Mitch Love said it best: it’s time to reset.
After picking up a 3-1 series win over the Abbotsford Canucks in Round 2 of the Calder Cup Playoffs, the club has a new challenge ahead of them in the Pacific Division Final vs. the high-powered Coachella Valley Firebirds.
“They present a lot of different challenges, they’re a good hockey team,” Love said earlier this week. “We had some meaningful affairs in their building down the stretch. I think that was a little more of the makeup of each team.”
AHL Morning Skate: May 11, 2023
The highly anticipated showdown between Calgary and Coachella Valley gets underway tonight with Game 1 of the Pacific Division finals... The Wranglers edged the Firebirds for the Macgregor Kilpatrick Trophy as the AHL’s regular-season champions, finishing with 106 points to Coachella Valley’s 103... Both clubs have already been tested this postseason
On a season-long collision course, Wranglers and Firebirds set for long-anticipated duel
No other team in the league had more points than the two rivals.
So it always sort of felt like the Pacific Division final playoff matchup that kicks off Thursday at the Saddledome was inevitable.
“I feel like it’s been a neck-and-neck race for the whole year, ever since Game 1, in the standings,” said Wranglers winger Walker Duehr. “And every time we play them, I think our record is .500. They have a really good veteran group and they have some elite players and a great goaltender. I would say a lot of similarities to our team, so I think it will be a really good matchup.

Great GDT guy.
Highly recommend checking out a game if you are able. Super seamless in-and-out of the arena. Bathroom and food lines are short.
The hockey is fantastic and the production is scaled back so the actual event is really quick, which I like. The whole game feels like the equivalent of NHL playoff overtimes where there are no TV timeouts and the tempo is quick.

I can't believe the Wranglers are still in this one. Most disjointed they've looked all year.
