Wow. Impatient much? Just give them some time.

what was the season series between Calgary and TC? I seem to just see one game where the Hitmen won 3-1 with an empty netter?

We only face the US division teams once a year.

I recall that game, it was a good battle. If this series plays out like that one did, it should be an entertaining final.

Please enlighten me as I'm obviously missing the joke here. Why is moon getting thanked for his prediction?

I went to Game 6 in Vancouver. Couldn't believe how little urgency the Giants had, especially on the PP.

Tri-City is fast, and puck-hungry in close. Should be a great final!

Bork has been skating with the Hitmen in preparation for the Worlds.

Not really news but kind of interesting nonetheless.

Congrats to Martin Jones, who was named goaltender of the year! Stone lost the defenceman of the year award though.

Eberle was a no brainer as player of the year.

Nugent-too-many-last-names won rookie of the year in another no brainer decision.

Hitmen coaches seem to get no respect at all for coach of the year.

Mark Holick did a formidable job with a team that many people thought would miss the playoffs this season.. albeit they peaked much too early.

Also very nice to see Matt Fraser recognized for his humanitarian work, he has done a TON in his time in Cranbrook.

[I wanna be like Miikka]

Wow Hitmen up 4-0 in the 1st period!

Game is in HD on channel 311 but the video and audio are so badly out of sync.

yeah...like 10 seconds out of sync. Video first, then audio. it's freaky to have the PBP guy get all excited as if there's a scoring chance as it's in the neutral zone.

5-0 Hitmen in the 2nd period. Kozun finishes off a nice passing play.

[LockedOut]

6-0 Hitmen. End of 2nd period.
