Default Alaska Kelly Cup Finals Thread

The team looks pretty focused on getting that Kelly Cup.

They did not unleash whoops of jubilation, nor holler to the heavens.

They did not scream or crank up the volume on the stereo.

They clapped, politely, almost perfunctorily, for a few seconds.

“We see something bigger down the road,’’ said defenseman Corey Syvret.

Flames prospects stats in the playoffs with the Aces:

Ramage -> 15 games, 4 goals, 9 assists, 13 points, +10
Elson -> 15 games, 4 goals, 3 assists, 7 points, +7
Martin -> 11 games, 0 goals, 0 assist, 0 points, +3
Roy -> 7 games, 6-1, 2.01 GAA, 0.906 save %

Martin is an RFA, and likely won't be qualified but Elson and Ramage each have another year left on their ELC's.

I also don't see Roy being qualified next season either.

Nice to see Ramage putting up the points like he is, and by all accounts really playing well. Hopefully he takes a step forward next season and has that kind of success at the AHL level.

Also, Kane Lafranchise played a lot for the Heat this past season, and he is doing well also, with 10 point in 9 games these playoffs. Wouldn't be surprised to see the potential late bloomer with the baby Flames again next season.

The Alaska PA announcer is a morning show radio host. Today they attempted to secure a food bet from a Cincinnati radio morning show. The one station they got through to literally said "we don't care". I feel bad for the Cyclones fans. I mean I hope their team is demolished but I also feel bad for their media coverage.

Elson had decent numbers in Abby as a depth guy. He's doing well in Alaska.
Ramage needs a really good camp to avoid being lost in the shuffle.

So apparently this is the ECHL matchup of the Flames vs Panthers/Predators.

And there is another Heat connection:

2001 Kelly Cup Finals.
(Trenton lost the series)

I'm not sure if this is normal tradition or not but there was something on Twitter about a fish head being tossed near the Cyclones goalie after the first goal.

9. Fish
An Alaska Aces (ECHL) tradition. Fans traditionally throw frozen fish (usually salmon) onto the ice after a goal.
