Toronto Marlies are Calder Cup Champions

They did it! The Marlies won Game 7 and are the AHL Calder Cup Champions!

The Texas Stars goalie Mike McKenna put up a good fight, but with the shots on goal 34-17 after two periods, the Marlies powered to a win with two goals in the first period and two in the third:

The refs called a goal off this scramble, and it sure seems the whistle had blown it dead:

Texas thinks they've scored but the play was blown dead already...

And your captain, Ben Smith put it in the empty net to make it 5-1. Mason Marchment added another, and the rout was complete: 6-1.
