THE HURRICANES SECURE THE CONFERENCE TITLE FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE TFHL13
The Hurricanes are back on top in the TFHL. With the 48th win of the season, the Hurricanes took over first place in the entire TFHL from the defending two-time champion Pain and clinched the Eastern Conference title for the first time since TFHL13 when the Hurricanes were knocked out of the playoffs after a 130point season.
"We still have a lot of work to do. The last task is to take home first place in the TFHL, and that will be a tough task as the Pain, Flames and Ice are all nipping away at us. We definitely have the momentum going on and have since the All-Star break. We also have one hell of a goaltender in Brian Boucher, and tonight Frederic Cassivi showed he could take a game in for us too." said Coach Craig MacTavish.
The Hurricanes have become quite a story for the TFHL as they went from dead last in the TFHL all the way to first place. The drive all started right before the All-Star break and hasn't stopped. Calgary fans are lining up for a chance to see what this team can do in the playoffs.
"It's definitely time for changing of the guard when it comes to the TFHL Cup. The Pain, well two seasons in a row is an impressive show. We're good to go to take them on." said Captain Chris Pronger.
BLAST TO THE PAST AND EXPERIENCE
The Calgary Hurricanes have 8 TFHL Cup champions from the TFHL12 winning team including Shawn Bates, Markus Naslund, Chris Pronger, Toby Petersen, Robert Lang, Pavel Kubina, Richard Matvichuk, and back up goaltender Frederic Cassivi.
