AHL Goalie News — Friday May 29, 2009
It’s been awfully quiet on the AHL goalie front, as the conference finals wrapped up and now the league waits until Saturday night to drop the puck on the Calder Cup Finals.
Game Reports
Just a quick recap on the Conference Finals:
- In the East, Michal Neuvirth and his Hershey Bears beat Tuukka Rask and the Providence Bruins after Providence won Game 1, but Hershey went on a 4 game streak to take the series.
- In the West, Cory Schneider and the Manitoba Moose beat Houston and its three different starting goalies (Anton Khudobin, Nolan Schaefer, and Matt Climie, who ended the Round 3 with the second-ranking playoff goaltending stats in the AHL) . The series started with 3 wins for Manitoba, but the Aeros rallied with 2 OT wins before heading back to Manitoba, who finished off the upstarts in Game 6.
