As soon as the CWHL Draft ended, people were already buzzing. Montreal and Calgary were the talk of the league even then and it would be up to them to prove it.
Just look at the players they drafted. Marie-Philip Poulin, Hayley Wickenheiser, Brianne Jenner, Jill Saulnier, Blayre Turnbull, Karell Emard, Katia Clement-Heydra, Elana Lovell, Leslie Oles, Brigette Lacquette.
That's just between these two teams. And that doesn't even look at the talent these teams already had. Rebecca Johnston, Caroline Ouellette, Lauriane Rougeau, I could go on and on.
Both teams lived up to their expectations and will fittingly battle it out for the Clarkson Cup.
