It was a beautiful 2 on 1 that saw the Montreal Canadiens AHL affiliate win the championship.
Picture this. It’s game 5 of the 2007 Calder Cup finals, and a pesky Hamilton Bulldogs squad led by coach Don Lever was up 3-1 on the Hershey Bears. With a long line of Calder Cup Success, the Bears had finished 1st in the AHL with 114 points.
Yet, on a Hershey powerplay with the game tied 1-1 with 10 minutes left in the 3rd period, bears forward Tomas Fleischmann’s attempted to forward a pass to the far post.
