Six days removed from making the Calder Cup Playoffs by the skin of their teeth, the San Jose Barracuda faced off against the team that was responsible for them clinching: the Tucson Roadrunners.
Let’s recap last Saturday’s crazy events:
With the San Diego Gulls losing and the ‘Cuda winning, it came down to a scenario in which both teams, with the addition of the Stockton Heat, had to win and scoreboard watch. The Barracuda pulled out a tight victory over the Heat, 2-1, eliminating them from the playoffs- then after lots of edge-on-your-seat action in Tucson, the Roadrunners sent the Gulls to Torrey Pines, winning 5-2 and thus thrusting the Barracuda into the playoffs.
