In the end the Charlotte Checkers, who ended the regular season with the most points in the AHL, were too much to handle for the Hershey Bears. This one came in a sweep in the second round. The Washington Capitals, as we all know, fell to the Hurricanes in Game 7 and that club also swept their opponent in the second round just like their AHL team.
The latest victim of that storm surge? Barry Trotz’s New York Islanders. Anyway back to the AHL action.
First the Checkers took command by scoring the first four goals of the game.
