So much for the American teams

May 26th, 2007 Hockey


Well all my sarcastic chants for U-S-A! U-S-A! have gone for naught.

It will be the Medicine Hat Tigers and the Vancouver Giants facing off on Sunday for the Memorial Cup, the trophy symbolizing supremacy in Canadian junior hockey.

Plymouth lost last night in the semi final by a score of 8-1 to Vancouver. Ouch!

The finals take place tomorrow at 4PM at GM Place in Vancouver. This tournament has shattered all Memorial Cup attedance records.

I had predicted Lewiston to win it all, and they looked like the worst of the four teams. What the hell do I know anyway!

May 27 update…. Vancouver 3, Medicine Hat 1, final…. Vancouver Giants win the 2007 Memorial Cup

    Not really. The MAINEiacs were plagued by some horrid bad luck. But,Sportsnet noted that even when they lost the game,they did so with a lot of class-making sure to thank the city of Vancouver,among many others.

Got something to say? Drop it here.
