I figure it only matters to me, but my Hershey Bears are in the semifinals starting tonight.

Plus, my son was taught by Fred Cassivi, Hershey Bears goalie.

It only the fourth time in AHL history that any team has swept the first two rounds of the Calder Cup Championships.

Hershey plays away tonight, in Portland Maine. I have tickets for games 3 and 4 in Hershey.

B-E-A-R-S BEARS, BEARS, BEARS!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

I figure it only matters to me...

Maybe not, I enjoy a good game no matter who's playing.

Who are the Bears NHL affiliate? Colorado? I know they beat the Pens in the last round.

If things keep going the way they are in the 'Burgh, I may become way more interested in the AHL. (When they become the Kansas City Penguins)

LET'S GO BEARS!!!!!

Blatant vanity hockey ping!

The Hershey Bears won their 9th straight AHL playoff game, defeating the Portland Pirates in a thrilling overtime victory, 2-1.

Things started early, when a fight almost erupted in the tunnel prior to the game.

Portland scored halfway through the first, but that would be their only goal.

Halfway through the third, Bears tied it up, taking the game into overtime. But it took under 2 minutes for ex-Pirates Graham Mink to put the game away, and give the Bears a 2-0 lead in the Conference Finals.

Next two games are in Hershey, and I have tickets!

It's a great time to be a hockey fan in Chocolatetown, PA!!

The Bears are kicking butt this postseason.

At the last Capitals game of the year, I won a Brooks Laich game used and signed stick. I hope he sticks in the NHL next year.
