Today was a big day in sports...
First of all, I attended the Toronto Rock game at the Air Canada Centre. It was a winner-take-all contest that featured the Rock taking on the Washington Stealth. The game was a true nail biter, as the Rock lead the first half by a score of 7-2, and only ended up winning the game 8-7. The Stealth pushed hard, but their effort was not enough in the end. Congrats to the 2011 Toronto Rock, Champions Cup winners!
Also, Finland won the World Hockey Championship today by a score of 6-1! Big win for them as it is their first WHC title since '95.
In the CHL, Owen Sound defeated Mississauga in overtime of the 7th game of their series to take the OHL title. It truly went down to the wire for these two teams and ended in joy for one team and heartbreak for another. They will now both compete for the Memorial Cup.
In the NBA, Oklahoma City eliminated Memphis in game 7 of their series by a score of 105-90. Kevin Durant put up 39 points for OKC and they now advance to the western final to take on the Dallas Mavericks.
All this and the Canucks-Sharks game isn't even on for another half an hour... stay tuned!
I'm really excited for the Sharks. I want this year to be their big play offs. Although if they beat the Canucks in the series and make it to the Stanley Cup, I'll be bummed if they lose.
