Congratulations to the Summerside Western Capitals for winning the FRED PAGE CUP.  It was a long road and not without it’s share of drama.  From games that were “scheduled” at the Credit Union Place to penalty trouble and the injury to Playoff MVP Spencer Corchoran, the Caps battled through adversity and came out as champions.  In my eyes, this is a team that epitomizes what Canadian hockey should be about.  Toughness, heart, unsung heroes and clutch performances.

The final game against Dieppe went to double overtime before Mike McIsaac bagged the winner on the team’s 71st.  For more on this game, check out the podcast.

Corey Jeffery came by Pride in The Morning today for After The Game presented by Johnston’s Tire & Truck Centre.  The Caps had a really chippy game against the Sherbroke team.  But managed to keep their emotions in check as they handed their Quebec opponents in a 6-3 thrashing.  The game however was not without it’s losses for the Summerside Western Capitals as playoff MVP Spencer Corchoran went down with a injury and spent the night in the hospital.  Cochoran will not be dressing for tonight’s game.  The Caps are looking for a big win tonight in Dieppe as the winner will get a bye to the Fred Page Cup finals.

So it turns out our bleeched blonde hair was not in vain.  The Summerside Western Capitals clinched the Kent Cup last night in a thrilling 4-3 OT victory over the Truro Bearcats.  Up next, is the Fred Page Cup in Moncton.

GO CAPS GO!

So Corey Jeffery came by this morning for After The Game, presented by Johnston’s Tire & Truck Centre.  We started off by mentioning that his habs lost to my Leafs on Saturday.  A moment of pure heavenly bliss.

Corey took us through an incredible game that saw Mike McIsaac score once and get three assists and Alex Dupuis make 38 saves in 7-4 Caps victory over Miramichi.  A pretty good way for the Summerside Western Capitals to start off their Meek Division Final series if you ask me.  By the way, a big thanks to the 2300 people in attendance at Credit Union Place.  Awesome.  It’s the only word for it.
