Manitoba Moose vs Hershey Bears: GAME 1 Calder Cup Final May 30th/2009

From way up in the upper decks of the MTS Centre, come the first goal & game tying goal late in the 3rd period of the first ever Calder Cup Final game in Manitoba Moose History.

Although the Moose would go on to lose this game eventually in OT after very poor officiating, this video really represents the passionate hockey fans Winnipeg has. Throughout the game the fans were loud & proud showing true love for the game of hockey and taking time to indulge in the Wave, Singing along to the National Anthem, and drowning out the Goal Horn with applause and appreciation for the Moose players effort tonight.

The battle for the 2009 Calder will be long, and tough but, with a crowd backing the franchise as displayed in these videos, the 7th Man on the ice WILL be a factor in helping the Manitoba Moose achieve it's first ever Calder Title.

This was the loudest Ive heard the building, and with the camera as a witness, the building did shake tonight. I can only sit back and imagine how insane this place will be once the NHL reigns in this city of Winnipeg once again. Until then..

GO MOOSE GO!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Hendrix how many cups do the moose have we'll finish you guys off and set another record in the record books

[JHendrix70]

How many cups have we won? You're comparing Apple's to Orange's there Kid. How long have the Bears been in the AHL compared to the Manitoba Moose: Oh right, 71 Years compared to our 13!! The bears have won 9 Calders during that time which is somewhat impressive. The Manitoba Moose will never reach that number of Calder Cups as the NHL will be back in Winnipeg within the next couple of years. Be proud you'll always have that on us Moose Fans.....( sarcasm is the key there.....)

Bring'Em Back!

Looks like the Hershey Bears took a bite of the ol' moose burger tonight in Manitoba with a hard fought 5-4 win in overtime in game 1 of the 2009 AHL Calder Cup Finals...one down three to go! LET'S GO BEARS!!!

[JHendrix70]

3 of 5 Hershey goals were flukes! No doubt about that. They put up a good fight but, certainly did NOT deserve the win. This is going to be a great series and one for the record books i'm sure! Good luck to your Hershey fans, you're going to need it :)

This was great amount of fans of moose and I loved going to sold out or good sized attendances for moose games, but man I can't wait for jets back, and arena going to be filled to max and as loud as ever!

[BlueFan4Life]

Remember that game people? Now that the Jets are back... That first game is going to be 2x louder than what was displayed here! GO JETS GO

[NessMencesal]

Hey Hershey.. 3-peat...OF LOSING TO MY WBS PENS, INCLUDING 6-2 AT YOUR OWN HOUSE! EAT IT~!

[NessMencesal]

Nice looking Arena there.

[NessMencesal]

Bears Suck, Penguins are where it's at! I have season tix to the Pens and see them face the moose sometimes, but WE WANT THE JETS!

[mattopy]

First things first... FIND A WILLING NHL OWNER to bring the jets back. The arena is small compared to most BUT IT IS STATE OF THE ART!! that is a plus. buy the sunbelt teams ranging from Phoenix to Florida (Prefer the Coyotes, they are the original Jets and Shane Doan is also the Remaining Jet from long ago). I hope and pray that this happens and maybe we can have Quebec Nordiques back. ohh the Habs and Nords, Jets, Canucks? (sorry if this is incorrect) Rivalry will be reborn again!!

WINNIPEG GO BACK IN NHL IN 2010 if you want

[greenfire100]

So was I....Sorry my friend and I kept getting in the way of the video:P

[luziroandthemelee]

what's your point? seems like a weak excuse. if you break it down that's a championship for hershey every 7.8 years, and given the fact that manitoba has 0 in 13 where if the ratio were parallel they should technically have 1.6 championships under their belt. thus, they are lagging competitively by 166%... this doesn't even include the amount of division championships earned!

"somewhat impressive"??? it IS impressive.
