I watched the game today and I plan on watching the rest of them. Memorial Cup is some of the best hockey you'll see. I have a feeling this year is gonna be great, looks like four fairly evenly matched teams.

Belleville takes one 6-3 over Gatineau
following a 2-1 Kitchener loss to Spokane
Gatineau has Spokane tomorrow and could spell the end of the road for them
Spokane already secured a final berth with wins over both Kitchener and Belleville
--
On a side note I spent about an hour with Walter Gretzky tonight escorting him through the lower level.
Funny guy with lots of great stories!

Was at Game 3. Meet Spokane goalie Dustin Tokarski's dad in the lobby. Told him he played well and deserved the first star. Kitchener had some great chances. I think it's going to be a Kitchener-Spokane final. Great atmosphere in the rink. One of the best games i saw in the regular season was a Kitchener- Belleville game that Kitchener won 2-1. Belleville's goalie is excellent.

GO!!!! CHIEFS!!!!
I have met Trevor Glass a few times, I work with his old billeter here in Medicine Hat.
Trevors a super nice kid and a heck of a hockey player. I gave him a Mcfarlane custom of himself during last years playoff run.

I'm a big Belleville fan and was at the Bulls v Spokane game and the Bulls v Gatineau games too.
Had seats 5 rows behind the Rangers home bench.
I think the girlfriend is tired of driving to Kitchener from Toronto, we went to 3 of the OHL final games and 2 Memorial Cup games so far....
Murphy, the Bulls goalie is awesome.
Matthias is getting into a groove, he is going to be very dangerous in the upcoming games.
It is pretty funny that after a 7 game OHL final, the Bulls and Rangers have 2 more games against each other!!

Is there a Memorial cup website that updates scores live? The M/C memorial cup site is a POS!, no updates on scores. Please post if you know of a site!

Yeah, I think they put all those jerseys on ebay to benefit a CHL foundation.

My work schedule has prevented me from seeing any games. Sucks too because I've heard great things about the tournament.

Last night's game was great hockey!.
The Bulls have won 4 of the last 5 games against the Rangers and tomorrow is going to be fantastic!
I am still trying to keep my eyes open for tickets for tomorrow, if the Bulls can win, there is a good chance that I could find some tickets for the final, just because the Rangers won't be there.
I'm already making my plans for tomorrow night, just to be sure I am not rushed in getting ready for game time myself!!
Go Bulls Go!!

Spokane takes the cup and then breaks it!!
Luckily only a replica
Before th game started I had come up with a score of Spokane 4 Kitchener 1
which was based on the 5 hottest fans I saw - 4 were wearing Spokane gear 1 was wearing Kitchener
not scientific, but I was bored when the fans were coming into the Arena

I think the cupmeisters must have been Rangers fans and sabotaged it.... ;)
When I first watched the trophy presentation live I though the Chiefs captain was careless with it, but watching the replay, you could see it just plain old busted and fell apart on the guy. I busted a gut laughing initially, but then felt bad for the team that their trophy moment was tarnished like that.

On a side note, they had a volunteer appreciation dinner last night
When the Rangers showed up Pepe almost dropped the OHL trophy
Not sure if it was a joke or it really slipped
All the Rangers attended to thank the 500+ volunteers
and stayed for autographs and photos
All were there except Boedker
Great event and great team!
Next year Ramouski gets the challenge of topping Kitchener for a top notch event!
