Note II: The Moose played an excellent game 3 last night in Milwaukee as they got started on the right skate courtesy of an early Alex Limoges goal and didn't stop pushing until their power play finally broke through in OT and they won, for the second straight game in extra time to take a 2-1 series lead over the Admirals. They are set to practice today as they prepare for game 4 which could be the series clincher if they can pull off another win. Note III: The Ice earned themselves a four game sweep of the Blades with a 3-2 win in game 4 last night in Saskatoon. They are your Eastern Conference champs and head to the WHL Championship.
