Weekend Division Playoffs:

CAHL Cup Championship

Jets vs. Pylons on Sunday, May 13

.

The puck dropped at 9:05PM on Sunday night for the CAHL Cup Championship between the Jets and Pylons. The Pylons all-star goalie Martin Gregoire set the tone early with a great butterfly save on the Jets top scorer Chris Macgregor as he broke in on a two on one break. At the other end of the ice the Jets goaltender Geoff Hwang let his presence be known as he turned away multiple short range scoring chances from the Pylons as his team was being out shot by more than a two to one margin.

At the 6:15 mark, the Jets 1.48 points per game scorer Don Sheriff set his sights on the back of the net which was just a mere few feet away as he took a shot from just outside the crease area, however Martin Gregoire responded with a tremendous save.

Late in the period, Jason Wroblewsky, the Jets captain flew past the Pylons defenders for a breakaway and took a big slap shot however once again Martin Gregoire came up with the great stop. The shots through the first period were 17-7 with the Pylons holding the upper hand. The score was still the same as when the game started though, 0-0, as both goalies were simply unbeatable.

Jets all-star defenceman Ryan Lloyd was at the top of his game as he made an incredible poke check from behind knocking away the puck from the ever dangerous Pylons top scorer and captain David Hughes who was a step ahead and all alone facing the Jets net. On a power play opportunity later in the second period, Denny Englehart of the Jets, made two amazing dekes as he went around a couple of Pylon players to meet face to face with the Pylons last line of defence, Martin Gregoire, who then made an awesome butterfly save stopping the play cold. A great shorthanded chance arose when the Pylons goal per game scorer Brian Abildgaard skated in unattended towards the Jets net, however Geoff Hwang thwarted away the puck with a perfect poke check.

The Jets Denny Englehart had another great chance in the final period as he took a shot from point blank range only to be turned back by an excellent save from Martin Gregoire. However Denny Englehart was relentless and on the rebound he once again took a wrist shot which sent the puck flying off his blade and into the back of the mesh. The Jets erupted with excitement as it was the first goal of the game with only 7:07 left showing on the score clock.

The pressure on both teams mounted even further however Martin Gregoire's response was yet another great save. This time it was a colossal glove grab on a shot from 39 goal scorer Jason Wroblewsky at the 6:02 mark to keep it a one goal game. The Pylons continued taking shots as the clock ticked away towards zero. Geoff Hwang never wavered between the pipes, not allowing anything to get past him. Even as the Pylons David Hughes skated out into the slot and took a big wrist shot, Geoff Hwang swung out his right pad to knock the puck out of harms way.

The final seconds ran down to the joy of the Jets as they celebrated their CAHL Cup Championship victory. Jets captain Jason Wroblewsky was presented with the CAHL Cup and the Pylons were awarded the CAHL Silver Medals. Geoff Hwang was awarded the CAHL 2006-2007 Playoff MVP Trophy as he was unbelievable in stopping all 37 shots for the shutout CAHL Cup Championship win.
