Tried looking up the song but it sound like the victory song for the Marlies was “Beer for my horses” by Toby Keith

So, you know what to play tonight

[Mike Fink @Finks_thoughts]

Alex Nylander with the open look from the slot and he gets this one past Murashov to send the Marlies to the Calder Cup Final

@Finks_thoughts The 36-36 and 4th place toronto marlies will play for a cup. Its about getting hot at the right time. The last time TOR went to a cup final it was again a 38-38 TEX team that did the same thing with the sterling @MikeMcKenna56 .

WBS put in the extra effort to pack the arena for this Sunday night game.
The fans have been treated to a show. About as good a game as it gets

This overtime is as they say "absolute cinema"

[Mike Fink @Finks_thoughts]

We are back for overtime. It’s a tie game at 1 & next goal either forces a Game 7 or ends this series

[Mike Fink @Finks_thoughts]

This game is heading to overtime tied at 1.
- If WBS scores, there's a Game 7 on Tuesday night
- If Toronto scores, they head to the Calder Cup Final for the first time since 2018

[Mike Fink @Finks_thoughts]

Back for the third period of Game 6
1-1 game

End of 2:
1-1 Score
Ice is bad & it's becoming a tough grind-it-out type of game

[Mike Fink @Finks_thoughts]

This line has done damage throughout the playoffs & #MapleLeafs prospect Easton Cowan bats the puck out of the air & into the net to tie the game

[Mike Fink @Finks_thoughts]

Tie game with Easton Cowan batting the puck out of the air
1-1

(Cowan hitting the puck like a baseball, so he can always join the Blue Jays in case hockey doesn't work out)

[Mike Fink @Finks_thoughts]

Back for the 2nd:
It’s 1-0 WBS

[Mike Fink @Finks_thoughts]

End of 1:
1-0 WBS

[Mike Fink @Finks_thoughts]

The cross-ice pass by Avery Hayes finds an open Aidan McDonough to give the WBS the first goal of the game

[Mike Fink @Finks_thoughts]

Goal!
Aidan McDonough (4th)
1-0 WBS
