The Abbotsford Canucks defeated the Charlotte Checkers 3-2 in Game 6, claiming their first Calder Cup title. The Checkers initially took a 2-0 lead, bolstered by goals from John Leonard and Jack Devine. However, the Canucks rallied back with three consecutive goals, including a decisive strike from Linus Karlsson. Artūrs Šilovs, the Canucks' goalie, was named the MVP of the playoffs despite the Checkers' efforts to come back in the third period. The Checkers' performance suffered at home, ultimately leading to their defeat and a bittersweet runner-up finish.
"Unfortunately, that would be the last goal that Artūrs Šilovs would yield and Abbotsford would reel off three straight to end the series."
"Charlotte's inability to win on home ice, where they went 1-2 in the series, cost them the crown."
