Everyone thought the series between Brampton and Calgary would go three games, for sure. In the regular season, the Thunder had played the Inferno to the wire, prompting all sorts of questions about advantages and tiebreakers should their records end up identical in the final weekend of play.
But Rebecca Johnston had other ideas. She scored the game-winning goal with 7:33 left in the third period to help her team sweep the Thunder and head to its first-ever Clarkson Cup Final, to be held March 13 in Ottawa. The Inferno face off against Les Canadiennes de Montreal, who also swept their series against the Toronto Furies.
