Calgary Inferno narrow out Brampton Thunder for Game 1 victory
The Calgary Inferno had to know they were facing a tough opponent in the CWHL playoff semifinals. Having just narrowly secured home ice advantage against the Brampton Thunder the week before in a playoff preview, it looked to be a series that would feature two teams closely matched up against one another.
The Inferno dominated to start, but the Thunder clawed their way back into it to make for an extremely intense game that came down to the last seconds.
In the end, the Inferno prevailed, and are now one win away from going to the Clarkson Cup. Game 2 is today, Feb. 27, at 6:15 p.m. in Winsport's Markin MacPhail rink.
