The Canadian Shield XIII Playoffs

#1 Toronto Terriers versus #4 Vancouver Glaciers
We have yet another postseason matchup between two of Canada's megapolis.  The Terriers have been a force to be reckoned with but haven't won it all since 2003.  Could this be the year? The Glaciers also want to get back on top after a few years with the Shield.

Well, seeing that roster had me learn something new. Sean Avery was with the Red Wings?!

In Ontario, both. In Quebec, Rouge. Every other province, Red. NW Territories, Yukon, and Nunavut, I can't answer.

Either way, a damn good series, and can't wait for the finals! Let's go Wranglers!
