There's not much point in changing the title, the reasons to cheer haven't changed.

Last night, the Toronto Marlies [defeated](http://www.marlies.ca/news/news.asp?story%5Fid=2261&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) the Oklahoma City Barons 3-1 to advance to the Calder Cup finals. [Matt Frattin](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/130845/matt-frattin?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) had two goals (including an empty-netter to seal the deal), and [Simon Gysbers](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/122157/simon-gysbers?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) had the winner.

Over at Marlies HQ,[ Jeffler has some thoughts](http://marlieshq.com/2012/05/25/marlies-headed-to-calder-cup-finals/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) on the game.

Now, the [New Jersey Devils](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/new-jersey-devils?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) defeating the [New York Rangers](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/new-york-rangers?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) is more good news for people who enjoy entertaining hockey. The old, trapping Devils we grew to loathe have been gradually transformed into a more entertaining team to watch, even if the old goalie hasn't been changed.
