The Springfield Thunderbirds are ready to open up the quest for the Calder Cup.
Game one of the best of three series with the Hartford Wolfpack is tonight at 7 at the Mass Mutual Center.
This is a four/five match up.
Springfield finished the season with 84 points.
Hartford with 81. Mayors Dom Sarno of Springfield and Luke Bronin have made the traditional bets for the series as well.
If the Thunderbirds defeat the Hartford Wolf Pack in the Best-of-3 series, Mayor Bronin will present Mayor Sarno with gifts in the form of Hartford Flavor Company beverages and desserts from Hartford's Modern Pastry Shop.
On the contrary, should the Wolf Pack get the better of Springfield, Mayor Sarno's gift to Mayor Bronin will be Red Rose Pizza and White Lion Brewing Company beer.
