The Florida Everblades advance to the South Division Final. But looking back at the series with the Jacksonville Icemen, and the Florida Everblades showed why they are back-to-back reigning Kelly Cup Champions. The Blades looked dead in the water after Jacksonville took a 3-1 series lead over the Blades with a 5-0 win at Hertz Arena. The Blades allowed 14 goals in the first 5 games of the series. The defense toughened up over the final 3 games of the series allowing just 2 shot to get past Cam Johnson in total. Game 7 was an absolute masterclass of goal tending by Cam Johnson. Here are the highlights if you missed any of the game.
