BREAKING: AHL goalie SUSPENDED after winning Calder cup
Alex Lyon of the Chicago Wolves AHL team was the brick wall that helped his team win the Calder Cup, shutting out the Springfield Thunderbirds in 5 games.
Game 5 just happened to be in Springfield, Massachusetts and while celebrating his victory, he decided to make a gesture to a few fans in the stands. Lyon flipped the bird to a few fans while celebrating in his crease and also gave the finger during the teams post-game photo.
