The Houston Aeros return home down 3-2 in the best-of-seven Calder Cup Finals, needing a win in Game 6 to force a Game 7 in Houston Wednesday night. Toyota Center figures to be packed with the biggest hockey crowd of the season. The lower bowl was almost sold out by Monday afternoon.

Houston held a 2-1 lead in the series, but the Binghamton Senators have reeled off two straight wins to move one W from the AHL Championship. This is minor league hockey, but the AHL is the best minor league hockey league in the world and many of these players will have a chance to compete in the NHL someday. But first, they're playing for a title. And in the Aeros' case, a chance to extend the season one more day.
