VANCOUVER CANUCKS 3, CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS 1
(Vancouver leads series 2-1)
Vancouver once again took an early lead over Chicago, but this time they didn't choke. The inconsistencies of Chicago's Khabibulin were apparent in this one, and the 36 year old Russian might be worn out. Roberto Luongo, on the other hand, was back to his solid self. Henrik Sedin had his 4th goal of the playoffs and his brother Daniel had an assist.
ANAHEIM DUCKS 2, DETROIT RED WINGS 1
(Anaheim leads series 2-1)
The Ducks are 6-3 this postseason, pretty goddamned impressive when you consider the quality of their competition, and how many road games they've had to play. Teemu Selanne scored for Anaheim in the 1st and veteran Scott Niedermayer scored in the 2nd. Detroit stepped things up, and peppered Jonas Hiller with 35 shots, just in the final 2/3 of the game. Very late in the 3rd, Marian Hossa appeared to knock in a loose puck to tie it up (would have been the 40 goal scorers first playoff point), BUT the ref lost sight of the puck and blew and early whistle. It happens. It just sucks to happen with 1 minute left of a 1 goal playoff game. Then again, Detroit had decided to only play half a hockey game, so I have little sympathy for them.
