Go Flames Go:
How could the first-round NHL playoffs between the Calgary Flames and the Vancouver Canucks really have been any closer than the triple overtime of game 6? Try a heart-stopping Vancouver equalizer with 5.7 seconds left on the clock in the 3rd period of Game 7!!
It was a hard-fought, closely-matched series. The Canucks, third seed, pit size and experience against the playoff-starved and injury-ridden Calgary team. In the end, it took a Game 7 OT powerplay goal to decide it. Dogged hunger prevailed. The sixth-seeded Flames advance to the second round for the first time in 15 years — when they won the Stanley Cup against Montreal. They now face the first-seeded Detroit Redwings. Go Flames!
