Game 1

First Period:

I hope the Oilers get their skate sharpener fixed, as it seems like quite a few of them are having trouble staying upright when a Hurricane touches them.

Second Period:

Canes played better but need improvement. Didn't like the penalty shot call as I thought Wallin was trying to fish the puck out of the crease; good shot by the whore gap, though. The Oil better watch out for these third-period specialists.

Third Period:

Just a question: When a player tales his hand of the stick, wraps his arms around a player and that other player falls down, shouldn't that be a penalty? Another question: Why doesn't that count when the player infracted is a goaltender?

Canes turned it on, as they usually do when they're behind going into the third. Too bad for Steve Jason Smith and Ty Conklin on the winning goal, but the big goat of the game is none other than Marc Andre Bergeron. Any defenseman who nails a rushing forward into his own goaltender deserves nothing but a pillow case and a bar of soap. What a dipshit.


After Hours:

Good. The Oilers might still pull one out of Raleigh before they head home but now everyone knows they can't take the Canes for granted. Like I said, These men are the real deal.

Craig MacTavish: "Goalie's not good. Won't be back in the series." Oiler fans better be hoping he's talking about Conklin.
