Alex Burrows stepped up his game scoring early and putting the home team on the board first. Stressing the importance of scoring first in the playoffs. The Hawks battled their way back and tied the game while killing a penalty with 2 minutes to go in the 3rd period. Jonathan Toews scored for the Hawks. How fitting that the game 7 would go into overtime. Five minutes into overtime Vancouver's Burrows forced a turnover and went in on a breakaway and blasted a rolling puck over the shoulder of the Hawks rookie goalie for his second of the game. The Canucks will now play Nashville and Detroit will face San Jose in the Western Conference Semi Finals
Eastern Conference- Philadelphia will move on after a convincing game 7 victory over Buffalo. Philly built a 4-0 lead and never looked back. They will wait to see who the face in the second round
Montreal beat the Bruins 2-1 to force a game 7. Montreal's best players rose to the occasion. Cammalleri and Gionta scored for the Habs (both on the power play) Sidenberg scored for the Bruins
More game 7's .... 4 out of 8 of the first round series went to 7 games - It doesn't get more exciting than this!
Tonight the Habs are in Boston and Tampa Bay are in Pittsburgh for their final game 7
