It was just a great series, and Sharp could have finished it for the Hawks in OT. Still hard to believe that the Canucks blew a 3-0 series lead.

Wish the Canucks would have won it all last season.

Highlight-reel goals, overwhelmingly dominant offense from two of the best attacking teams in the game, hard hitting, baffling saves, consecutive Luongo blowouts… yeah, pretty much everything you’d expect. =D

I’ll bet the Hockey Gods decided since Vancouver wanted to have their Stanley Cup celebration after winning a first round series that they didn’t need a another one…..

Man, you can hate the ‘Nucks, you can hate Alex Burrows, but holy shit, was that a goal. I’ve only seen a couple of series end in more spectacular manners than that. The whole game was dead even, great scoring chances, defensive plays and saves from both sides… and then that goal to seal it in overtime. And what a way to do it. Man, that was a game.

Happiest moment of the cup run for Canucks fans, along with Burrows’ OT wraparound against Chara and Thomas being a close second.

I still get goosebumps watching that. That series seemed to have a bit of everything.
