game 4

my edmonton oilers finished 2nd in the west with a 47-27-8 record, good for 102 points.

I won the northwest division.

First round of playoffs I am matched up with the vancouver canucks...the series is at 2-1 for the oil.
game 1 - Oil 4 Canucks 1
game 2 - Oil 4 Canucks 0
game 3 - Canucks 2 Oil 1 - OT

GAME 4

The 1st period
no scoring...6 shots aside with both teams playing fairly defensive, not wanting to make mistakes.

2nd period
Cogliano had a wide open net on the Powerplay mid way through the period but sent the shot over the net...this was the best chance for the Oil all period long. Canucks open the scoring at 16:09 of the 2nd...darcy hordichuk scores his 1st of the playoffs. prior to that the canucks hit 2 posts...so one was bound to go in. overall this period was very even except the canucks buried a goal and the Oil didn't. the shots at the end of the 2nd are Oil 21, Canucks 18. Luongo is playing great.

3rd period
The Oilers tie the game up at 1-1 when hemsky pounces on a rebound to beat Luongo. Heatley gets credit for an assist, his shot set up the play, as does Marc Savard. Its Hemsky's 3rd goal of the playoffs.

The Canucks go up 2-1 when Ryan Johnson scores on a nifty move around Bret Hedican with 9:43 left in the 3rd.

2 minutes later, Pavel Demitra capitalizes on a turnover by Sheldon Souray and pots his 2nd of the postseason. 3-1 canucks.

Daniel Sedin scored an empty net goal to make it a 4-1 final

SERIES goes back to Edmonton 2-2
