roster changes for Edmonton...
Tom Gilbert takes Bret Hedican's spot in the lineup

1st period
-At the 8 minute mark, Luongo makes a ridiculous save on Gagner to save a goal. WOW!
-With 8:34 left in the 1st, Cogliano opens the scoring with a shot from the slot that Luongo gets a piece of but not enough. Its his 1st of the series and the assist goes to Tom Gilbert! 1-0 EDMONTON
-Staios gives the puck away and then gets called for tripping with 3 minutes left in the 1st period.
-SHORTHANDED GOAL!!!! Cole jams a Savard rebound past Luongo to make it 2-0 EDMONTON. his 2nd of the series, Savard and Souray get the assists.
-the Oilers penalty kill is again rock solid, they kill it off and the period ends with EDMONTON up 2-0
-shots...Edmonton 12...Vancouver 9

2nd period
-Visnovsky takes a ticky-tack holding penalty 2:30 into the 2nd period
-with 35 seconds left in the 1st PP, Staios takes another tripping penalty...Vancouver will have a 5 on 3 PP for 35 seconds.
-the Oil kill another penalty...definitely the best part of their game in this series
-Immediately after the penalty kill, Moreau gets called for cross checking...the ref is obviously from Vancouver.
-The Oil kill another penalty...the Canuck PP has been awful all series long...or is it just good penalty killing??
-FYI - Roloson has been very good today, very solid, no big rebounds
-with a couple seconds left in the 2nd...Horcoff takes a bad tripping penalty
-END OF PERIOD - STILL 2-0 EDMONTON
-shots...Edmonton 15...Vancouver 20

3rd period
-Oil kill another penalty...Canucks now 0-5 on the PP tonight
-Another penalty, Horcoff for cross checking...what a crock...6 penalties for Edmonton, 0 for Vancouver
-finally Canucks score on the PP, its Ryan Kesler, his 2nd of the series, making it 2-1 EDMONTON
-this is getting stupid...Pisani makes the penalty margin 7-0 when he gets called for tripping...unbelievable. 11 minutes left in the 3rd.
-Vancouver scores...2-2. Bieksa fires one from the point and Daniel Sedin tips it past Roloson...his 3rd of the postseason
-2-2 TIE...9 30 left in the 3rd
-Stortini gets called for tripping...with 5 minutes to go...ridiculous
-Demitra scores...3-2 Canucks...8-0 in powerplays for Vancouver...so stupid...4 51 left to go
-Daniel Sedin feeds his brother Henrik for a wide open net to make it 4-2 Vancouver...2:55 left in the 3rd...this is the most frustrating game i've ever played.
-of course Cole gets called for tripping with 40 seconds left...unbelievable!!!!!!
-4-3 VANCOUVER...the Oilers get their 2nd shorthanded goal of the night when Moreau roofs a spin-o-rama move past Luongo...31 seconds left

Vancouver wins the series 4-2. Winning 4 straight games to take the series. the reffing was stupid...oilers got called for 9 penalties and the Canucks 0. i am really mad and now i go into the off season. i had high hopes for the season...i really wanted to bring back the cup to Edmonton but its not gonna happen this year.
