Guess I should add, what some say is a controversial call--made quite the splash on the main board. No goal was the call on the ice and that stood after review.

Not sure who is still checking this out, but lots of goals yesterday, 6-2 win, Game 3.

Internet here still a problem, so anyone who can add to this for the rest of the playoffs, please do! Maybe we will look back on this thread for highlights of the playoffs.

#1 Cirelli nice breakway to break the ice:


#2 Gourde's amazing very outside tip in (followed by a penalty by Gourde):


#3 Palat deflects Cernak's in:

 

[BoltsFanSinceDay1]

#4 Kuch to Killorn:


#5 Killorn's #2:


#6 Kuch, with a 4 point game:


Game controversies since refs let it get out of hand early on, then just terrible officiating. After the play at the end, Kuch and Sergachev injured.

Lost, so on to Game 6 in Tampa.
