Game 1: The goaltending duel begins in full force with Plante stoning Kovalchuk on a breakaway. Moments latter, tic-tac-NO! As Krutov can't finish against Sawchuk. Messier comes in off the wing, wrist shot, STOPPED BY SAWCHUK! Sittler and MacDonald cycling down low, MacDonald to Sittler, robbed by Plante. Nothing is getting by either goalie. By the end of the third period, shots are 35/29 in favour of Calgary. The score is 0/0. In the first overtime period, no one scores. In the second overtime, Fluery takes a bad penalty, on the ensuing powerplay, Kennedy passes back to Pilote who wires the screened point shot past Plante.

Game 2: Fluery, eager to make up for his bad penalty the previous night, is just barraging Sawchuk with shots. 5 shots in the first period alone. But nothing gets by Sawchuk. Pitre gets a breakway, but can't complete. Lindros is really working hard to screen Sawchuk, but nothing throws his game off. Finally, midway through the second, Fluery is able to bang the puck in during a scrum in front... But Tkachuk is called for goalie interference on the play, no goal, Oiler power play. Plante keeps the power play in check, with Chara insuring he has a clear view of all shots. Once the powerplay is done, Fluery is back on the ice, breakaway, stoned! Fluery gets his own rebound and makes amends. Edmonton can't beat Plante tonight.
