I am so pissed about the Flyers winning that game that I can't even express myself in a 5-7-5 format. After coming back to tie it from being down two goals, and having that flurry of chances in OT .... argh. I was really expecting a Leafs/Habs conference final -- it would have been a flashback to the slot hockey games of my youth (when older brother Not Nick forced me to become a Leafs fan).
As for the hit, I thought it was clean. Mostly. On replays, I could see where it could have been called as boarding. But as much as I hate the Flyers (and their pumpkin orange uniforms and Bobby Clarke and ....), I felt sorry for Sammi, and was extremely impressed that he made it out of the zone and to the bench without triggering a whistle. As Big Ed said, he's a HOCKEY PLAYER.

Clean hit. Kapannen was just unprepared for it. I like Tucker and Domi. They remind me players on the Flyers teams of my youth.
A great overtime. I love to watch my team celebrate in another team's house while the mute crowd simply stares.
Esche has been very good. Perhaps even the difference in both the NJ and Toronto series. I love a goalie who's so willing to drop the gloves. When will all the fawning begin on this board the way everyone gushed over Giguere last year?
