Pittsburgh. The historic Game 7 carnival will take place in North America this weekend.
Late last night, Dallas also managed to equalize his series against Calgary – becoming the fifth team in 24 hours to force the crucial quarterback outright.
“This is the kind of game you dream of playing,” says veteran Joe Pavlesky after winning 4-2 at home in Texas.
Boston, Tampa and Edmonton already knew last night that there would be a seventh all-or-nothing drama in their game series — and last night the New York Rangers and Dallas followed suit.
This means that the first round of the Stanley Cup culminates in a real Game 7 orgy over the next two nights.
Thus five of the eight duels reach the final decision and that has not happened since 1992.
There’s nothing better, it’s the 7 game you’ve been dreaming of playing, says veteran Joe Pavlesky.
Hans Dallas lost the 2-0 lead in their must-win game against Calgary at home at the bustling American Airlines Arena last night, but he didn’t give up.
New target by Backlund
Finnish full-back Miro Heiskanen scored what would prove to be the decisive 3-2 goal at the end of the second half – and after a while, Tyler Seguin scored 4-2 into the empty net.
So he’s back in Calgary and Old Saddledome to see the thrilling Monsters movie on Monday night.
We have a lot of talent, a lot of character and one of the best goalkeepers in the league, Jacob Markstrom. In addition, we play at home. So we’re excited, says the Swedish Flame Star Elias Lindholm.
Mikael Backlund scored again last night and Rasmus Anderson responded to help.
