One game on the night and it wasn’t a pretty one, at the start of the series, lets get to know some history, Nikolai Khabibulin has never won a game against the Canucks since the 98′ so its been 11 years. Canucks coming into the game w/ 9 days off. As puck drops very calm couple of penalties untill the Hawk started taking double minors but Canucks couldn’t capitalize but they did score on a powerplay. 3-0 lead into the 3rd, in cruize control, Kane came out of the Box and scores to make it 3-1, Hawks on the powerplay also scored by Kane to make it 3-2, and Bolland scores to make it 3-3, everything looks great for the Hawks. But they give up a 4-1 and Salo scores and Johnson nets the empty netter to make it 5-3.
Other Note: IIHF Canada wins 5-1 over Czechs
