Calgary is going to have to win the cup twice;consenus so far this am seems to indicate Gelinas scored the winning goal in the third period.

Maybe it is true that NHL officials are conspiring against the Flames...

Was this shown extensively on the CBC coverage? I was only able to see the game on ABC, and they seemed to claim that they were the only ones to see the 'goal'. I am presuming that they brought their own video replay recorders and switching trucks (or did ABC and the CBC share the HDTV cameras and other HDTV equipment?) . |
Congratulation to Tampa Bay and a big thank you to the Flames who gave Canadian fans something exicting and interesting to cheer for this year.

Really hoping the Flames would pull it out. Great playoff run in any event. Congrats to both teams.

Full coverage and the winning goal was broadcast on channel 5 here in the UK last night. Kept me up till 4am......stupid time zones.... :p

Very happy to see Andreychuk got a cup after 22 years!! He was a great guy.
