Well we had them almost to the chopping block to end the season on a high note but we sorta let our foot off their necks and they got away. The Ducks win in shootout 3 - 2 final. But man what a game by Turris and Carcillo! The two young guns put on a serious show.

DC and his new cohorts in offense KT and Mules, lit the Ducks up for first blood and then DC combined w/ Vrbie and DMo for another tally in the third period. Mostly it was the Yotes all the way but we got a lil happy feet and let them back in the game midway through the third when Kunitz and Ryan exploded within 2 minutes of each other.

Poor DMo scored just seconds off the buzzer going off, it didn’t count! So we ended up goin all the way to a shootout. Which was good and bad. There was nothing on the line so giving up the 2 goal lead (and the shutout bid) didn’t hurt so much and the opportunity to see the ‘other’ Kid in the shootout was priceless.

Bryz! had already handled way more Duck shots than he’s used to us allowing (40 sogs before the SO) and he wasnt as patient as he probably should been allowing both Kunitz and Selanne to score. Mules shot wide and we needed to score to stay in it. No pressure right? *cue choirs of Hosannas* Kyle Turris in his first NHL shoot out…can anyone say pressure?
