Game 7

The dream dies a bit short of the ultimate goal.

The offense did not make its return in Game 7. It was almost as if Carolina and Edmonton switched bodies similar to "Invasion of the Body Snatchers."

The power play was filled with passes that weren't going anywhere. You can't score if you don't shoot the puck. Blowing a 5-on-3 advantage in the second period was likely the last straw.

Still, it was an amazing run for a team that barely made the playoffs, downed the top-seeded Red Wings, lost its star goalie in the finals, and made it to a Game 7. It would have been nice to bring the Stanley Cup back to Canada. Unfortunately, it continues to live in the American South, where I'm sure it won't be appreciated nearly as much as it would have been in Northern Alberta.
