Actually, it was Dallas that beat Buffalo that year. Hull was a Star at the time. That was a goal that clearly should have been reviewed at least, given that the majority of the time through the season and the playoffs, goals were reviewed when someone was even close to the crease. IIRC, series was 3-2 at that point, and if Buffalo had won, they would have forced a game 7. They had Hasek in goal then, anything was possible. Don't get me wrong, I'm no Sabres fan, they beat out my Leafs that year :angry: ...but that call was just wrong.
As for Canadian hockey fans not throwing fits... *remembers Vancouver in '94 after game 7* ...and that was a legitimate clincher scored by Leetch(?)
I'm disappointed that the Flames lost, but Tampa showed they were the better team in game 7. If only the Flames had played the entire game like they played the last 12 minutes. But the Lightning deserved to win, congrats to them.
