Last night in Boston, the Hurricanes battled hard and won the game 3-2 in Overtime with a goal by Walker (who said it did not take skill for me to score)."I just went to the net and whacked one in," Walker said after his 25th career NHL playoff game. "Didn't take much skill." Once Walker put the puck in the net, Bruins goalie Tim Thomas skated directly to the bench right away."I saw the guy coming down the lane, laying up for the shot," said Thomas, a finalist for the Vezina Trophy. "I saw the shot. I made the save and left the rebound up in the air."
"Walker's goal "sucks the life out of you," said Milan Lucic, who tied the game 2-2 at 6:19 of the third period. "We worked hard to get back in the series and don't get rewarded."Byron Bitz and Milan Lucic scored Bostons only goals last night.Rod Brind'Amour and Sergei Samsonov also scored for the Hurricanes.Carolina's coach Paul Maurice talked about meeting the Penguins in the next round."Just because we won these series doesn't mean we are going to change our approach against Pittsburgh," Carolina coach Paul Maurice said. "If we try to trade goals with them, it will be a short series." The Carolina V.S the Penguins series will start on Monday at 7:30pm E.T on TSN,RDS,FSN-CAROLINA,FSN-Pittsburgh and Versus.
