I assume the Hawks will get the customary last power play and chance to tie late.

Of course they are, the Flames are from Canada.

Best series of the playoffs by far.

I am aware of that, but usually TSN has the hardon for the eastern canada teams not the western ones.

Well, they didn't give the Hawks a power play, but they completely ignored a blatant trip on Iginla there in order to preserve the empty net advantage. No matter, he had another go at it, 6-4 and a tie series.

They can't be picky when the only Eastern Canada team got bounced.

That wasn't a hand pass. Langkow batted the puck down, but Nystrom's (or whoever it was next to him) stick never touched the puck. There was about an inch of space between his stick and the puck, and Langkow ended up picking up the puck, and essentially getting his own hand pass.

What's funny to me is right after Mark Spector of Sportsnet hands it to Jokinen, he has a huge game and helps Calgary score up and down on the Hawks. I've always enjoyed irony. Maybe he should've waited til the end of the postseason to suggest Jokinen sucks and the Flames don't know what to do with him. Looks to me like he's still playing on the big line and producing.
