Game 7 information

[edit]

"Gelinas wristed the puck into the post, coming within an inch or two of tying the game"

I think this references a shot by Nathan Lafayette, not Martin Gelinas.

No, Gelinas as well as Lafayette hit a post late in game 7. Gelinas - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyi9DH_okwI Lafayette - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhPVw5y7_uU —Preceding unsigned comment added by Abarry12 (talkcontribs) 22:33, 23 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
