What really happened in Game 5?

On first blush, it looked like Carolina forward Cory Stillman was simply pressured by Edmonton forward Ethan Moreau, which led to Stillman's own-zone pass being intercepted by Fernando Pisani, who scored the first shorthanded overtime winner in the Cup finals.

But various replays seemed to show that Moreau actually got a stick on Stillman's forearm, which might have slowed the puck's momentum.

Can you imagine if the goal had been waved off and the Hurricanes were given a 5-on-3 power play?

:sick:

I, myself, have moved on to the next game... but, most likely this was/is discussed in our Game #5 thread.

It's history. Doesn't matter anymore.
Stillman didn't use it as an excuse for the play, and I've never tried making him.
But yeah, pretty sure this was discussed in the game thread. I'm going to close this.
