The story of Game 6 between the Vancouver Canucks and the Chicago Blackhawks was Vancouver's decision to start Cory Schneider over Roberto Luongo. Schneider had stopped 17-of-20 shots before leaving early in the third period with an injury, replaced by Luongo. That wasn't lost on Canuck fans as they watched rookie Ben Smith score the game-winner with 4 1/2 minutes remaining in overtime to make what was once a 3-0 series into a seven-game one.

This series now returns for one final game in Vancouver on Tuesday, April 26. The Hawks will look to be the only the fourth team to overcome a three-game deficit. The Philadelphia Flyers did it most recently in 2010, defeating the Boston Bruins in the conference semifinals.
The Canucks will simply just not to make their fanbase collectively have a heart attack.
