The Tampa Bay Lightning defeated the Detroit Red Wings by a score of 2 to 0 to win Game 7. This was arguably the best game of the best first round series in the NHL playoffs.
For the first two periods, both teams battled for every loose puck, challenged shots and fought tooth and nail finishing checks and neither team found the back of the net. All the conventional wisdom said that the referees would swallow their whistles yet six penalties were called. Not sure if the power plays were bad or the penalty killing teams for both the Red Wings and Lightning were that good, but no power play goals were scored.
