Seattle, WA (AP) - This was a titanic battle featuring two of the league's best
goaltenders.  Combined, the two netminders faced 23 scoring opportunities and
Nabokov allowed the only one to get past him.

"It's a shame that somebody had to lose this game," said Michal Peca.  "I'm just
sad that it was us.  When both goalies of their caliber bring their A-game, one
goal is all you should need.  We should have been the ones to score."

A few minutes into the third period, the Wheat Kings allowed an odd-man rush to get
behind them.  Banking the puck off the boards, Brian Leetch got the puck up to
Daymond Langkow.  Streaking in against Scott Niedermayer, Langkow and Hossa skated
in wide against Nabokov trying to get the veteran defenseman to commit.  With time
and ice running out, Langkow passed up on the shot, electing to pass it to Hossa. 
His body low and stick outstretched, Niedermayer couldn't deflect the pass. 
Sticking to the ice, Hossa had the perfect shot when he scored [BKWY6:SP3:G13].

"A win is a win in my book," said coach Cherry.  "And I've said it a million times,
without a good goaltender you're dead.  I count my blessings that we've got one of
the best young guys in net for us."
