>> eddie: here is a chance for danny briere. it goes between the legs of chris butler looking for ville leino. off the skate of gragnani. a couple of great chances. how about sandwiched in between there the chance for thomas vanek? >> darren: i think daniel briere was looking at the replay, but then i had grapes and he wanted to know if i had extra. >> doc: didn't know they gave you food there. niedermayer. 2:30 to go regulation time. here is ennis.

able to shake one. shoots one. blocked to the corner by carle. left to the back and played back on by stafford. nice move to motor back as far as the line by briere. they canceled him out there. it was one against three. sometimes we expect briere to beat those odds. here is tim fen. 2:00 left. carefully played in by zherdev. butler. then ahead to kaleta. gaustad could not hold the trigger on the shot. laid it behind. kaleta up the boards to myers. myers trying to step back. could not. drags back on by claude giroux. giroux crosses to the outside. it's knocked wide. gave it up to giroux who gave it back to kaleta again. 90 seconds to go. kaleta the drive.

kaleta put back into play. covered by bucher. tonight it's win or over for the defending champions. can the blackhawks stay alive and force a deciding game seven? brent seabook will be part of the chicago defense. it's starting to get nerve racking for the canucks. >> eddie: pressure at the skates of the vancouver canucks. were up 3-0, now 3-2, back to chicago. >> doc: this is ellis. carcillo. carcillo gains the zone. tried to filter it through. plenty convergence for the buffalo defense. ripped back across. canucks back ahead to leopold.

final minute of regulation time. ellis working the corner. went back to get it. gave it to ellis. starts around behind. closed off by meszaros. up the boards now for blair betts. they are making sure with these guys out here right now. nicely called. flyers bench telling betts to get it in deep. >> darren: it was just on the other side of the center ice line. >> eddie: he had a chance to pass the buck to dan carcillo. tried to bank it softly in behind the d. both teams used their time-out. no opportunity to get a little bit of a breather. you have the fourth line out here for the flyers. >> doc: niedermayer on the draw with blair betts. butler. difficult pass that fortunately for the sabres became a live to

bat will for flyers. looked like flyers might be able to break down as they lay it off carcillo and back out to betts. 20 to go. niedermayer. through it came. dragged on back. twisting with it is braydon coburn. spun one further for giroux. that intercepted. butler with eight to go. then myers. as in game number five, it will require extra time. 45 shots by philadelphia, 32 by buffalo. coming up in the pizza hut overtime intermission report, mike milbury, liam mchugh break down our highlights.

>> darren: 6 0 minutes of ice time insufficient. liam mchugh alongside mike milbury. you taught me many things. i can't repeat most of them. i can repeat this one. composure in the playoffs is key. >> we have a great example of what should be taking place and did for most of the third period. rob niedermayer, veteran player

goes around the rink. knows that you don't give it away. there is a lot of traffic here. he holds his composure and keeps skating the puck. if you're going to give it up, make them take it away from you. it's chris butler. you can't do this at any level of hockey and get away with it. the power play resulting for the philadelphia flyers plays off. it has not been a great power play for most of the series. miller gives up the rebound. bang, it's in the back of the net. we've got ourselves a brand-new hockey game. >> late in the third period it deinvolved into pond hockey. >> i love it. coaches want control. they want to have pieces of the chessboard in place. this doesn't happen when you're under pressure. players want to score goals, want to win the game. thomas vanek off to the races. he blows his chance with a shot that goes wide. flyers, this is all in the space of a couple of minutes. they are tripping over each other. turnovers like this could be costly. this doesn't result in a goal

but results in a near-miss from philadelphia. guys will be told batton down the hatches, pick your time, pick your spots to spread it out. >> so it is win or go home for philadelphia. it is do or die for the chicago blackhawks. coming up, our versus group will preview game six. >> tell me something. take a look at that. deserves a beer, huh? pass them down, whoa! you're not drinking a miller lite aluminum pint? i just broug this. it's got more taste. it's a pint. it's bigger. i do not care. shoulda figured, since you've been wheeling around that little knapsack. [ laughter ] [ male announcer ] man up with a miller lite aluminum pint. can you guys wait? [ male announcer ] it's got a wide mouth, a resealable cap, and four more ounces of that great pilsner taste. got a miller lite. cheers! my knapsack! [ laughter ]

love those jeans. $175. ch-ching! excuse me? ever consider showing your customers what other stores charge for jeans? um...no. when it comes to car insurance, progressive direct does. i saved hundreds when switching. that's a lot. the jeans are skinny. the savings... are fat. out there with a better way. now, that's progressive.

chicago, illinois, the site of tonight's game six between the blackhawks and canucks. hoping to end the series tonight. welcome to hockey central. bill patrick alongside keith jones and jeremy roenick. the big news for chicago, defenseman brent seabrooke is healthy and back in the lineup. is that good news considering the way chicago's been playing lately, is that good news for them? >> i think it's great news. whenever you put a guy like brent seabrooke, 6'2", 232 pound guy, you're going to get physicality. he came in and shut down the sedins. they need him strong here. in game three, the big hit. that big hit knocked brent seabrook out of the game.

throwing the sedins around at 6'2, he is a big body and plays bigger. he's had a great season. these two have a great, great pair and great mix going. this is a great thing for chicago blackhawks as they get this big old burley man back into the game. >> no question that hit against seabrook motivated the chicago blackhawks. they got them back in the series. they got david bolin back in the mix. this series turned david bolin one of the best two-way center iceman, he's been physical, smart. he's had an edge to his game. duncan keith also productive. blackhawks have got themselves back in the series with nastiness of their own. started by david bolin. he's chipped in offensively as well with an assistant right there on michael frolik.

duncan keith has been outstanding. he's been mean. he's been dirty. he's bin riled up. the chicago hawks appreciated his efforts. four goals in the last three games. number two stepped up and provided the offensive spark. he's been everything to the hawks on the blue line. >> there is no doubt why they won the stanley cup last year. now that fire that got them the stanley cup. these guys are finding that stanley cup feeling again. they are battling hard. >> the sedins have not been the same. is it because of the presence of dave bolland? >> they bring talent. when talent goes against bolland that gets in your grill, your kitchen? it creates a lot of frustration. here in the first two, three games these two are unbelievable. nine points, plus seven between the two. games four and five they

disappear, only one point between the two of them. this is worse, minus nine. if the canucks expect to win the game, sedins have to show up. this whole team revolves around those two. if they shut them down tonight, the blackhawks win again. >> the another key factor for vancouver was ryan kessler. 41 goals. he provided a lot of secondary scoring. if you can call 41 goals secondary, he's been nonexistent. he is a physical guy that should be more of a factor on the road games. he'll get the goals if he plays harder. >> spotlight is clearly on vancouver goalie roberto luongo. through the years in the playoffs, he's got terrific numbers when he does not play chicago. he goes up against the blackhawks, it's a much different story. those numbers are ugly. on nbc, they are of the opinion luongo might play badly that the defense corps in front of him

might be to blame. >> not necessarily. luongo has been shooting high. chicago getting traffic in front. they have exposed the glove hand of roberto luongo. luongo had a tremendous regular season. the kryptonyte for roberto luongo has been the chicago blackhawks. 19 career playoff losses. ten against the chicago blackhawks. fans hope it's 11 after night. >> blackhawks are going to continue to shoot high. especially on roberto luongo's glove handle. watch tonight how hawks get into the crease. get into his grill. roberto luongo does not like traffic and does not like to get bumped around. he likes to get comfortable in there. look for the blackhawks to rattle his cage. >> this is going to be fun. coverage of game six between vancouver and chicago on versus begins at 7:00 eastern time. they are filing into the united center for game six tonight.

(crowd noise) caveman:i didn't hear you craig, the what shot othe day!? craig? i don't think that i heard you correctly, because it sounded like you said... cut to commercial. >> doc: here in buffalo, the

overtime score, we begin with is 4-4. we will end at some point. who knows when at 5-4. somebody, either a seventh game in philadelphia or if the sabres win, it's all over here. what did we watch before going into overtime? >> eddie: with the game the way it's been, trading chances, flyers had majority of the better play. long changes in overtime. defensive zone is the farthest away from your bench. you have to make sure you change before your turn, make sure your team has possession before you make a change. the puck's got to get in deep. you don't want to give up odd-man situations early. especially with the long change during overtime. >> darren: one player to look for the philadelphia flyers, niedermayer. >> doc: in dueling stats, paul gaustad has won 15-22 faceoffs.

that is an impressive performance. stafford takes the first one and wins it here in the overtime. gragnani with this. steps ahead. lobs it wide. timonen pushed it ahead on second effort. came as far as leopold. he and gragnani are the defense. stafford working up front with ennis as well as niedermayer. ennis couldn't get it. careened for gragnani. stafford holding to the outside. accelerates. played further by mike richards. led off the stick. timonen flopped it ahead. it will go down for an icing touch. offensive zone faceoff and flyers can't change. these are the historic overtime goal scorers.

ennis was just in game five. pominville in the past and montador. briere a couple of times, carcillo and giroux. >> eddie: some coaches, never a bad play to get the puck to the net in the offensive zone. defensive zone stopping and starting, get yourself to the middle of the ice. >> doc: reversed it along for the play to be made by timonen. he had to stay out there. he wanted to come off. because of the icing, he could not. back to him. eighth time brian boucher has been in a playoff overtime game. he won four of the prior seven. ryan miller in his 13th has won 7-12. too far for giroux. yet another icing. most dramatic overtime game

brian boucher ever played in was that epic five overtime victory against the pittsburgh penguins in pittsburgh. >> darren: five overtimes. tim primeau with his phenomenal pass. proves he's got the stamina to go a long way. there was a lot of hasty nutrition for those teams. >> doc: the five overtime team would be detroit because of the little caesar's chain produced pizzas which is one of the most popular overtime foods. ellis. shot in front. blocked free into the slot area and begin back down and center to zherdev. a bouncer hopped out of the glove of miller. zherdev began around. flyers are finally in the midst of that change they wanted. mike richards. could not hold along the boards. that's hartnell. lifted on back further for a

play to be made. this is leino bringing it on. ville leino in front. backhand try by briere was stifled by defense and covered by miller. >> eddie: he made a couple of nice plays. this one a regroup through the middle of the ice. enters the zone. is able to have the patience and vision to look and see, what are my options. see that quick look? he is able to get into an area for danny briere to get aboard miller. miller does the right thing of not taking any chances. able to absorb it, take a faceoff. >> doc: grier and gaustad for this draw. the linesman gets them set properly. gaustad came by to float that one out himself.

so far myers. across to chris butler. american-born defenseman. to gaustad. another try and that bounced off the backside. quick release from gaustad. one quick motion, he let that rip. >> doc: briere with a shot th that's stripped wide. gerbe. left behind and gerbe is able to outlet it again. playing to the outside and dropped. a second time. save made by boucher. >> eddie: patrick kaleta with the quick hand in front of his bench. the flyers defense. going hard to the net. walked right in front of ryan boucher. goes then stops. look a the flier defense. almost a parting of the red sea

there. nice stop by boucher. no rebound given up. >> darren: lack of communication by the two defensemen. >> doc: nice try back again. a strong play by montador. nudged back to him by drew stafford. back over and weber applies it to the corner. carle takes over there. it is a very busy flyers defense. at least in the case of three in particular. chris pronger has only played on the power play, 4:33 in a game. here is carcillo. montador. ennis might have been free. boucher lobbed it on up the boards. pitch back along settled down by blair betts. shove by niedermayer. played back to mccormick.

>> darren: long as this goes, you've got to favor philadelphia. buffalo sabres have a lot of guys that haven't been given as much time. >> doc: the flier defense played so much can deal with it. >> darren: they seem to be. finding some time. >> doc: leino sends it across. run back on and shot off the glove of miller. poked around. let that shot go. hands it back to the point. timonen gave it back on to ville leino. chased out near the blue line. blocked free. ellis scoops it ahead. vanek escaping up the wings. sends it up there. block by timonen. shoots one. another try. score! leino. there will be a seventh game.

ville leino has won it in overtime at 4:43 for the philadelphia flyers. game seven tuesday night back in philadelphia. >> eddie: we talked about the long changes. flyers have an odd-man situation. there is one, now the second one. look at ville leino. where does he go? he goes to the front of the net. we talked about paul gaustad going hard to the net earlier in overtime and stopping? ville leino goes there. he stops in front. versteeg. leino fans on it a second. he gets another opportunity. watch leino right there.

he fans out the first time and he comes back. he's able to beat butler to the back of the net. the philadelphia flyers live to fight another day, as you mentioned, game seven tuesday night back in philadelphia. the reaction from the flier bench. what a game. >> darren: ville leino, you and the philadelphia flyers extend this series. is that the biggest goal in your nhl career? >> it is so far. it was nice to have that. we are going to have a big game in two days. >> darren: what was the feeling when you were down in this game, you had to make a goalie change and came back? >> it's tough if you're trailing. we've done it before. we were close last game. this game we got the reward. >> darren: your line continues to click great chemistry. >> we played good today. this was our best game.

>> darren: thank you very much, ville. >> doc: one of many heroes for the flyers today. held together with wire. they've been able to make this go seven. tonight on nbc, it's an all-new "dateline" followed by "america's next great restaurant." the stanley cup playoffs continue tonight on versus with game six between the vancouver canucks and chicago blackhawks. next weekend on nbc, it's conference semi final action beginning at 3:00 eastern on saturday and sunday. for eddie olczyk and darren pang, doc emrick saying so long from buffalo, new york. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com
