I Watched This Game: Suter and Silovs the Canucks heroes in series-clinching Game 6

In 2006, rookie goaltender Cam Ward stepped into the net for the Carolina Hurricanes in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, replacing their regular starter, Martin Gerber. Ward was dynamite, turning their series around against the Montreal Canadiens, then backstopping the Hurricanes to their first (and only) Stanley Cup. With a sterling .920 save percentage — a major jump up from his .882 in the regular season — Ward won the Conn Smythe Trophy as the MVP of the playoffs.
