The Stars dig themselves a huge hole on the road, giving up the first goal in the opening two minutes (again) and another two before the halfway point. Nazem Kadri gets them on the board with 12 seconds left in the second and the Stars keep things interesting by coming within one goal with 2 minutes left thanks to Mikhail Grigorenko's goal (and playoff-leading 22nd point), but it just wasn't to be as Thomas Vanek slides one into the empty net just a minute later. Thus, the Hawks advance to their first-ever EHEC Cup Finals (kind of surprising considering they've never missed the playoffs in 12 years), and the Stars fail to repeat in an otherwise solid season. Congrats/commiserations to Bern/Martin.
