Woo Hoo! That's 10 straight playoff wins now!

ARGGGHHHHH you JERKS you just jinxed IT!!!!

everyone knows you are not supposed to acknowledge the win streaks during playoff time!

The Moose lost tonight 5-4 in Overtime. Looks like they may have to come home to wrap up the series.

Game 5 is still in Houston. If they come home to win it they would be playing game six.

Game is going into second OT. The moose tied the game with 2 seconds left in the third!
