Athens 4, Paris 3
It was one of the closest series in memory and Athens advanced to the conference finals in a real nail-biting tense Game 7 when Brandon Sutter scored one of the biggest goals in franchise history with 1:30 remaining in the first OT period. He also scored the only goal in the 3rd period to tie the game 2-2. The home team won every game of the series and Game 5 also went to OT with Colin Wilson providing the winning goal for the Gods.
