Adam Burish is one lucky dude.....

During Sunday's game one of the Western Conference Finals between the Chicago Blackhawks and the Detroit Red Wings, Chicago right-winger Adam Burish scored a goal in the first period and the nearly got decipated in the second period.

Teammate Ben Eager got trangled up in a check attempt where his skate nearly cut Burish 's neck clear off. (Marie Antoinette would have told him he would have gotten style points for it at least.)

Thankfully, Burish only left with a minor cut. The bad news, Detroit won game one of the series by the score of 5-2.

Zetterberg to Frazen,Cleary deflects the puck to score his second goal 4-2.
Cleary almost scored a hat trick after he had a break away chance, which I think he had Khabibulin beat but missed the back of the net. Then later Cleary almost accepted a pass from Datsyuk for an open netter! Too bad...
Zetterberg instead gets the open net with a pass by Frazen who was quick to get back onto his skates to get an assist.
