   Impact players
Game 7
Tampa Bay Lightning Brad Richards Why? A constant threat on the ice. Two assists to help Tampa to its first-ever Stanley Cup finals.
Philadelphia Flyers Robert Esche Why? Made 30 saves in a losing cause, including 17 in a feverish second period.

Hockey Night in Canada's Kelly Hrudey:
Kelly Hrudey
I think it's only fitting Tampa and Philly are in the conference finals. Both teams had excellent records in the regular season. This will be a long series for sure.
