Carolina would tie the game late in the 2nd. Now almost 7 minutes into the 3rd, after some great chances, Brian Rafalski keeps the puck in and rips a shot at the net that beats Arturs Irbe, appearing to give the Devils the 2-1 lead! But, the goal is waived off almost immediately(in fact you can hear the whistle blow before Doc can even say "Scores"). The ref ruled that Patrik Elias had interfered with Irbe. Unfortunately the Canes would take advantage of this break and would win in overtime on a goal by Bates Battaglia

Hey, don't worry about it. Rafa's future team whooped the Canes' asses in the Finals to make up for this.
