Kellan Tochkin's 4th of the playoffs capped a four goal comeback as the Medicine Hat Tigers - down 4-1 as late 2:21 into the third period - came all the way back to tie it and then win the game and the series in overtime. The Tigers beat the Rebels 4-1 in the best of seven series.
There's no official word on the schedule for the Eastern Conference finals as of yet but if traditional dates and arena availability hold, the series will likely begin next Friday in Medicine Hat. Game two would be Saturday while the series would shift back to Cranbrook Tuesday and Wednesday for games three and four.
There'll be lots to talk about between the two clubs as two very hot teams will meet up to see who gets to go to the Ed Chynoweth Cup finals.
UPDATE -- Not two minutes later the dates were announced; the only tweak in the format I see is game six, which is now Sunday night at 6PM at the Plex if necessary. It makes for a tough turnaround with a 5.5 hr bus ride from the Hat after game five Saturday night.
UPDATE X 2 -- I stand corrected or, at least, confused. I looked at the day - which is the Saturday on the release - not the date, which is Friday, April 29 for Game Five. Game Six is Sunday, May 1.

That would be Friday April 29th and not Saturday which is the 30th. Will be a day off between games.
