Here's the recap of last night's matchup between the Kariya brothers.
Hope all of you who are at Friday night's game against BU will cheer
LOUDLY. I have a six-pack of beer riding on the outcome with one of my
co-workers (who happens to be a former BU hockey player).

>
>ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) - The long-awaited meeting of the Kariya
>brothers ended in a tie.
>
>"It was different," Anaheim's Paul Kariya said after his
>second-period goal helped the Mighty Ducks to a 2-2 tie with the
>Vancouver Canucks and his kid brother, Steve.
>
>"This was the first time we've played against each other at any
>level."
>
>"It was certainly fun seeing him play. I haven't had many
>opportunities to see him for a few years," said the Canucks
>rookie, who helped Vancouver jump out to a 1-0 lead with an
>assist on a first-period goal.
>
>The two got closer than either one expected. Normally both left
>wingers, Steve Kariya frequently switched sides and played in his
>older brother's face.
>
>"I was certainly surprised to see him on my side," the Anaheim
>All-Star said. "I'm sure there will be some pictures out of that
>for the family."
>
>Paul Kariya tied the score at 1 with a power-play goal -- while
>Steve sat in the penalty box -- at 11:24 of the second period.
>
>"I didn't agree with the call. I didn't think I got my elbow up,"
>said Steve Kariya, who drew only his fifth penalty in 29 games.
>
>Midway through the third period, the older Kariya was called for
>interference, also his fifth penalty, in 28 games.
>
>That came 6 1/2 minutes after Steve Rucchin's power-play goal had
>tied the game at 2. The Canucks couldn't take advantage as they
>finished the game 0-for-3 on power-play opportunities. The Mighty
>Ducks have held off 19 straight power plays, helping sustain the
>tie.
>
>The deadlock didn't reverse either team's fortunes. Anaheim,
>behind the continued strong play of goalie Guy Hebert, who made
>his 11th consecutive start Wednesday, is 3-1-2 in its last six
>games. The Canucks remained with only one win in their last six
>contests (1-4-1).
>
>Bill Muckalt snapped a 1-1 tie by wristing a shot between Guy
>Hebert's legs at the 1:41 mark, before the Ducks' recharged power
>play drew them back into a tie.
>
>Rucchin's off-balanced shot from just left of the goal made it
>2-2 at 5:27, 21 seconds after Murray Baron drew a hooking call.
>It was Anaheim's second power-play conversion of the game.
>
>Paul Kariya's game-tying 50-footer past Garth Snow at the 11:24
>mark of the second period, less than a minute into Steve's
>penalty, snapped a streak of 25 consecutive failed power-play
>opportunities. It was only the Ducks' fifth goal in their last 53
>opportunities with the man advantage.
