10:05 p.m. The Associated Press ST. PAUL, Minn. The Minnesota Wild won't go away, or stop scoring. Andrew Brunette's two goals led another unlikely outburst by the Wild, who sidestepped elimination for the fifth time this postseason with a 5-1 victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Wednesday night "We're a resilient bunch," Brunette said.

The Western Conference semifinal series is tied at 3, with a deciding Game 7 set for today in Vancouver. The winner faces the Anaheim Mighty Ducks in the West finals. Both the Canucks and Wild rallied from 3-1 deficits in the first round. "I like the fact we've been through it once," Canucks Coach Marc Crawford said of Game 7. "We have to play a full 60 minutes.

Our guys are ready to do that. Better we made a mistake tonight and not tomorrow night." Dwayne Roloson made 30 saves for Minnesota, who also got goals from Darby Hendrickson, Antti Laaksonen and seldom-used Lubomir Sekeras.

The Wild, who've scored 12 goals the last two games, are an NHL-leading 14-55 (25.5) on the man advantage during the postseason.

These rivals have played a very physical series, but the Canucks didn't get away with any rough stuff on Wednesday. They took eight penalties. "They deserve it," Wild Coach Jacques Lemaire said. "We look at tapes, too. I know a lot of times we do complain, but when we complain we have something to back it up.

"It's a team that plays aggressively. Maybe they don't respect the power play that much. I don't know what they think." Crawford was pleased with the effort but not the result. "The penalties got us in trouble," he said. "We just have to be more determined to kill them off." Hendrickson, Laaksonen and Brunette scored in a third period that turned ugly toward the end.

Eight of the game's 15 penalties were called in the final frame. Ed Jovanovski scored his seventh goal of the playoffs for the Canucks, who have not lost three straight all season. Quebec starting this fall, and Roy has made no secret of his desire to follow his son's career closely. Ex-Avs defenseman Ray Bourque retired in 2001 for essentially the Patrick Roy same reason. Jacques Demers, a hockey analyst for RDS television in Montreal and Roy's former coach with the Montreal Canadiens, believes Roy will quit.

Demers said he was told by a "confidant" of Roy in December that the goaltender planned to retire after this season. Demers said Roy is determined to leave the game while his skills remain at a high level. Roy has won four Stanley Cups two with Montreal and two with Colorado and was solid this season, tying for fourth in the NHL with 35 victories. He was second in goals-against average (2.18) and third in save percentage Roy has one year left on his contract, at the team's option, worth $8.5 millioa The Avs want him to return. If he retires, he will get a $1 million bonus from the team.

Has the wmningest goaltender in NHL history played his final game or will he return for a 19th season? After the Colorado Avalanche's unexpected Game 7 loss to Minnesota in the first round of the playoffs last month, Roy said he was pretty sure what he would do but wanted "a little more time to make sure I make the right decision." He's been mum since. Avalanche officials insist they don't know what Roy will do, but there are signs he has decided to retire. In January, he put his home in a Denver suburb up for sale. Within the past year, he purchased a home in Palm Beach, Fla. Roy, who turns 38 in October, is in good physical condition, but his arthritic hips have deteriorated in recent years.

Roy's eldest son, Jonathan, a budding goalie, will play hockey in 1 1-3 1 1 0 (EDiaz).
