To recap. Hockey was played, people were excited, and the Blackhawks found themselves up 3-2 with 3 minutes remaining…2 minutes remaining…one minute. The usual mad scramble “let's hold our collective breath” shit, and with just under 10 seconds left in the game, Mike Richards saved the Kings season with an incredibly skilled redirection off a shot from Anze Kopitar. A MOMENTUM SHIFT occured, we were headed to overtime, and bearded people celebrated indicated this might be a series gamechanger.
Not the case. Deadlocked throughout, some chance, but no goals in the first OT. Wasn't until the a little over 12 minutes into the second overtime when the Toews/Kane train sealed the deal with the beautiful 2 on 1 execution shown below.
Kane finished the game with a hat trick. The Blackhawks are pretty damn good, and the Bruins are on top of their game. Should be an interesting cup. Hockey.
