This from ESPN.com:
“Stuart got his first goal on a slap shot with 20 seconds left — and with time running out, the defenseman charged the net and slammed home a centering pass from Damphousse with 2.3 seconds to play, sending the sellout crowd at the Shark Tank into bedlam.”
I’d like to make one correction — there were 19 seconds left, not 20, although the observation about bedlam is completely accurate. One of the best games I’ve ever been to, and I just narrowly missed falling into the row in front of me on the game tying goal. Those folks sitting in front of us who left early must have been very sad indeed when they got home and heard the news. The OT win was that much sweeter.
This was a better ending to the day than the start this morning, when I got hit in the face during practice by someone’s backhand, cracking my face shield. I’ve been hearing ringing in my ears all day. I guess it’s back to the old black cage for me.
