22 fucking seconds away...
Well, here it is. This is the season right here, boys. 3-1 up at home after 2 periods, you should always, ALWAYS win the goddamn game. Oddly, I thought it would have been The Worst Alexei Kovalev Penalty Ever that did it if anything was, but it was just Andrei Markov getting outmuscled by Knuble down low, and then an improbably great backhand from said Bruin.
So now, it goes to overtime. Win, and it's 2-2 heading out to Beantown. Lose, and it's 3-1, and the series is most likely over. This reminds me of the game in the Buffalo series in 1993, when Yuri Khymelev scored with seconds left to tie the score at 3-3, and then Montreal had to get a clutch OT goal to win it. Of course, we were up 3-0 in that series, and Dominik Hasek was still early in his career.
Why yes, I am clutching at straws.
