You only got a minute and a half of OT, right? Wait till you have one that goes halfway through the second OT.
Partial SPOILER Alert!!
How so? I knew it would wind up with the murder of his family, I just wasn't sure which kid would do it.
I know right? I was already getting nervous.
I don't know if you watch the game, but I don't know much about hockey so I'll ask. Did Detroit play really conservative in the 3rd period? They were so aggressive to start and then the Ducks just started using their speed and flying and Detroit never looked to counter.
I didn't see all of it, but what I saw did look like Detroit were sitting on the lead too much. It's a really fine line. The best way to play defense with a lead in the third is to dump the puck in and cycle your lines as much as possible to keep fresh legs on the ice, but the danger is that you end up playing in your end the whole time. Howard let in a couple of softies, which didn't help.
Home ice is much less of an advantage in the hockey playoffs than it is in other sports, by the way. So get ready for some drama.
