Great Game.
Wall was Wall all in one game.
Just TERRIBLE until the 3rd shot in the in shootout. The shooter whiffed and the next 2 wall stopped like a BRICK WALL.
EXCITING to score a tying goal with 23 ticks left and an empty net on a power play...

overall good game, thought wall gave up a couple of soft goals and i've said it before I HATE SHOOT OUTS! i'm glad we won but it's just nerve wrecking to see shoot outs.
i nearly jumped out onto the ice when they tied the game up with 20 some seconds on the clock.
and the seats they gave us sucked, so i take back that there is no bad seat in the house.

i was able to watch the second and third periods (i'm a moron - we have TWO FSN Ohio channels on the box and i was on 180 instead of 31). that tying goal looked SO GOOD, and to have beaten Hershey is HUGE!

I don't think they're enough to snag the calder cup (unless the avs send back all 5 of our guys), but they're looking really hot right now. they knocked off grand rapids last week (tied series) and then edged a team that almost never goes into OT.

this is some good hockey.
