George Commo's Blog - Friday 5-17-13
For a period, maybe a period and a half it seemed like ... well it seemed like a regular season game. After the intense first round playoff series they had just finished the game between the Bruins and the Rangers just didn't have that feel. But as it went along the first playoff meeting between the two teams in better than forty years started to ramp up, and by the time they reached overtime it was another Stanley Cup playoff classic in the making. And when Patrice Bergeron set up Brad Marchand for the game winner, it was more evidence of why Stanley Cup overtime is the most exciting in sports.
Talk about exciting ... and exhilarating, and excruciating ... try the ending of the Kings/Sharks Western Conference semi-final game last night in LA ... Sharks led 3-2 late ... but two Sharks penalties led to two Kings powerplay goals just 22 seconds apart and LA grabbed a two games to none series lead with a wild 4-3 win. The Stanley Cup Playoffs ... you cannot beat them!
