There is a tradition in this thread to post commentaries of some great plays, and some great games. This is one of those posts.

To give the backdrop to this particular play, we were playing 6 men (I was in goal). The score was 2-2 going into OT. The game had been a little sloppy. I had let in a goal that had bounced off the backboards and was tipped in between post and pad when we were up 2-1. StMerc kept passing into the goalie's pads on offense, and Koop was having a less stellar game than usual at the blue line.

Then this happened:

The broadcast view doesn't quite do it as much justice as a closer view could have done, but it was (in Joborule's words) a 'sick sequence'. The desperation save, followed by the OT winner on the ensuing rush couldn't have been scripted better. It was sweet redemption for what was for the most part an 'ordinary' game.

Being a part of a play like this one, is what makes this game so much fun.
