A buddy I play with is over there watching the game. Brother to one of the Canadian players and he said that the crowd was strangely confident even being down 2 with 4 or 5 minutes to go. Said the team stayed calm and remained very confident that if they got it within 1 they liked their chances with the 6 on 5.
He thought the OT penalties were weak even the Wickenheiser one. My first reaction was penalty but with the benefit of the replay I don't think it was. But, as I said initially thought it was a penalty and that is what the refs saw.
Crowd went nuts when it was tied up. Crazy game, lots of fun to watch.
