Enjoyed that one - except for the PP. They are just thinking WAY too much and whomever is back at the blue line is too nervous often to make a good play - mostly just tries for a fast play. Gio takes too long to set up a shot as he tries to pick a spot - he'd be better off just banging the puck towards the net often and let the faster puck retrieval guys try to do so and shoot.
Reffing (again) in OT was abominable, and the 3rd had questionable calls on both sides. At least they were kinda, sorta even-ish.
Loved Hamilton's reaction after the goal. Just stood there with a stoic look on his face, arms in the air - not much emotion at all. Then suddenly that great grin and smile. Loved it!!
