They ended up being on the ice for the whole first 3.5 minutes of OT because Todd McLellan is smart enough to know that getting Kopitar off the ice meant Lindholm would be on the ice. That's not good for LA.
The penalty and time-out used by LA meant we never had our attackers out until the last 90 seconds of OT.

Fair point, but it's 3-3 hockey for 5mins. You had 60mins to play match-ups. You have 5mins to score a f-ing goal to win the game. Put your best players out. Just my opinion.
