That was insane, we were all balls of tension for the entire game. Seemed like we would never get a third goal by Oetinger.
On the PP in OT I said to my son, “they need to get it to Lindholm in the slot”. It didn’t happen on the PP, but a few shifts later Tkachuk won a battle, Johnny found Lindy, and Johnny potted the rebound. So fitting for that line to get the winner.
When it went in their were hugs, cheers, and high fives all around in my house. What a feeling!
Some other thoughts:
- Lucic line was great all night, in particular in OT
- Backlund was good again too, great game
- Markstrom the unsung hero of the series. Kept all the games close.
- The game turned around when I set up my Flames flag and hats beside the TV. You’re welcome!
- I drank an Old Fashioned with a RED Maraschino Cherry in it for OT. I guess that’s now my drink of the playoffs.
