commentary...

it was a very good game last night,in Anaheim,between the Blackhawks,and the Ducks... the regulation scoring happened in the first two periods... in fact,Chicago scored twice,in first seven minutes of game,for a 2-0 lead,and three of the four goals scored in regulation,were scored in the ten minutes of the first period,and the Ducks tied the game at two,with 2:30 left,in the second period... there were 118 shots,in game(Anaheim had 62,and Chicago had 56),and tell you how good the goaltenders were last night:they stopped 73 straight shots,before the game winning goal(GWG),by the Blackhawks,with 3:48 left,in the third overtime... Andrew Shaw,and Marian Hossa scored power play goals,for Chicago,in the first seven minutes,of the first period,and then Andrew Cogliano,and Corey Perry scored for Anaheim,before the end of the second period,and then probably the best goaltending display that i have seen in months,or even years,until Marcus Kruger tapped in a pass/deflection,past Ducks' goaltender Frederik Andersen,to end the game... there was a disallowed goal of note:Andrew Shaw used his head,in a soccer header,to score a goal,in the second overtime,but was in violation of Rule 78.5 subsection i,that disallowed the goal "that was batted into the goal with anything,but a stick(i.e. foot,hand,skate,or in this case,a head)",paraphrasing the NHL rule book... it was an unique goal,indeed... simply,it was the best game of this year's Stanley Cup playoffs,period...
