from E.J. Hradek of ESPN,
Both teams dug in and battled deep into a second overtime. The game featured all the best things about the sport. It had the skill, speed and determination that make hockey, especially playoff hockey, very special.
And, guess what? Nobody hit anybody over the head with a stick. I’m sure that was a big disappointment for the relentless anti-puck crowd. On this day, the league shined. If you were paying attention to the bigger picture, it was a win-win for the league. Of course, not everybody could be expected to see that picture.
“It’s hard for me or the guys in this room to appreciate that right now,” said Sabres co-captain Chris Drury, still soaked in sweat after the bitter loss. “Stepping back, though, I could see where it helps our game.”
