The best game of the 2018 Stanley Cup playoffs could have ended 11-10, Jets coach Paul Maurice said, and it would have been fair.

Everything was happening - from late-game drama to double overtime heroics, from ’s histrionics after a slash to ’s herculean strength rag-dolling one Predator with each arm in a scrum.

The paying customers got 25 minutes more than they bargained for on Sunday night.

No one asked for refund, only more.

“If you didn’t care, if you weren’t from Nashville or Winnipeg, you had to like that,” Predators coach Peter Laviolette said. “There was a point in the second period where it was a track meet, just up and down as fast as two teams could do.”

The NHL’s most anticipated second-round series certainly lived up to the billing in Game 2. It wasn’t just high-event hockey, it was hold-on-to-your-butts hockey.
