They were five unblinking eyes in the net, ready to be the goalie's best friends or worst enemies, depending on what they saw.

In the St. Louis Blues' 3-2 overtime win against the Boston Bruins in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final at TD Garden on Wednesday that tied the best-of-7 series 1-1, the value of those eyes and what gave them sight was roughly $100,000 in each net behind Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask and Blues goalie Jordan Binnington.

Three stationary cameras were those of the NHL, two embedded in the crossbar, another mounted between them, a few inches lower, all staring at the goal line ready to determine whether a puck had entered the net.

In the middle of the net, just above the ice, was a plexiglass-protected box holding a Canon camera with a 15mm fish-eye lens, shutters released by remote control by two Getty Images photographers, one at each end of the rink.
