Holy Zarkin Frood

In case you missed it. . .

I would have preferred not to link to the giant game highlight video, but it’s the only one that gives me what I want. Fast-forward to about 3:15 and watch the last five seconds of the game. Make sure to stick around past the celebration to watch the slow motion replay. I think I gave myself a hernia while watching it live. Now I think. . . and I’ve never been quite clear on this. . . but I think the goal has to go in before time expires (as compared to the NBA, where the shot merely needs to be ‘on the way’), so I *think* that Hossa’s last shot wouldn’t have counted. And just hypothetically, but if that had happened. . . well, I really don’t have the words to describe any of this. It was a good season of hockey-watchin’, and congrats to the Wings.
