Of course, it was Andrew Shaw. The pesky little forward always gets up when he's knocked down. The three-overtime opener of the Stanley Cup finals came to a thrilling end at the stroke of midnight Wednesday because the tenacious Shaw is a whole lot more than his reputation for irritating opposing players. Shaw skated in front of the goal at the right time, deflecting Dave Bolland's tip into the net for the winning score in the Chicago Blackhawks' 4-3 victory over the Boston Bruins in the fifth-longest game in the history of the Stanley Cup finals. "We knew it wasn't going to be pretty at that point," Shaw said. "You could tell both teams were physically exhausted. We've preached it: Go to the net, you'll find a way to get a greasy goal. We did a heck of a job of it there in the third overtime." Source: ESPN
What a game... Looks like deflections/screens scores are going to be the only way to separate these 2...
I turned off the game at 3-1. Buddy called me and told me to turn it back on after 3-2. Watched the whole thing to the finish. I though it was never going to end. Great saves back and forth. I don't know how Crawford was able to keep all of those shots out of the net. Just a great win and a fantastic game. Really wish that had been Game 7 though. Now all the other games in this series will seem boring.
