May 20, 1975: Rene Robert ended one of eeriest nights in NHL history, snatching Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final with a goal 18:29 into overtime. Because of unusual heat in Buffalo that day, the game was played in thick fog that made it difficult for fans in the Memorial Auditorium to see the players. What's more, during a stoppage in play, Sabres center Jim Lorentz swatted a bat out of the air

Congratulations goes out to Sweden for winning the 2013 IIHF World Hockey Championship. But seriously, what's up with the gold helmets?!

No pain.

The first period was scoreless but hardly boring, with multiple scoring chances within the first couple minutes. Chris Phillips took a questionable holding penalty six minutes in, putting Ottawa at the mercy of Pittsburgh's excellent power play. Seriously, have you seen this power play? Evgeni Malkin gets caught up in the neutral zone, giving more room for Sidney Crosby to pass through. Excellent goaltending and defence saved the Senators' hides, keeping the Penguins off the scoreboard. For the first time in 50 games, the full Ottawa Senators power play was able to take the ice. Dropping Turris to the second unit made for, with no exaggeration, their best-looking power play in months. What recently had been an exercise in mimicking statues on ice suddenly came to life, moving around and generating opportunities. With only seconds to go in the first, Evgeni Malkin broke loose on a breakaway only to be tripped up by a desperate Marc Methot, putting the Penguins up on a power play going into the second period. A dangerous way to start the period was exacerbated when the Senators took a too many men on the ice penalty with a minute to left on the first one. Not only were the Senators able to kill it, but we were treated to a rare sight: Marc Methot leading a 2-on-1. A failed 2-on-1, but still. A highly entertaining second period featured some awful calls both ways (Zack Smith getting two minutes for touching Malkin, Sidney Crosby getting two minutes for Jared Cowen knocking Crosby's stick into his face, and embellishment by Karlsson that was also known as Douglas "Crankshaft" Murray yanking him by the neck), ultimately culminating on a laser shot from Tyler Kennedy that put the Penguins up 1-0 just one minute before intermission. Third period. The real story for most of the period was CBC's Bryan Murray isolated camera reaction shots. Bryan Murray might be the most entertaining GM in hockey right now when his team comes oh-so-close to scoring and ultimately fails. And that's pretty much all that happened. At least, that was all that happened until Erik Karlsson reaped the rewards of being labeled a diver. A blatant, atrocious high stick in the face by (who else) Matt Cooke went uncalled, denying Ottawa a power play that they sorely needed. With less than two minutes to go, Karlsson slashed Cooke's stick, had his break in half, and was sent to the box. Down 1-0 and shorthanded, it seemed all but lost. And then... Daniel Alfredsson. We head to overtime. Bryan Murray might need to see a doctor about his heart after this period. So. Many. Chances. Both teams. Craig Anderson was outstanding, as was the entire Penguins defence. Spezza was losing faceoffs but winning battles. The Penguins missed passes. But right before everyone's heart gives out... We head to second overtime. Chris Phillips takes another questionable penalty, this time getting hooked into a tug of war with (who else) Matt Cooke. Somehow, in overtime, the Senators manage to kill it off. Soon after, Matt Niskanen takes a penalty for Pittsburgh. Fortunately for the Penguins, Ottawa's regular season power play made its triumphant (?) return. Not 20 seconds later, the line of Colin Greening, Erik Condra, and Jean-Gabriel Pageau break out. Passing and chaos ensue. Then, to break the tie 27:39 into overtime, Colin Greening knocks one in. Senators win 2-1 in one of the most entertaining games in Ottawa Senators history. Sens Hero: Colin GreeningGreening has easily been one of the best Senators this round, if not the best. Tonight he managed to pull off another feat in potting the game-winner. During the play he also was high-sticked in the face, slicing him enough that he had to have fiberglass removed from his face. He still did an interview with CBC first. Sens Hero: Colin GreeningYeah, I'm giving it to him twice. Double hero for double overtime. Sens Hero: Daniel AlfredssonAt 40-years old the captain is still oftentimes the best Senator on the ice. If nothing e

Zack Smith finishes off Matt Niskanen with the stinky leg drop. No. 1 Star: Craig Anderson, Ottawa Senators Anderson stopped 49 of 50 as the Senators staged a stunning comeback over the Pittsburgh Penguins, tying the game with less than a minute to go and winning it, 2-1, in double overtime. No. 2 Star: Torey Krug, Boston Bruins Krug's second postseason game was even better than his first. He had a two-point night in the Bruins 5-2 win, scoring again and picking up an assist. His play on the goal, kicking the puck to his stick then whipping it past Henrik Lundqvist, showed some serious veteran savvy: No. 3 Star: Colin Greening Greening was the double overtime hero in Ottawa, banging home a loose puck on his backhand seven minutes into the second extra frame. Honourable mention: Tuukka Rask made 35 saves and Patrice Bergeron had two assists in the Bruins' win... Daniel Alfredsson's game-tying goal was a pretty big deal. Lovely give-and-go, although I have to wonder how he managed to become so invisible to the Pittsburgh defenders. Did You Know? Krug became the 4th Bruin to score in his first two playoff games after Cooney Weiland (1929), Don Gallinger (1943), and this Tyler Seguin kid that did it in 2011. Conn Smythe Watch: 1. Evgeni Malkin, Pittsburgh Penguins; 2. David Krejci, Boston Bruins; 3. Jonathan Quick, Los Angeles Kings; 4. Patrice Bergeron, Boston Bruins; 5. Corey Crawford, Chicago Blackhawks; 6. Sidney Crosby, Pittsburgh Penguins; 7. Craig Anderson, Ottawa Senators. 8. Henrik Lundqvist, New York Rangers; 9. Henrik Zetterberg, Detroit Red Wings; 10. Drew Doughty, Los Angeles Kings. Dishonourable mention: The fact that Daniel Alfredsson was so open on the game-tying goal is insane. Both Malkin and Letang just completely forgot there was ice behind them... John Tortorella, you can't say that on live television!
