What an amazing game! Playoff hockey is the best hockey.

I don't even care who wins the Cup at this point, but watching last night's game go into the third overtime was so awesome (for those who aren't familiar with NHL rules, there are no shootouts in the playoffs, so a tied game means the teams play sudden death overtime, 20 minutes each period, until someone scores). By the time it got halfway through the second overtime, all the players were skating like they were drunk—falling down, taking twice as long to recover from hits. It was pretty hilarious. Even the fans were showing signs of fatigue—one camera shot showed a fan hitting at the glass during a scuffle and he just looked like he was pawing at it like a half-awake kitten. Awe! Nice try, buddy!

And that was only game one! This is gonna be a great series.*

*Except for the fact I have to see Patrick Kane's dumb mullet/weird beard combination all the time. What a turd.
