Delay of Game (2014)
“If we could do that, we would move on to the next round. We’d dominated play throughout much of Game Five, so if we could maintain that, it shouldn’t be hard to do what needed to be done.
In the overtime period, Hamhuis had been trying to clear the puck out of the Canucks’ zone after a long shift, but one of our guys, Antoine Gagnon, had fresh legs. Gags had put a ton of pressure on Hamhuis, and he’d just barely gotten the blade of his stick in the way of the pass when the puck had taken a stra...nge hop. Then Hamhuis had tried to help his goaltender out by blocking it. That had proved to be a poor decision on his part. It’d deflected off him, hit a rut in the ice, and somehow it had gone into the net. The officials had credited Gags with the goal, despite the fact that he hadn’t really shot the puck; he’d just been the last Storm player to touch it, and therefore it was his. Now he belonged to that exclusive list of players who’d scored playoff overtime goals. Considering he only had twelve career NHL goals, that was quite a feat.MoreLess
