Most people will tell you that the Amerks were lucky to leave the ice with a win last night. I’m going to tell you a different story; last night, the Amerks persevered and earned a win.
Before I get too far I have to admit that the last 5 minutes of the game left me completely confused. Spoiler alert: the Amerks were leading 3-1 with 5 minutes remaining - but for some reason, in my mind, they were only leading 2-1. It probably had something to do with the fact that this game had absolutely zero flow thanks to the teams being called for a combined nineteen penalties - but back to my confusion.
