You don’t need anyone to break this one down for you. Frankly, there were enough breakdowns even before overtime to last quite a while, so we’ll spare ourselves the pain of retreading each little sequence that led to disaster/jubilation.
Scott Darling was really otherworldly tonight, and I’m not just talking about the nether galaxy that birthed Jordin Tootoo (whose personal journey is inspiring, but we’re talking about the hockey players here). The Stars had this game won in overtime, and through a combination of Eaves’s not elevating the puck and Darling’s leg going full Spring Man, this one lasted just long enough for one of the Hawks’ many top-notch players to shoot a puck while an already HHOF-worthy player screened Kari.
