Before the pre-game show on Wednesday night, Sportsnet was showing Game 2 of the Los Angeles Kings and Montreal Canadiens Stanley Cup final series. After Eric Desjardins’s game-winning goal in overtime, Bob Cole has an iconic call, but it’s not “DESJARDINS” that I’m after this time. It’s how he wraps it up.
“The series is a brand new one.”
Nobody would have blamed the Canadiens coming back to Montreal for Game 3 down 2-0 in the series. After all, after the first game against the Vegas Golden Knights, there may be some people surprised they even played Game 2.
