Folks, I must be honest, I am home on Long Island for the weekend, and when my mother has Bunco (a dice game with the neighbor ladies, don't ask) my father, my brother, and I go to Applebee's for wings and ribs. For that reason, my first and second period recaps may not be fully accurate, or not fully comprehensive. If I left out anything important, I implore you to reply in the comments.
First Period
The game started innocuously enough. It was a relatively even first few minutes, with a lot of back and forth hockey that was reminiscent of Game 1 of last year's playoffs.
