There is nothing I can’t stand more than late period goals. To be clear, that’s any goal by the opposition with under two minutes to play. The disdain grows the closer you get to 0.0 seconds on the clock.
Last night the Penguins tied the game with one near the end of the first period (1:06) and scored the game-winner with just 20 seconds on the clock in the second period.
If you think I hate it – I can only imagine how David Quinn and the Rangers feel about it.

“Goals at the end of the first and second period kind of killed us a little bit,” Ryan Strome said after picking up a power play goal in the third period to cut it to 3-2.
