Whatever switch got flipped with 10 minutes to go in the 3rd, remember where that one is. That's the team that plays to win.

No kidding. That's the team we've been used to, prior to the last couple weeks of the season. I like the all Finn forward line. Seems that combo at least gave stability to all four lines. Maybe they didn't score, but after that line was assembled the play was mostly in the Colorado zone. We can build on stability

Things seemed to go better when they played heavy instead of trying to skate and skill with them.

Desperation is a powerful thing in playoff hockey.

There seemed to be a long time in the OT period without any stoppage in play. It just kept going and going, so after the game finished, I went back and tracked it.   

There was continuous play for 7 minutes 8 seconds in OT. From 12:30 remaining to 5:22 remaining when Bichsel took a helmet to the mouth, no whistles. 

While watching it, it seemed like about 3x to 4x as long as normal between whistles. Maybe longer. 

I checked the next stop and it was 3:56, so only 1 minute 26 seconds until the next whistle.  

Then the goal was at 2:16 (no matter what the clock said), so just 1 minute and 30 seconds.

They took a minute or two to let the players rest while checking Bichsel’s face… probably so that the refs could catch their breaths more than the players. 

The fans needed a break as well, because being on pins & needles for that long is as draining as it is exhilarating.

I went to bed at the end of the 2nd period, disgusted by the Stars power play, where they not only couldn’t get shots off, they couldn’t even get the puck in the zone. It was ridiculous. 

There is something very wrong with this team. Rantanen sucks. There isn’t enough team speed. The puck passing is slow and lazy. All this pops up after the trade. I’m pumped they won, but something has to change or it will be an early exit.
