Stanley Cup Playoffs 2014: Blackhawks win in OT for 3-2 series lead over Blues

The Chicago Blackhawks and Anaheim Ducks are both one game closer to moving on, while Steve Mason saved the day for the Philadelphia Flyers.

Roussel did not seem to take his time in the penalty box as well as Etem and took his frustration out on his hockey stick.

Seriously, what is it with the 2014 playoffs and things centering around players‘ and coaches’ groin areas?

Perry briefly left the game but later returned.

That is Toews’ second goal of the series.

On Sunday, they have a chance to push the series to a seventh game.

At the beginning, it looks like this Flyers fan just has a really long, boneless thumb, but once he stops, that does appear to be a bitten hot dog:

So is that a Philly thing? Do local politicians jiggle hot dogs to make their points at the podium?

On Friday night, he made his first real impact and oh boy, was it a nice play.

Thanks to the Olympics and his performance in the USA-Russia shootout, Oshie’s name has become synonymous with shootout success, but the guy isn’t just about skills competitions. He’s also a heck of a hockey player with a lot of skill, and it was all on display here.

The Flyers had a 2-1 lead at that point in the game so it was a pretty big save, as well as the follow-up attempt on the rebound.

“I think we’re right there with them and now it’s our turn to, sorry for the words, put our balls on the table.”

Oh yes. That really happened. Here is the proof.

He was injured late in Game 2 when he was on the receiving end of a brutal hit to the head by Blackhawks defenseman Brent Seabrook. Backes was clearly shaken up and struggled getting off the ice, while Seabrook was suspended for three games. The final game of that suspension is Game 5 on Friday.

This was the play.
