HOCKEY is OVERTIME. There is nothing like it in ANY other sport. SUDDEN-DEATH OVERTIME PLAYOFF HOCKEY. Tonight, we were getting ready to watch the San Jose Sharks (GOOOO SHARKS!!!) host the Edmonton Oilers in Game 2 of Round 2 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs and OLN had coverage of the New Jersey Devils - Carolina Hurricanes. The Devils and Hurricanes were locked in a 1-1 tie for the entire 3rd period and we were excited for OT, but not completely thrilled since the coverage for that game would overlap our Sharks game. Then, with 21 seconds left in the 3rd Period, the Devils SCORE!!!! Game OVER! NO, THE GAME IS NOT OVER YET... with 21 ticks left, Carolina elects to pull their goaltender for the final 21 ticks AND the ensuing faceoff. Two of the top faceoff guys in the NHL, Brind'Amour vs. Elias. Elias WINS the draw for the Devils, but dumps 
it way back into his own zone and 6 Hurricanes go to a FRENZIED forecheck. With 3.0 seconds left on the clock, Carolina TIES the game! Pandamonium!!!We were EXCITED then we realized... NOOOOOOO, the Sharks game won't come on until OT is done! No! Now, somebody must WIN in the first 5-min of OT, ANYBODY, PLEASE SCORE!!!
Carolina answers our cry... 3-min into it...
TIME FOR THE SHARKS, GAME 2 vs the OILERS!!!!
GO SHARKS!!!

Yipee for the Hurricanes! I'm so glad to hear that you watched. We don't get the luxury of seeing the Sharks out here. Guess we'll have to hope for a Sharks/Hurricanes matchup.
If Carolina and San Jose continue on their current paths... YOU and RAMESH might see a Sharks-Hurricanes FINAL, and Sharks games near your home!!!
Canes would have home ice... so go see Game 1 and/or 2, as they might not be back for Game 5 the way our Sharks are playing right now! They won their FRANCHISE RECORD 6th playoff game in a row! Toskala is KICKING ASS!!!
GO SHARKS!!!! CHEEEEEEEECHOOOOOOOOO.... chuga, chuga, CHHHEEEEEEEEECHOOOOOOO!!! The train keeps rolling...
