Just an amazing game last night in the second round of the NHL playoffs between the Sharks and Red Wings. Benn Ferriero, a player on the Sharks whose last name I couldn't even spell before last night, scored the game winning in overtime to give San Jose a 1-0 lead in the best of seven series.How unlikely was his goal? Well he played about four minutes and some change in the entire game.
To those foreign to hockey, he basically played four minutes in a game that lasted close to 70 minutes out on the ice.
It was his first shift of OT, and in his first playoff game, he scores the big game winner. The Sharks are now 4-0 in overtime so far in these 2011 Stanley Cup Playoffs.
To top it off, it was also Ferriero's 24th birthday, a birthday that will definitely be hard to top and something he'll remember the rest of his life.
On the other side of the ice, it was the 48th birthday for Red Wings coach Mike Babcock. A not so pleasant way to spend his birthday.
Game 2 will be tomorrow at noon and the good news is that even if you don't have cable, you can watch the game. The puck drops a little bit after 12 p.m. on NBC Bay Area, Ch. 11 on local TV, and Ch. 3 on most Comcast cable systems.
