Now, This Was One Hell Of A Hockey Game


I got to watch the last 4 minutes of this hockey game and you could not find a more exciting game.
From the Las Vegas Sun: The Wranglers hosted the Alaska Aces for the second of a three-game weekend homestand on Saturday night at the Orleans Arena. The two games could not have ended more differently....
The third period would again see a heavy dose of offensive pressure from the Aces, eventually resulting in a goal from Jordan Morrison with 2:18 to play in the game to give Alaska a 3-1 lead. The final 1:47 of the third period may go down as one of the most heroic in Las Vegas Wranglers history as Adam Hughesman and Chad Nehring would score goals :30 apart to tie the game with 1:17 to play in the third. With the crowd of over 6,000 re-energized, Wrangler Matt Tassone would beat the glove of Aces goaltender Aaron Crandal to give Las Vegas a 4-3 lead with :37 remaning in the game, and Las Vegas would leave the ice with the dramatic win over first-place Alaska.  http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2014/mar/29/las-vegas-leaves-ice-dramatic-win-over-alaska/
This story doesn't give the excitement credit.
The Wranglers were down 3-1 with about 3 minutes left and scored 3 goals in about 2 minutes and they were not easy shots.
This was one of the most exciting last 3 minutes of ahockey game you would ever want to see.
