The noise of the crowd seemed to echo every which way across the arena. Everyone in their seats restless, unable to settle for even even a second. The puck was thrown across the ice to a streaking Paul Kariya along the boards. It seemed like a routine play heading into the offensive zone, until Karyia got to the face off dot and let it rip.
PING! Post and in over the glove.
And then...silence.
This was not Kariya’s legendary Game 6 goal in the Stanley Cup Finals against the New Jersey Devils.
