All sports have those outrageous moments that make you laugh or scream, but rare is the instant you find yourself doing both. Tonight, screams of anger, joy, and befuddlement were plentiful, because it turns out it isn’t possible not to react to Tyler Seguin scoring last-second goals, killing penalties, and fighting Patrik Nemeth.
Seguin mentioned before the season started that he was excited to finally get the chance to be an outright number one center, and it’s hard to imagine a number one center doing any more number one centering than he did tonight. Seguin got a Gordie Howe Hat Trick thanks to Patrik Nemeth, and hoo boy, did Nemeth ever figure into a different part of that equation than you would have guessed.
