If you’ve been watching hockey for long enough, you pick up on things. You can sense when a goal’s going to happen. You can tell when a team has it in them to overcome a three goal deficit, or when a team’s about to blow a three goal lead.

In every sense of the word, it was an unbelievable moment for many, because over 52 years, fans were conditioned to expect defeat being snatched from the jaws of victory. We literally couldn’t believe what we were seeing on our televisions or on the big screen at Enterprise Center or Busch Stadium.
