GAME RECAP #70: NUCKS WIN! A Point and OT Loss

How many times have we seen the opening minutes of Nucking home games seem like an extended horror trailer?

This is game 70, so it must be less than that.

Barely.

Nucks gave up 9 shots on goal in the 1st 7 minutes of the 1st. Versus their 1 shot on Leadener.

On the Golden Knighties 10th shot, they scored.

The Nucks responded immediately.

In the 3rd period.

Why respond to a single goal deficit in the 1st when you can respond to a 2 goal deficit in the 3rd? Why rush into the lead and miss the glory travesty of OT?
