Football On The Rocks

I've loved hockey ever since my parents wouldn't let me watch it. Recently my dad and I have made a point of going to Kings games whenever I'm home. In case you don't know enough about hockey to get psyched about it, watch this clip below.

A little background: The Oilers (Edmonton) were trashing the Stars (Dallas) 4-1 before the Stars scored four straight goals (that's roughly equivalent to an MLB team overcoming an 8-2 deficit to take a lead in the seventh inning). Up 5-4, Dallas had a shot at putting the game further out of reach with less than a minute remaining when the Stars' Patrik Stefan had a shot at an open goal (teams down by one goal will often/always pull their goalie in order to increase their offensive numbers in the closing minute (this gives them six players who can attack the opposing team's goal)).
This is what happened.

Whoops.

It's really a shame all the excellent football this week overshadowed this game. It may be the most fascinating hockey game of all time.

P.S. Dallas won in a shootout. If teams are tied at the end of regulation and one overtime period, they select three players per team to face the opposing team's goalie one on one. Whoever gets the most goals wins.
