It keeps playing in my head.

The puck appearing, irretrievable, behind Carey Price. 17,000 people jumping up and screaming YEAH at once. Players flying into the frame of my viewfinder, leaping onto the pile of bodies against the boards.

Adrenaline is a hell of a drug.

It was only one game in a first-round series. But it was double overtime, meaning they had played a regulation sixty minutes, ended in a tie, cleaned the ice, played another twenty minutes, cleaned the ice again, and played about nine minutes by the time one of our guys scored.

They would have kept playing until someone had scored, as long as it took, cleaning the ice every twenty minutes. And the players get more and more tired, and it becomes a battle of will, and when your team wins that battle, it feels so sweet.

Especially against Montreal.

Boston leads the series three games to two. They need four games to win. Game six is Tuesday night in Montreal.
