A Weird (But Exciting) Night Of Hockey

Both Game 3s tonight (Boston @ Carolina and Washington @ Pittsburgh) strangely followed the exact same scoring pattern:

Visitor scores first, goes up 1-0
Home team ties it at 1
Home team goes up 2-1
Visitor ties it at 2
Game goes to OT
Home team scores in 1st OT period, wins 3-2

Now, in one case that made a series out of it (had the Penguins lost, they'd have been trailing 3-0 and all but dead) whereas the other one already was a series... but now the top-rated Bruins are trailing for the first time in this postseason.

I wasn't overly concerned when Carolina tied the series the other night. But after last night's loss, I'm definitely feeling that, as they have for the last 30+ years, they're simply coming up short again.

I guess I should be happy we spanked the Habs and start watching baseball.
