What a game that was! I don't normally write hockey game reviews. Admittedly I'm not the world's biggest fan, but I do try to watch the important games. And the twins' last home game before retirement was a barn-burner!
It was one where if it had been written as fiction, the editor would have tossed it back for a re-write. Too perfect. That'd NEVER happen in real life. However, we did watch it happen in real life, and both Sedins did score goals!
Although the first non-goal had relevance too. Henrik rang one off the post (the first shot of the game!) about 30 seconds into the game (or was it 33 seconds?). That seemed to set the tone. I should have composed this post the night of the game when it was really fresh in my head. The numbers synergy in this game was crazy. I think it was the tying goal when #22 got his 22nd season point assisted by his brother #33, 33 seconds into the 2nd period.
The game winner was equally impressive. Henrik (#33) passed to Daniel (#22) to score at 2:33 into OT. The soon-to-be retirees, the combined source of the evening's celebration, won the game!
Ya just can't make this stuff up.
