Detroit forces OT with 5 seconds left to eliminate the Flyers. Does Torts see the scoreboard before pulling the goalie with 5 minutrs left in a tie game to give the Caps the win and eliminate the Wings?
All this talk comparing this year's team to 2 years ago versus last year. Seems like as good a time as any to point to Tampa.
