Colorado took a huge step towards hoisting the Stanley Cup with a slightly fortunate 3-2 OT win at Tampa last night. This win moved them to 3-1 in the series and if history is anything to go by pretty much handed them the trophy. Only the 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs<\/a> have come back from this when they trailed 3-0.\u00a0Anyway on to the game.<\/p>\n

Tampa got off to a good start taking the lead inside the first minute via Anthony Cirelli. However, Nathan MacKinnon tied the game with a power-play goal that looked like it went in off his skate.\u00a0 Tampa took the lead again in the second period but they couldn’t hold on to the lead and a deflected equalizer in the third set wp the second OT of the series.<\/p>\n

Once again it was Colorado who prevailed – even if again there was a hint of luck in their goal. As Nazem Kadri struck the winner it appeared that Colorado had too many men on the ice. Although this is a technicality we have seen goals chalked off for this before and given the significance we were surprised that it was allowed to stand.<\/p>\n
