The computer age

Maybe it was Jim Hughson's voice, but I for a moment I could swear I was watching EA Sports computer hockey instead of the real thing in the first overtime period of the Montreal/Carolina game Monday. The Canes Kevyn Adams got a shorthanded two on one break. The Montreal defender cut off the pass, but Adams had a clear path to move in towards the net. Instead he stopped and took the longest slapshot wind up in playoff history. Unfortunately it's not like the computer game and the length of time you hold your stick in the air doesn't relate to the speed of the shot. Regardless Adams missed the net and we're off to the second OT period.
