A beautiful day for a hockey game

It was something like 80 degrees outside here in Washington. Perfect hockey weather, no?

Great game between the Whalers and Sabres that simply couldn't have done anything other than go to overtime. This series needs to go seven games.

Props to whoever was producing for OLN. Immediately after the game-winning goal, they cut first to a shot of 'Canes coach Peter Laviolette celebrating on the bench, and then to the penalty box just as the official was opening the door for J. P. Dumont. It was incredibly poignant (I thought). Very "thrill of victory, agony of defeat"-esque.
