See all the celebs? Was that Mary Hart wearing a Kings' jersey? Best episode of ET, ever!
And Gretzky dropping the puck to start it all? And Bruce McNall, the man who made the trade all possible. Feeling like 1988 all over again. Good to see Mark Messier there, too. Where is Peter Pocklington?
New Jersey again had their chances and didn't convert. How many powerplays does this team need?
The first period was pretty good. But New Jersey let an opportunity slip away when they failed to score on the 5 on 3.
In the second period, both teams started to open up, but LA scored twice, but failed to get one on their first power play.
The first goal by Martinez had a bit of controversy behind it. But there was nothing controversial about Kopitar's goal, which put the game out of reach.
1993
Los Angeles came home and promptly got behind 3-0, early in the second period. But Lucky Luc got one back from Gretzky, and this keyed a comeback. Gretzky's goal at 17:07 of the second stanza would tie the game.
The game stayed that way as the team played a scoreless third period.
John Leclair won the game just 34 seconds into overtime, putting the Habs up 2-1 in the Series
1995
New Jersey really took it to Detroit, opening up a 5-0 lead, then allowing Detroit two meaningless goals for a 5-2 win.
Los Angeles: We can see the finish line, 60 more minutes...
New Jersey: We can't beat these guys at home or on the road
My three stars:
Quick
Kopitar
Williams
6.5: The action was good, but the game got a little one-sided by the third. I was hoping for another overtime game.
