Hat Trick for Granlund and a OT win for Anaheim against the Flames with 1 second left on the clock! LET'S GO DUCKS !
It´s a great day to be a Finn!!!! Granny was AWESOME out there!!!!!
Great 2 points, well needed too!
Husso was good too mind u?!
I am super happy they won but can they please stop playing sluggish hockey for 2/3 of the game? This could have easily been a loss.
