Because I'm too lazy to look, and because I can't find any other adequate videos of this particular game that highlight what I want to focus on, I instead pulled out the full highlights from NHL.com for this game against the Kings from two seasons ago. (1/7/10) So yes, the video does run a little long.
I remember watching this game and having my jaw in a perpetually dropped position throughout this game. I honestly thought the Kings were going to win this game because of how many quality scoring chances they had. Jimmy Howard quite literally got a king's ransom from this game, because he just absolutely stole a win for the Red Wings right out from under the Kings. He left Staples Center that night having made 51 saves while Dan Cleary and Darren Helm put pucks behind Jonathan Quick to seal a game the Kings had every opportunity to win but ultimately didn't. I very nearly got in trouble for watching this game because 1) I screamed like a maniac when Helm scored because everything about this game just seemed so surreal and 2) my mom is a Kings fan.
