Six-On-Six: The Drama to End All Dramas

Last night, I witnessed on live stream something I have never seen before in that magnitude of an event. Enter Game 2 of the NLL Champions Cup Final, 15 seconds to play. The Georgia Swarm, up 1-0 in a best of three, have their goalie pulled to try and tie the game trailing 14-13 to the game host Saskatchewan Rush with possession after a timeout, when at the next few moments the ball is forcibly turned over. Saskatchewan immediately calls timeout when the player with the ball is double teamed at 9 seconds. As Rush head coach Derek Keenan has been known to do, they pull their goalie to make sure Georgia does not double team the ball with the Swarm being a man up. Nine seconds, left, no goalies on the floor. But Saskatchewan still has the ball. "If he does that here now, the fans in here are going to have a heart attack...he's doing it...great play but they gotta execute," said Brian Shanahan in real time during the broadcast. What happened next will live in infamy forever...

Yes, you saw it. The Rush turn it over off the restart, with an incredible save from a runner then the goal then the Swarm winner in overtime. If you decided to not watch and just read this, watch it because you’d have to see it to believe it. One of the biggest moment’s right up there with Kaleb Toth in 1999, and others. You have to feel for those fans in Minnesota that had their team taken away unjustly. It has reminiscence of the Nordiques in the NHL leaving for Colorado. But this is for the Hive. The only thing is: it should've happened while they were still in Minnesota.
