#17 Mike Green Game 2 2013 vs. Rangers

There is nothing more stressful than a scoreless hockey game unless it’s in the playoffs and that said playoff game is in overtime still scoreless. That’s exactly what happened on May 4, 2013 as Mike Green’s overtime goal didn’t come until the eight minute mark of the extra session.

It put the Capitals up 2-0 in the series. This was a series where the home team won every game until Game 7 when the Caps got spanked sadly.

You win some against the Rangers and you lose some.

“I just seen he (Henrik Lundqvist) looked on the one side of the guy, and shot the other side. Just got lucky,” Green told Ted Starkey, who was with SB Nation at the time.

Green added:

"“(Mike Ribeiro) does such a great job of drawing guys to him and obviously they are on (Alex Ovechkin), so I just happened to be open and my goal was to get it by the first guy and try and hit the net.”"
