It's up to us as coaches to make them aware that we know what's happening and to put a stop to it as quick as we can. The Detroit luck goes even farther with the game knotted 3-3 and 10.2 seconds remaining in the overtime, Manitoba's Phillippe Boucher was whistled for tripping. Playing the odds Shaw knew that even if his team didn't win the draw cleanly, the Moose would be hard pressed to score a goal at the other end of the ice in that amount of time. If the game were in Las Vegas, Shaw would have been a high roller that night. The face-off was not cleanly won and the Moose gained control, firing the puck on the empty Detroit net.
Replay shows the puck crossing the goal line about of a second after the final buzzer sounded.
Even Shaw had to grin a bit after that one. I think it was worth the gamble. It was the worst possible scenario. We had nobody on the puck. I think that, with a couple of guys I had on the ice, it was my mistake.
