Andrew Shaw deflected in the game-winning goal in the third overtime of Game 1 for the Blackhawks in their 4-3 win over the Bruins in the Stanley Cup Final
We really couldn't have asked for a better start to the Stanley Cup Final, with two stellar teams playing their best. Shaw's deflection was actually the second on Michal Rozsival's shot, as Dave Bolland also got a piece of it before it ticked off Shaw and beat Tuukka Rask. At that point in the game, it's the type of dirty goal you knew would be the difference, with the pace of the game slowing dramatically and the crispness worsening as well. Brandon Saad scored the Hawks' first goal in the second period. Boston went ahead 3-1 early in the third, but Dave Bolland and Johnny Oduya potted markers to even it in regulation. Marcus Kruger, Michael Frolik and Marian Hossa recorded the other helpers. It was the fifth-longest game in Stanley Cup Final history.
