RACK that game...the only better than a multiple OT game is multiple OTs in a Game 7.

I don't think I've heard or read anyone with that opinion. It's pretty much universally agreed that playoff OT is the best part about hockey.

One could argue that it was the last game Jagr ever played where he was still the man.

He carried them into the playoffs, carried them in the playoffs. His back was all fucked up..yet he played sick minutes against a Philly team that abused him at every step. He owned the city of Pittsburgh that year.

Then it all went south.
