In case you missed it last night, the Florida Panthers tied up their first round series against the Washington Capitals with a much needed OT win to bring the series to two games apiece.

Here's another angle that shows the impact a bit better:

ESPN insider Greg Wyshynski reports that there will be NO hearing coming for Oshie with the reasoning from NHL Player Safety being that Bennett himself turned into the hit and it was his own stick that caused him to bleed not the impact from Oshie's shoulder.

That's just good, tough, playoff hockey. Nothing to see here. This series is about to get NASTY. Love it!
