If fans were looking for an exciting Game 5 in the Stanley Cup Final they certainly got it on Saturday night. However there was a very scary moment early in the game's first period,  one that could have resulted in a serious injury to young forward Nikita Kucherov. The play started when Chicago goalie Corey Crawford took a bad gamble and played the puck from behind his net, nearly resulting in an easy goal for Kucherov. Instead Kucherov found himself with no goal, and in serious pain after he crashed head and shoulders into the goal post forcing a stoppage in play. As Chicago fans collectively breathed a sigh of relief, Lightning fans collectively held theirs.
