More than a few people believe that the Chicago Blackhawks’ dramatic Game 5 win against the Los Angeles Kings was the best game of the 2014 postseason so far. It seems like some of the participants would agree ... at least on Chicago’s side.

In fact, Blackhawks head coach Joel Qunneville gives it a special distinction in his own coaching career.

“I’ve seen a lot of games, been involved in a lot of games. That might have been the greatest overtime I’ve seen,” Quenneville said.

Corey Crawford probably said it best: it’s easier to look back at how thrilling that game was when you end up coming out on top.
