it was right on the corner. that also gives you a second chance for rebound which it did and l.a. sharp to clear it out. you can sense that l.a. built on what they did, the momentum they had from the williams goal. they carried it forward. st. louis came out a little bit tentative. they recovered a little bit and they don't look and feel like is same team that they did for most of the game. >> leopold plays it around. on the left wing side. snaps it across. shattenkirk get it is shot away. up high on quick and holds it there. >> defensemen is important as they always are in these types of games. you have to have mobility, players to join the rush. that's one of them. shattenkirk on jonathan quick. that last shot up a little bit too quick. you have to give yourself a chance or one of your teammates a chance on a rebound. you have to get those shots down

of scuderi. quick as he usually does gets down really low. finds that puck and makes a save. >> brian, now darryl sutter used his time-out on the icing call here in overtime. remember that ken hitchcock did it for the blues back in the second period. >> patience has been the name of the game. and that guy, jonathan quick. he's given them a chance. that's why they're here. i mean, he made several just stellar saves in this game. to hold l.a. in when st. louis putting pressure on and kept it at one. l.a. hung around and hung around and hung around and one shot they needed with 31 seconds to go. >> his goals against average last year in the playoffs lowest ever by an nhl goaltender in a playoff year where he played more than a dozen games. that's how great that performance was. all right. faceoff here controlled by los angeles. dustin brown trying to push it ahead.

persevering. voynov follows. tried to get it to the front and it was just blocked before it got to dustin brown. kopitar. backes baring down on him. justin williams. broken up in the neutral zone of bouwmeester and the blues in to the l.a. zone. quick for voynov. hands it off for kopitar. williams. and picked up now by dwight king. kopitar. up high there on elliott. missed the net and the puck down in to the l.a. zone and doughty hands it off now once again for kopitar. he'll send it deep. king on the far side. polak ties him up. berglund for st. louis. carter is there for los angeles. blues control deep in their own zone. comes to. thej. oshie.

bench. gets a nice pass of richardson. here's the quick up i was talking about. that's muzzin throwing it up quickly to stoll. stoll one hands it over to penner and got that scoring chance, as well, too. elliott with a nice job of making the save and also in the way of the rebound off one of his players coming back in to the crease area to help him out. >> now the line of richards between williams and brown for darryl sutter. >> this is the best l.a. played in the game. this overtime. >> sobotka line out here for ken hitchcock with stewart and mcdonald. he takes the draw and he wins it. jackman. pressured by dustin williams. now richards hands it off. brown tried to get it back to him. stewart had to break with it.

regehr back in the blues end. pietrangelo looked around. plays it up the glass. regehr. able to get it back in deep. king is there. out here with kopitar. and carter. steen backhands it in to the l.a. zone. doughty has it. l.a. won the season series 3-0. they won the playoff series last year, 4-0. the shot, eliot took a quick look to his right. >> oh. >> well, they have passed the halfway mark of the first overtime and going to clean the ice. while they do that, let's go back to the studio. >> all right. it's a game break. game one between the red wings and the ducks. through one period. nick scored for anaheim and cleary on the power play answered so that game is 1-1. you can see that on the nhl network. meanwhile, in chicago, they play

on. the hawks and wild also tied at 1-1. three games tonight, all tied at one apiece and also in overtime. you can see that game on the nbc sports network. dave? >> all right, bill. that's what playoff hockey is all about. 1-1 games. low scoring. tight checking. >> anze kopitar with the last chance just before leaving to the studio. maybe a deflected puck but elliott made the save. hit the arm and then what? i don't see it. we must be okay. i watched jonathan quick skate back to his bench. during the break. not a sign of worry on his face when the mask came off. amazing how laid back these guys can look. when they're in the pressured situation. the pressured situations. position.

can't afford to make a mistake. remember, that is l.a. team that started every series on the road last year. won the first two games in every series on the road and first home game, the first team in stanley cup history to go on 3-0 in all 4 series in the playoff year. they ended the first round series with vancouver with an overtime goal and the final against phoenix with an overtime goal. they also had two overtime winners in that stanley cup final against the new jersey devils. stoll with lewis right behind him. berglund to the faceoff circle to the blues. stoll is tossed out of there.

knuckle balled up in the air. elliott down. >> you're anticipating the shot. watch the goaltender go down. he can't see it. he has to reach up and might be easy in baseball but try this stuff when you have all of the equipment on. under a pressure situation. i got it. it's fine. >> richards and sobotka this time. tie each other up. the blues have it. pietrangelo. center ice. right back in by robin regehr. 11 minutes gone in this first overtime period. sobotka. far side. big collision in front of the l.a. bench and the kings back the other way. williams handles the shot and elliott will have that. another faceoff in the st. louis end. >> real good job by regehr standing up in the neutral zone. i think he was whacked in the nose again for the trouble. he stood up on david backes in the neutral zone right here. changes direction.

l.a.'s able to take it back in and the same guy that tied it up gets the good scoring chance and then for his trouble, yeah, change that stuff. >> he actually lost some of that out here on the ice. the stuff that was in his nose before and for his trouble he was whacked in the nose again. oh well. another day at the office. >> kopitar sends it across now. king able softly in to the blues zone. jackman making sure that he clears it. berglund overskates. carter and jackman have each other tied up and deep in the blues zone. kings on him able to move it to t.j. oshie. up the left side for jackman. the l.a. net and kicked aside to

turns the puck over. shattenkirk turns over. tries to lift his stick and missed it and clipped him right in the mouth. watch doughty here. number 8. that's the great defensive play i was talking about. that's hard on the stick there. doughty making sure that porter who would have had a slam dunk from the edge of the crease doesn't get it. >> well, it is a double minor penalty. kevin shattenkirk. what an opportunity here for the los angeles kings. this is just their second power play of the game. remember, st. louis scored the only goal with the man advantage and then missed taking advantage of four more power plays in regulation time. carter across the line. finds kopitar. kopitar sends it across and skips through richards. richards playing the left point. doughty the right point.

kopitar and brown up front. l.a. gets a little sloppy there and cleared back down behind jonathan quick. look out! a giveaway! score! alex steen! shorthanded! l.a. failed to keep it in on their power play on a routine play behind the net turns anything but routine.

mishandled by quick. steen scores shorthanded. and the st. louis blues accomplish something they haven't been able to do for a long time. that's beat los angeles. jonathan quick is going to see that play in his sleep. second of the game. won on the power play. won shorthanded. and boy, l.a. had all the momentum. still had plenty of time on a double minor power play and the guy that brian engblom said earlier was the best player on the ice most of the night, steen, with both goals. they're going to announce the three stars of the game here. at scottrade center. i have a feeling one of those

stars is the player that brian is waiting to interview patiently down at ice level. an unassisted shorthanded goal. 13:26 in to the first overtime. and alex steen is the hero after l.a. tied the game in the last minute of regulation. kept the momentum five on five overtime and then the benefit of the double minor high sticking penalty against shattenkirk. and this crowd just exploded. a member of the fourth line that was effective all night long for the st. louis blues, they certainly set the tempo in the

first period. a so for first star's celebrations to an interview of brian engblom. brian? >> alex, an incredible finish to an incredible game. talk about the winning goal. what happened back there? what did you see? >> i knew that they had been out there. i went out so i was a little fresher on their power play and the puck went down and thought i eat put some pressure. looked back over the shoulder. had a guy on the left side and went there and my stick went in the net.

>> you haven't been able to beat this team since early last season. what was the locker room like? you played a strong game here. >> yeah. i thought we played a good game. we came out the way we wanted to. hard, physical. short shift. i think as the game went on, we started to get longer and we got to get back to the short shifts, especially now. warm outside. and warm inside, too, in the middle. shorten them up a little bit and played a solid game. we went back a little bit in overtime. but yeah. big win for us. >> thanks a lot, alex. congratulations. >> appreciate it. >> dave? >> power play goal on the first period to make it 1-0 and then win get. thanks for joining us. let's send you back to the studio. >> dave, thank you so much. what a turn of events. we were sitting here thinking it's over. l.a. will win it. >> this is why we love playoffs

so much. the intensity and what happens in games continues to shift moment to moment. the blues came out flying and what did l.a. kings do? hung around and their shifts started to change. l.a. feels confident. scored late in the first period and then first overtime. it was all l.a. this is a big, big -- just a disappointment for the l.a. kings losing this game. >> take a look at the overtime winner once again and it's alex steen, a pair of goals in the game for him. one on the power play. four shorthanded. >> you think the kings licking the chops and the best player of the game, jonathan quick, makes a huge costly mistake. he is thinking about this until they drop the puck in the next game. they let it slip and had the game under control. i can see the blues starting to wear down. put in a lot of left in the first period. the kings kept coming and coming and a four-minute power play. i can't tell you how important

and how much the l.a. kings really thought that this was in their grasp. stanley cup finals, you know and playoffs, every little thing is important. you have to stay sharp. for 60 minutes, 80 minutes, 120 minutes. quick wasn't sharp one minute and they lose the game. >> all right. so the blues take it 2-1 in overtime. game two thursday night also on cnbc 9:30 eastern time. in chicago, another 2-1 final. another overtime game as the blackhawks took on the minnesota wild. and here is the game winner in overtime. victor stalberg to brian bickle. almost simultaneous. a huge overtime win for the chicago blackhawks. wild played hard tonight. >> indeed. backstrom injured before the game. josh harding took over. 35 saves for him but he couldn't get it done. crawford, the win.

on a slow day like today, remember that not all companies have to be held hostage to the vicissitudes of the stock market or even the economy. some have the ability to take their fate into their own hands. that's why while it sounds unromantic, we are big believers in break-ups here on "mad money," because breaking up can be a fabulous way for a can be to unlock value for its shareholders. this is a story we have seen so many times, but it's worth repeating, because it's so darn lucrative. they made a killing when they broke up. and others that we talk about all the time, like kraft. sometimes it feels like all we do is talk about big-name breakups, kind of like the "people" magazine of the stock market. that's okay. that's commercially successful. another company i believe could unlock a tremendous amount of value, simply with the stroke of a pen, simply by splitting

itself up, i'm talking about perk & elmer. pki. a little $3.5 billion laboratory supply and life science. probably never heard of them unless you watch the show all of the time because i've mentioned it before. they formed into a merger in 1999 and built itself up through a series of major acquisitions and five years ago management reorganized the company, two distinct units, a human health division and environmental health business. on the human side, accounts for 56% of the company sales. her inels per kikinelmer now ma diagnostics and tools that help detect diseases earlier especially when it comes to

prenatal screening and tools that research labs. in short, part diagnostics, part research company and this is the part of perk & elmer we really like. the human health is growing faster than its peers in the industry. if it traded as an independent company, think about this. we know that just two weeks ago, thermal fischer, tmo agreed to buy life technologies, very similar to the research side of perk & elmer's human health division. 15% premium to where the stock had been trading, but more importantly, almost 55% higher than it was before the rumors began. you break up perk & elmer as a stand-alone company, someone might try to take it over like life technologies. i think the break-up makes a ton of sense. the other part is the environmental health division where they make the technology and instrumentation for detecting contaminants to industrial end markets like chemicals. even construction. here's the problem. that's a slower growth business. okay? it's got lower margins. it's also more cyclical than human health side meaning stuff i don't like. meaning the environmental business is more captive to the health of the overall economy, both here and around the world

and a low slowing economic situation. they got slammed after a disappointing quarter and i was really wow. it fell from $34.47 to $30 and change, a decline of 12%. it is worth pointing out, much of the weakness here came, yes, from the environmental division. in fact, 85% of perk & elmer's business grew at a 3% clip. most of the company is chugging along okay, but the other 15% of the company down 25%. thanks to this environmental sales in western europe, along with weakness in japan. purchasing imaging instruments on the human health side. you break up perk & elmer, you'll be left with a robust very healthy company made up of the human health division. company on the environmental side, but one that might have more focus and attention, including the ability to add bulk through bold acquisitions as it could be a much better stand-alone entity. at the moment, it has faster organic growth, but it gets a lower valuation, stock selling

for 12 times next year's earnings in large part because they simply don't get the full credit for the human health business because of the ball and chain that is environmental business. the environmental side is ailing right now. the business still has a largely a play on increase in consumer safety regulations which you know will be toughened, not lessened over time and as decent growing exposure to china where issues of air, water pollution are becoming very important. you spinoff that environmental business and it can focus more heavily on china and other emerging markets and i think those are bottoming now. but the main reason i like perk & elmer's potential break-up play, right here, simply that the parts are worth more than the whole right now in the stock market. let me give a quick sum of the parts analysis. they call them smtp these days. you'll see what i mean. the human health business, part diagnostics and part laboratory research tools. if you look at what thermal fischer is paying, same valuation of perk & elmer's lab business, $1.8 billion enterprise value. how about the diagnostic side? that's similar to gen-probe,

that was taken over by whole logic taken over for six times sales, the same multiple, diagnostics worth $3.3 billion. let's add these two up and you get an enterprise value of $5.1 billion for just the human health business side. the entirety has an enterprise value of $4.4 billion. in other words, not only are you getting the environmental business for free here, but also the human health business at a discount. the environmental side has lower margin. so if we say it's worth two times sales, be more conservative, still gives you $1.9 billion enterprise value which means the total company is worth $7 billion, come on, 59% premium to the current price. so if it breaks itself up, it's possible that there could be $30, $30 stock could go to $48. that's right. 18 points. so conservatively, if perk & elmer announces it's divorcing itself, i see the stock bouncing back to 35 and change, and possibly a lot higher. i just gave you that ultimate target after the split. i'm not factoring if one of the

divisions catches a takeover bid. here's the bottom line. sometimes if a company wants to create value it has to create destruction of the biggest thing holding perk & elmer back, two very different businesses tied together under a same roof and shouldn't be that way. easy problem to solve. all management needs to do is announce a break-up and this stock will go higher with the stroke of a pen. "mad money" is back after the break. ♪

what would happen if you were bottomed out. no, not if it went up, but simply just bottomed. something the european stocks might be singling. last time we talked to sandy cutler and chuck bunch and both indicated that europe could be hitting bottom, and may not decline much at all. we got numbers from deutsche bank and ubs, spectacular. all signs things are getting better in europe despite the hideous employment numbers over there. for eaton's cutler, a huge electronics business, the continent is indeed mired in molasses, his quote. but may not be getting worse. yes, the business is terrible, but might be nearly -- just merely staying terrible. bunch goes further. he says he thinks the first quarter might have been the worst. and that things could actually look up between here and year-end. these are not idle sentiments. last week when howard schultz ceo of starbucks gave his

overview, he thought europe was bottoming. colgate indicated the same. there are many companies including technology companies that would indicate things are getting worse. there are also auto companies that say it could be getting much worse, although i still think gm might do a good number. but the ceos of ppg, colgate and starbucks are not pie in the sky guys. they're very smart people who know what their order book looks like and have all been very accurate at forecasting. hence why their companies have been able to navigate this treacherous period so well. their view dovetails with the banks' earnings and we're seeing, yes, remember in 2009, the banks here in this country bottomed before all other stocks so maybe the same thing is going on in europe. could that finally be a carry on the continent? stranger things have happened. if that's the case, if europe is bottoming, then eaton and ppg, could be huge buys here. because companies have taken out tremendous costs in europe not willing to wait for revenue to turn. if the revenues do turn, earnings would be magnificent. what's more important is that a turn in europe even in a year it could help us explain our

remarkable run here in america. you simply couldn't be getting this move in the international stocks we have had most recently, the bouncebacks after the disappointments. if yours truly flung off a cliff. given the grim news in europe, what could be the basis for forecasting a turn? i think it has to do with politics. the austerity has gotten europe as far as it can go. initially it was about reigning in government spending, that's been done. we know how much spain and italy have to pay to borrow money. same in spain. however, far more important, the slow down has at least arrived in germany, which has exerted tremendous hegemony over the rest of the world. meaning germany would be open to stimulus and a rate cut thursday by the european central bank when the pain is felt in germany, the germans can no longer fight the idea that deflation, not inflation is the issue. so much makes sense here. the run on the european bank stocks, five-year highs and the surging stocks of companies that

do business in europe. the bottom is being put in, despite what the naysayers tell us. and with it, the worldwide rally. stick with cramer.
