mike e.: carefully alfredsson to smith. the snow buildup gets heavier. 1:52. and back down. and another icing. with 1:45 left in regulation time. >> pierre: smith's brother, rileybrother played pro lacrosse in boston. i don't think there's a player that's played in this game that hasn't had a blast. talking to them during stoppages of play or walking up the tunnel with them, they all seemed to be having a blast here. >> mike e.: datsyuk on the face-off. up for grabs. abdelkader to tatar. wanted to try a wraparound. no luck. tatar able to turn it. back to smith for a shot. and that's deflected to the corner. turnaround try. and that one held at the side of the net and we get a stoppage of play. wayne gretzky has often said about playing outdoors in his youth, the one good thing about it was that when you came off the ice at the end of the game, you felt about the same way if you won as you did when you lost. i think these teams will look back on it as a great experience, but there has to be a winner. they'll smile bigger and have the two extra points, or maybe just one extra point if we wind up going to overtime and/or a shootout. >> eddie: the face-off, really
