Does anyone remember this? 2012 Stanley cup and I remember Fayne missing a wide open net in one of the opening games against the Kings. We ended up losing in OT and I personally believe its what set us up for failure in the series.
Thoughts?

This play and the Steve Bernier penalty will continue to give me nightmares until we ever win another Stanley cup
Wasn’t he playing on a broken foot by this point? Idk those first two games going to OT and losing were so massively deflating to me and if the Devils get one good bounce in either game to head to LA tied 1-1 I do believe they would’ve taken the series (probably going the distance in a game 7).

I think of this everyday
I see this when i close my eyes
Don’t forget Parise throwing the go ahead goal into the net when Zajac was STANDING RIGHT NEXT TO HIM in game 1. Changed the series
I had blissfully forgot about it tilll now
i miss doc
God I loved the team compositions so much during this SCF. That was such an emotional roller coaster of a series getting there. Some days I just wanna sit down and watch the devs run start to finish just to see how good we had it.
The all-strengths xG% in the first 5 games of that series was 50.03 to 49.97. Absolutely insane how close that series was.
