‘Sensational’: Fans react Perfetti’s history-making goal in Game 7
And that’s exactly what the Winnipeg Jets were able to pull off on Sunday, rallying late to tie things up at 3-3 and force extras against the St. Louis Blues in their winner-take-all finale.
What’s better than a Game 7? Overtime in a Game 7.
And that’s exactly what the Winnipeg Jets were able to pull off on Sunday, rallying late to tie things up at 3-3 and force extra time against the St. Louis Blues in their winner-take-all finale.
The Jets trailed 3-1 entering the third period and looked like they weren’t going to get any closer … but then the final two minutes of regulation happened. First, a wrister from Vladislav Namestnikov at the 18:04 mark gave Winnipeg an inch of hope before Cole Perfetti‘s miraculous goal in the final seconds (19:57) busted the doors of belief wide open.
Perfetti’s goal is the latest Game 7, game-tying goal in NHL history, and the second latest game-tying goal in Stanley Cup Playoffs history.
The Jets went on to complete the comeback thanks to captain Adam Lowry’s game-winning goal in double overtime.
Talk about never giving up.
Unsurprisingly, the Jets’ uber-late comeback amazed and stunned hockey fans all over the world. Here are some of the best reactions to the phenomenal rally.
