A minute and eighteen seconds separated the Buffalo Sabres from advancing to the Eastern Conference Finals. Leave it to Super Mario Lemieux to spoil the Sabres party and now they have to play another game to see who will advance as the Penguins beat the Sabres 3-2 in overtime. The Pens kept the pressure on the Sabres and it was Martin Straka who scored the game winner.

The key to the victory was Mario's goal that sent it into overtime. Forget about Straka's overtime goal, this game and possibly the series was won on one of the wackiest goals seen in years.
